Product Description
For the ultra-minimalist revolver user who conceal-carries in the pocket: Ultra-concealable boot grips for the Kimber K6XS and K6S (DAO) revolvers, optimized for pocket-carry. Before, wheelgun shooters had to choose between shooting comfort (sticky rubber grips) or carry comfort (rigid wood or G10 grips). Recoil Rider revolver grips provide both, combining the recoil absorption of rubber grips with the snag-free carry comfort of wooden grips. Plus, Recoil Rider grips are the the lightest boot grips available for the Kimber K6 revolver. They cover the backstrap to optimize trigger reach, and feature an intuitive grip angle for a natural point-of-aim. If you're carrying your revolver the pocket, these boot these grips deliver an upgraded shooting and CCW experience.
What is the difference between the CCW Grip and the Boot Grip?
Features
- Recoil Absorption: Covers the backstrap with a cushioned, shock-mitigating material that tames even hot ammo.
- Snag-free Concealment: Unlike traditional rubber grips, Recoil Rider grips have a non-tacky exterior that glides against cover garments to prevent printing, shirt grabbing, or chafing your stomach during AIWB carry.
- Natural Point-of-Aim: Grip angle allows your sights to align naturally like a modern semi-auto.
- Low-Profile: The slimmest and lightest boot grips ever made.
- Optimized Trigger Reach: Adds backstrap depth for repeatable, comfortable index finger placement on the trigger.
-
Featherweight Carry: Saves almost an entire ounce compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.
Compatibility
- Compatible with the aluminum frame Kimber K6XS and the steel frame Kimber K6S DAO.
-
Speedloader Compatible.
Weight Comparison
- Kimber K6xs (stock): 15.8 oz
- Kimber K6xs (Recoil Rider): 14.9 oz
Sizing Guide

- Standard Fit: Best for small and medium-sized hands. (At or below chart measurements).
- Large Fit: Best for larger hands (At or above chart measurements). Thicker backstrap improves recoil reduction.
-
Concealment Note: Both sizes are fully optimized for AIWB and pocket carry. Choosing Large only increases grip width and backstrap thickness - overall length remains the same.
Assembly
If you are having difficulty installing or removing the grip, I recommend heating the grip to make it more pliable: warming evenly with a hair dryer on low heat, or five minutes in a clothes dryer on medium/permanent press. Do not use excessive or focused heat, as exposure to temperatures above 100°C (212°F) could cause discoloration and/or warping.

Purchased the Recoil Ryder large grips for my Kimber K6s. Love the K6s but the grips did not cover the back strap and was difficult to shoot anything but .38 special. These grips were easy to put on, covered the back strap and greatly mitigated the painful recoil. Shot several .38 +P without any pain at all. The grips also make it much easier to control the gun. I carry IWB and the grips do not show anymore than the originals. Really pleased with the grips! Definitely would purchase again for my other revolvers when the grips are available.
Very practical grip. Excellent recoil absorption. Good compact design.
Love these grips for my Kimber K6xs. I bought the larger size, and they fit my hand perfectly. They're comfortable, grippy but not sticky and are easy to install and remove for cleaning (unlike the factory grip). They also have plenty of room for the use of a speedloader. Ordering was easy, shipping was fast and the whole deal was effortless. I would highly recommend Recoil Ryder grips!
Fit and finish on these grips are top of the line. It took less than 5 minutes to remove the old grips and install the new. I can’t wait to my Kimber to the range.
