Ruger LCR and LCRx Boot Grips

Perfect fit for my Ruger LCRx 22mag, the grip is lighter than the original Hogue Grip that comes standard on the LCRx 22mag.

This is my second set of grips. The first one's were not the boot grip which these are. Not surprisingly these are just as excellent as the first set. They're really lightweight, fit perfectly, and attenuate recoil nicely.
They're the best LCR grips you can buy. Hogue better luck out.

I've tried Hogue, Delta, Pachmayr and now Recoil Rider, and so far this is the most BALANCED grip for the intended purpose of the LCR (I have the 9mm version).

That title use to belong to the stock Hogue (I kept going back even after purchasing more and more grips), but the Recoil Riders is lighter, less sticky and allows an even higher grip (so hopefully this will remain the king). I noticed in all the pictures, the grips didn't fully cover the lower part of the hammer pivot pin but mine does. I'm glad for the design change as it makes it look more like a finished product and tells me David is still making improvements.

SUGGESTION: If you can somehow design an LCR (not X) specific grip where the web of your hand can sit even higher, I think it would further differentiate Recoil Rider from all the rest.

DISCLOSURE: I have not taken it to the range yet, but just dry firing in this setup I can already tell that this is the most solid feeling from all the grips I've tried in the past. With the Recoil Riders, I naturally hold the grip high enough that the cylinder release acts as an index point/semi-gass pedal for the thumb. Add in the support hand, and the front sight NEVER moves throughout the entire stroke. I also tested by drawing/picking up the LCR without looking and the hand/thumb always goes to the smae spot every time. This design/feel is a winner and hope the materials used will last the test of time.

Really awesome grip. This is such an improvement over the stock hogue tamer grip. The fit is perfect, and the grip this provides is very repeatable forconsistent first shots from a draw. The grip does exactly what they say. It does, it feels very firm and secure like a traditional wooden grip does, but provides advanced recoil absorption. And it is slim, so it doesn’t print, and because of the material it doesn’t grip my shirt and get caught on anything.. Every single aspect of this grip is a win.

Bottom Line up front: Great pocket rocket grips, pleasantly squishy, a little slick in texture but that can be remedied with some tape.

I was debating buying a LCR in .32H&R Mag and the new Smith 632 Ti. The LCR weighs 13.9oz and costs about $450. The Smith 632 Ti weighs 13oz and costs $750-800 (not to mention their current abysmal QC). I was heavily debating spending $300 to save an ounce because I'm dumb.

Anyway, I eventually went with the LCR, and saw chatter about the Recoil Rider grips. I initially got them because of their shape and smoother texture for pocket/coat carry. The hogues tend to be too tacky and hang up on the draw. When I installed them, I realized just how much lighter they are than the hogues the LCR comes with. The gun now weighs 13.1oz. So I had my cake and ate it too.

Shooting:
As they come, they work fine as long as your hands are dry. The polymer gives a little under recoil, absorbing the mighty recoil of the .32 (LOL). I wrapped a little hockey stick tape around them to add just a bit more bite on the hand. The geometry of the grips allows as good a 2.5 finger grip as you would expect on a boot grip, and my draw index is unchanged. So far so good.

The LCR is now my primary underwear gun around the house and on beer runs.
