Product Description
For the ultra-minimalist revolver user who conceal-carries in the pocket: Ultra-concealable boot grips for the Ruger LCR and LCRx line, 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 LCR. 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: Covered backstrap for repeatable, comfortable index finger placement on the trigger.
- Featherweight Carry: Save almost an entire ounce compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all Ruger LCR and the hammered LCRx revolvers, including the 3" barrel variants, and all calibers.
- Includes spare screw to enable full compatibility for the 3" LCRx.

- 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
Due to the flexible nature of the grip material, it is advised to apply the included tape during installation to secure the hammer pin block from vibration-induced movement during shooting.

They fit, but I'm not running them. They do not secure the hammer pin on the LCR like the factory grips are designed to do. I emailed Recoil Rider and I was told to use a piece of painters tape instead.
The grips are 3d printed, which was not apparent to me when I ordered them. Just worth mentioning.
I continue to buy these as I have several Ruger LCRs. I bought this one for the 9 mm. I was pretty interested to see how I would do it as I keep reading the 9 mm kicks too much. It didn't with the boot grips I had on it, so I took the leap and bought these as they are lighter, softer, and at least as compact. I wish I'd done it sooner.
It took the gun down to exactly 16 oz, and the recoil is negligible. I attribute this to the Ruger tenon polymer setup, but also these fine grips. Between the two it's a marriage made in heaven, as became evident when I fired several cylinders full of Federal BPLE.
Don’t bother with big name grips, or expensive exotics.
These grips are comfortable, very utilitarian, because the grip distance is perfect! I have Boot Grip on LCR ..38, CCW’s on LCR 9mm & S&W J frame 360. Definitely helps absorb felt recoil, grip not too soft or rubbery, perfect for AIWB!
I soldiered for 40 years, not claiming anything other than these are as perfect a grip I’ve used on a J frame or LCR.
Love my recoil rider grips. I have them on three LCRs. Order the boot version for my normally carried LCRx. The concealment advantage of the j-frame no longer exists. Recoil Rider grips slide easily out without hanging onto clothing and absorb recoil very well. If you carry a J-frame yet admire the smooth trigger if the Ruger LCR, Recoil Rider is your answer.
Preface: I bought this grip for my 22LR LCR, so recoil mitigation came in last on my list of considerations, beaten by both pocketability and comfort. That said...
I don't know what kind of engineering trickery went into the development of this grip, but it blows all the Hogue rubber offerings (and the Pachmayr Diamond Pros) out of the water! This is my first set of 3D-printed grips, and the finish throughout is a nice, even texture that offers just enough sandiness to be grippy without feeling overly abrasive. The large size is just right as an L/XL glove user, and the shared measurements are spot on for helping you make that decision. As advertised, they come in exactly one full ounce lighter than the OEM Hogue Tamer grips, all while maintaining comfortably sized finger grooves for a full 2-finger grip. I can't speak to the recoil mitigation because of my caliber of choice, but it's truly impressive that the backstrap face has a "squishy" patch of material that mimics the gel internals of the Hogue grips. Everything about this grip shows how much thought went into its design, and it's ended my search for the right LCR grip for me!
