Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the Ruger SP101 revolver line. 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, they shed over an ounce of weight for easier carry and improve the grip angle of your Ruger SP101 revolver for a more natural point-of-aim. Whether you're carrying your revolver AIWB or in a pocket, these grips deliver an upgraded shooting and CCW experience
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: Corrects the classic revolver "pointing-down" angle, allowing your sights to align naturally like a modern semi-auto.
- Low-Profile: Conceals like a two-finger boot grip while providing a full three-finger firing grip with a dedicated pinky rest.
- Optimized Trigger Reach: Adds backstrap depth for repeatable, comfortable index finger placement on the trigger.
- Featherweight Carry: Saves over an ounce compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.
Compatibility
- Compatible with all Ruger SP101 revolvers, including hammered and bobbed hammers versions.
- Speedloader Compatible.
Weight Comparison
- Ruger SP101 (stock): 26.3 oz
- Ruger SP101 (Recoil Rider): 24.3 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.

I bought grips for my Smith & Wesson air weight and my SP 101 snub nose.
I took them both to the range and the grips are a game changer.
Despite the loudness of the 38 Special out of the air weight, there was no sting in the grip.
The SP101 with full power 357 was completely acceptable.
The fact that the material does not snag on clothing is a great selling point that hogue rubber grips cannot claim.
I recommended the grips to the range master for his SW airweight.
I'm hoping that the grips outlast me in terms of whatever the material is that you use.
Thanks
Quite possibly, the best designed, and functioning revolver grips I have ever used!
Installed these yesterday, but haven’t had a chance to shoot with them yet.
What I can say: These are very ergonomic and holster well. I expect it will help a lot with recoil, considering the bulk behind the hammer area, at the back of the grip.
My hands are pretty exact (average/medium size), in terms of the dimensions the guide shows, and the large grips work well with my hand size.
I went through several grips for my sp101, with Recoil Rider I finally found the "just right" grips for it. I also bought these grips for the Ruger LCR, and again, they are perfect.
These grips are comfortable, and great fitting. I haven't shot with them yet but from the feel, they should mitigate recoil substantially. As others have noted, they have a firm yet soft foam feel to them and feel great in the hand. A quality product from a US veteran, what's not to like? Thank you!
