Product Description

For the ultra-minimalist revolver user who conceal-carries in the pocket: Ultra-concealable boot grips for the S&W J-Frame Line 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 S&W J-Frame and improve the grip angle for a more 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: Corrects the classic J-Frame "pointing-down" angle, allowing 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 over an ounce compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.

Compatibility

  • Boot Grips for J-Frame: Fully Compatible with all internal-hammer S&W J-Frame models including the Ultimate Carry (UC), 642, 442, 632, and 432 Airweights, 340, 342, 351C, 640, 940, 40, 42, and 43.
    • DAO Only: Compatible with all shrouded hammer S&W J-Frame Humpback models including the S&W 638, 38, 49, 649, and 438 in double action, but not single action.
  • Also compatible with the Diamondback SDR-A.
  • Speedloader compatibe.

    Weight Comparison

    • S&W 642/442 Airweight (stock): 15 oz
    • S&W 642/442 Airweight (Recoil Rider): 13.7 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.
