Customer Spotlight: Fellow wheelgunner Ernest tried Recoil Riders and sent us this feedback: "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."
Much appreciated, Ernest.
