Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip — Ruger® LCR | Diamond Checkering | Black Rubber with Finger Grooves | 02482 | UPC: 034337024828
Transform the way your Ruger LCR handles with the Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip (02482). Built from durable, recoil-absorbing black rubber, this replacement grip features ergonomic finger grooves and diamond-pattern checkering for a locked-in hold—whether your hands are wet, gloved, or under stress. The Diamond Pro is purpose-designed to reduce felt recoil, tame muzzle flip, and deliver a more consistent trigger press so your lightweight revolver shoots like a bigger gun.
Why Choose the Pachmayr Diamond Pro for Ruger LCR?
The Ruger LCR is celebrated for its lightweight carry and smooth trigger, but small factory grips can be tough to control during rapid strings or +P loads. The Diamond Pro expands your purchase with a full, hand-filling profile and tacky rubber compound, improving control without adding unnecessary bulk. The result is faster follow-up shots, better sight tracking, and more confidence on the range or in everyday carry.
Key Features & Advantages
Ergonomic Finger Grooves: Natural indexing for a repeatable, high grip that enhances recoil management.
Diamond-Pattern Checkering: Classic look with modern traction for a secure hold in wet or sweaty conditions.
Recoil-Absorbing Rubber: High-density proprietary compound dampens snap from defensive loads while protecting hands during practice sessions.
Hand-Filling Profile: Slightly larger than many factory grips to spread recoil over more surface area—great for extended training.
Drop-In Fit: Designed specifically for the Ruger LCR platform for quick, no-hassle installation.
Enhanced Control & Comfort: Encourages straight-back trigger press, reduces flinch, and helps maintain sight alignment shot-to-shot.
Low-Glare Black Finish: Non-reflective surface complements the LCR’s matte aesthetic and resists wear.
Compatibility
*Always verify your specific LCR model (e.g., .38 Spl, 9mm, .357 Mag, .22 LR) uses the standard LCR grip frame. Not for the LCRx with exposed hammer if frame interface differs.
Installation Overview
Unload & Verify Safe. Open cylinder, remove all ammo from the work area.
Remove Factory Grip. Follow Ruger/Pachmayr instructions to loosen the grip screw and slide off the original grip.
Install Diamond Pro. Align the grip with the LCR grip frame and secure using the provided hardware.
Function Check. Ensure no interference with the trigger, cylinder release, or speedloader clearance.
Tip: After installation, run a few dry-fire cycles to confirm comfort and reach to the trigger.
Performance You Can Feel
Reduced Felt Recoil: Softer impulse equals longer practice sessions with less hand fatigue.
Improved Control: Finger grooves and tacky texture stabilize your grip for quicker follow-ups and tighter groups.

Ideal Use Cases
Everyday Carry (EDC): Better retention and comfort without compromising concealability.
Range Training: Shoot more, flinch less—especially with +P loads.
Home Defense: Secure, confident handling when conditions are less than perfect.
Recoil-Sensitive Shooters: A smart upgrade for newer shooters or anyone who wants a softer-shooting LCR.
Care & Maintenance
Simple Cleaning: Wipe with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents that can dry rubber.
Check Hardware Periodically: Re-torque grip screw as needed after extended use.
