Pocket carry stocks for Ruger LCR

[4given]

I'm considering purchasing an LCR in 38 special for pocket carry. It seems to be the lightest affordable option out there. Looking for recommendations for replacement stocks that would be more suitable for pocket carry. Ease of draw, weight and minimal printing for NPE's would be of primary concern. Recoil management would be secondary as I would be using wadcutters.
Thanks for any input you might have.

I run these:

Smaller profile than the stock tamer, hard sides, padded front and backstraps, holds up rather well. Just note that it will not work with exposed hammer models as the bacstrap sits high and can block hammer travel.

For me the Bantams are more ergonomic than the OEM grips --or maybe the better way to say it is less unergonomic.

Bantams and I modified mine to fit my hand and added some grip tape and stippling to get a better grip when firing off magnum rounds

That being said, I find the j frame trigger is 100% better in terms of reset while shooting under pressure so I do not carry the KLCR anymore.

I tried a set of bantam grips and was not happy with how they felt while shooting, so I put the OEM grips back on. I don't find the original grips a problem to pocket carry.

Hmmmm. I guess I’m going to have to try them; probably the only way to know for sure. You want to sell yours, Rich? :)

Wowzer, I guess I will buy one if I can find one that is actually affordable! Slim pickin's and fat prices....

I would literally give them to you, but unfortunately I destroyed them trying to get them off. For whatever reason, they went on very very tight and short of some serious work with a Dremel, they refused to budge. Sorry. :(

I didn't like them either and went back to factory grips. If I can find them in my big box of unused holsters, stocks, grips, etc, I'll send them to you out of Karma.

Sorry, Totem Polar, can't find them. Must have donated them to the club when I got rid of a bunch of sack holsters I purchased 20 years ago when I didn't know any better.

[Totem Polar]

I appreciate you both.

I ordered up a set. Maybe they’ll work, maybe they’ll be bad karma.

I like the compact boot grip

They’ll work with the x models if you sand/file away the area that blocks the hammer.

These are another possibility: https://www.eaglegrips.com/ruger-lcr-lcrx-grips/403-ruger-lcr-and-lcrx-rosewood-secret-service-grips-checkered.html

I have not used them, but have had them mentally bookmarked as the only suitable option for an LCR if/when I ever buy one. If Hogue or VZ started making LCR G-10 grips that would probably get me to buy the gun, but the biggest reason I haven't is a total lack of acceptable grip options.

I ran the Rogers grips on mine or the regular finger groove Hogues. I never had an issue drawing from the pocket with either one.

[Gun Mutt]

Neat trick I learned here on P-F; with a little patience, one can take a dremel & emery cloth the OEM grips. I prefer these to everything else I've tried.

My LCR is in my pocket any time I am home. I've always run the grips it came with and have never had a problem.
After reading this thread however, I may take some sandpaper to a couple of spots and my try stippling the front strap.
