Description
The Pachmayr Diamond Pro grip is built specifically for the Ruger GP100 revolver. It's a one-piece design that wraps completely around the frame with its soft, specially blended rubber compound. What sets this grip apart is how it manages recoil without adding bulk to the gun.
Why the Diamond Pro Works for GP100 Owners
You get three things working together here: patented finger grooves that guide your hand from palm to fingertips, a covered backstrap for added comfort and protection, and diamond plate checkering that bites just right whether your hands are dry or wet. The result is a grip that stays put under rapid fire and lets you get back on target faster. This matters whether you're at the range running drills or out working.
Installing and Living With This Grip
Installation is straightforward – it's a single screw attachment that takes about ten minutes. The grip sits snug on the frame with no rattle, and the material softens over time with use, improving the feel. Because it completely wraps around the frame rather than leaving gaps like some alternatives, you get consistent ergonomics and a cleaner look on your revolver.
The recoil reduction from this grip is noticeable, especially if you're putting heavy .357 Magnum loads through your GP100. Users who've tried multiple options often come back to these specifically because they provide the recoil absorption you expect without making the gun feel oversized in your hand. The durability of the rubber compound means it holds up to regular use without deteriorating or becoming sticky over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Diamond Pro grip work on all GP100 models?
Yes, this grip is designed specifically for Ruger GP100 revolvers. Installation is straightforward with a single screw attachment. Some users have reported that newer GP100 frames may require a very slight adjustment during installation, but the grip is engineered to fit securely across all GP100 production runs.
How much does this grip help with recoil?
The combination of the soft rubber compound, covered backstrap, and overall design significantly reduces felt recoil compared to factory grips. The effect is especially noticeable with .357 Magnum loads. Users report the grip becomes more effective as the material settles in with use.
Will my holster still fit with the Diamond Pro grip?
The Diamond Pro grip is slightly bulkier than the factory grip. If your holster was fitted for the GP100 with factory grips, you should verify it accommodates the aftermarket grip before relying on it for carry. Holsters designed for GP100s with aftermarket grips will work without issue.
How long will the rubber last?
Pachmayr uses specially blended rubber compounds formulated for durability and long-term use. The material doesn't crack, become sticky, or deteriorate with regular shooting. The grip should provide years of reliable service with normal use and care.
