I found a slip on recoil pad that fits the R92
Posted: 20 Feb 2019 15:40
I hate the curved butt of the R92 and in the past failed to find any slip on butt pads for it. I've had one in 357 Magnum and though factory loads are fine on my shoulder if I'm squared up to it, but I have a few hundred rounds of Prvi Partizan hunting loads that are pretty hot and it rams my bony shoulder pretty good. I have a Pachmayr Small Decelerator on my shotgun and have tried to see if it would be an acceptable fit for the R92 but it's too big, as are other "small" sized slip pads used for shotguns and big bore rifles.
I recently bought an R92 in 44 Mag but haven't shot it yet because I wasn't keen on trying it out with the factory stock and metal butt plate. If a hot load 357 can bruise my 5'7" 130 lbs late 50s body I expect the 44 Mag won't be too comfortable. I accidentally came across this pad from an eBay search:

In the description it says it fits: 4 1/2" X 1 3/8" Up To 4 11/16" X 1 1/2" Stocks. So I ordered one and am happy to say that it slips on and fits the R92 butt very well. Fits snug but not so tight that it would be hard to get on or off. The padding adds about 1" to the LOP. I was worried about the convex curve of the Rossi stock's butt and how that might affect the feel of the slip on pad. But once it's on I don't feel as if there's any hollow slack in the middle. Haven't tried it out on the range yet but I'm very optimistic. You can also find it on Amazon if you search for "HIVIZ SP-S Slip On Recoil Pad, Small" if you're wary of shopping on eBay:
BTW, I'm not affiliated with the company who makes or sells these pads in any way. Just excited that I've finally found a slip on pad that fits the small and skinny cross section of the R92 stock for a cheap and easy solution to modifying that hard curved butt.
