Galco Leather Slip On Recoil Pad Dark Havana Brown Ambi Small

The Galco Leather Slip On Recoil Pad in Dark Havana Brown is a simple, effective way to soften the punch of shotgun recoil without replacing your buttplate or stock. This small ambidextrous pad slips over your gun's butt and locks down with hook-and-loop fasteners, staying put through heavy shooting sessions. Whether you're running trap and skeet, hunting upland birds, or putting rounds downrange at the range, felt recoil reduction makes a real difference in accuracy and shooter comfort—especially over a long day.

Built from premium Latigo leather, this pad looks like it belongs on a quality shotgun and handles like it too. The 1/2" shock-absorbing gel layer does the heavy lifting, engineered to reduce felt recoil significantly. Dark Havana brown leather develops character with use and pairs well with most wood and blued finishes. The overlap hook-and-loop design is reliable and stays secure without rattling or shifting.

Fit matters: this small pad measures 5" in length and 1½" in width, and it's designed for flat buttplates—not curved or ventilated designs. It's a low-cost, no-gunsmithing upgrade that doesn't compromise your shotgun's lines or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this recoil pad work on my shotgun?

The Galco slip-on pad is designed for shotguns and rifles with flat buttplates. If your gun has a curved or ventilated buttplate, this pad won't fit properly. Measure your buttplate and compare to the 5" × 1½" dimensions before ordering.

How much does this reduce recoil?

The ½" shock-absorbing gel layer is engineered to reduce felt recoil significantly. Actual reduction varies based on gun weight, load, and shooting form, but the gel design makes a noticeable difference in comfort and control.

Will the hook-and-loop fastener stay secure during shooting?

The overlapping hook-and-loop design locks the pad in place and won't shift during normal use. It's reliable for field and range shooting, though you should inspect the fastener periodically for wear.

Is this ambidextrous?

Yes, the small size is ambidextrous and works for any shooter regardless of hand orientation.
