I thought of putting the red decelerator pad on my RSM .458Lott, but found that it would probably void the warranty on my stock. I wanted it for the look and nothing else. The Ruger Lott does not kick enough with full loads to constitute a different pad than the stock-black one. It's really not bad with recoil for me to be at all concerned about in the slightest. Others may have a different opinion on this though.
