Pachmayr T550 Trap Pad

• Concave trap-style face: helps seat the butt consistently on the shoulder, which is especially useful in trap shooting where repeatable gun mount and head position matter from shot to shot.
• Double "X" sidecore design: adds comfort under recoil while keeping the pad supportive, so the gun feels steadier during long practice sessions and competition use.
• 1.10” pad thickness: provides meaningful cushioning without turning the stock into an overly bulky setup, helping preserve handling while softening recoil impact.
• Ground-to-fit construction: allows the pad to be shaped to the stock contours for a cleaner installation and a more secure, factory-like fit on compatible rifle or shotgun stocks.
• Made in USA rubber construction: combines a durable material with domestic manufacture, giving the pad the resilience needed for regular field and range use.

About the Pachmayr Accessories Series

Pachmayr Accessories covers a broad range of shooting components, including recoil pads, handgun and revolver grips, and rifle accessories built for practical use rather than decoration alone. The series reflects Pachmayr’s long-standing focus on improving how firearms handle in the hand and on the shoulder, with products intended for hunting, clay shooting, general range use, and workshop fitting projects. A defining part of the line is its emphasis on recoil management and control, an approach that goes back to the company’s early recoil-pad designs.

Within the series, recoil pads remain one of the most recognizable categories. They are made for shooters who want a more secure mount, better comfort over repeated shots, and a stock interface that can be tailored to the firearm. Alongside grip options in rubber, laminate, and G10 configurations, these accessories show a consistent design philosophy: practical ergonomics, durable materials, and fit options for real firearms use. For shooters and gunsmiths alike, the series is known for straightforward parts that improve comfort and handling without changing the basic character of the firearm.

About the Pachmayr T550 Trap Pad

The Pachmayr T550 Trap Pad is built for shooters who want the feel and geometry of a dedicated trap-style recoil pad. Its defining feature is the concave face, which helps the butt settle into the shoulder pocket in a repeatable way. In practice, that matters on trap guns and other sporting setups where a consistent mount can influence sight picture, cheek position, and follow-through just as much as raw recoil reduction.

The pad also uses Pachmayr’s Double “X” sidecore design, which is intended to make the pad comfortable under recoil while avoiding the vague, overly soft feel that can let the stock shift during the shot. That balance is useful for high-volume clay shooting, where comfort over many rounds matters, but so does keeping the gun stable and predictable. With a 1.10” thickness, the T550 adds cushioning without making the stock excessively bulky, and its rubber construction gives it the grip and resilience expected from a fitted recoil pad.

This model is supplied in black with a White Line® base and a medium size, using the Pigeon face texture in this version. As a ground-to-fit pad, it is intended for shaping to the stock contours during installation, which makes it suitable for custom fitting on compatible rifle or shotgun stocks where a neat finish and correct shoulder presentation are important.

About Pachmayr

Pachmayr was founded by Frank Pachmayr in 1929 and built its reputation around practical firearm accessories for shooters, hunters, gunsmiths, and law-enforcement users. The company introduced its first recoil pad in 1949, establishing a product category that remains closely associated with the brand. Over time, Pachmayr expanded into handgun grips, rifle accessories, gunsmithing tools, and other shooting components designed to improve control, comfort, and fit.

The brand became part of Lyman in 1996, and Pachmayr products continue to focus on recoil management and handling improvements across a wide range of firearms. The company is also known for using Decelerator material in recoil-reducing products and for maintaining a strong presence in both grips and recoil pads. That background makes Pachmayr a natural fit for shooters looking for accessories with a long history in practical firearms use.
