TANDEMKROSS is well-known for souping up popular rimfire pistols and rifles with cool looking, functional parts. In fact, TTAG’s loaner SW22 Victory is sporting the entire TANDEMKROSS package as I type (review pending). In a press release sent yesterday, I was surprised to see TK branching out into the centerfire world with a Halo Charging Ring and Accelerator Thumb Ledge for GLOCKs. While we’ve enjoyed the Halo on the SW22 quite a bit, I’m not sure how it’ll be received in the GLOCK world. The Thumb Ledge, though, is an awesome touch that’s especially at home in competition shooting. TK’s press release follows . . .

You’re kidding, right? Is this April fools?
“Glock® pistols are popular among competition shooters in speed shooting sports”. OPEN GUN, did you notice the RMR cut on the top of the slide.
Why that’s true the gear is now being sold to fools that grip tape up a stippled carry gun that has a magwell and extended mag with a compensator out front. USPSA has like 25k member and the numbers are smaller when you look at who shoot in the open division and smaller yet when you look at who is shooting Glocks in the open division. This is bargain priced gear that, while telling us it’s being sold for competition, is much more likely to end up mounted on a gun that’s owned by a non-shooting ninja.
The “halo” ring actually shows some promise for recreation shooters with dexterity and arthritis issues.
Taking mall ninja gear up a notch or two.
Competition open gun, Mall ninja’s add the bayonet.
I thought maybe the photo caption contest started early….
Calling all dumb asses…
Thumb shelf. So your gun no longer works with any of your holsters.
What in the actual shit is this!?!!?!!!?! First off will that even work with any holster out there or am I supposed to modify my gear? Secondly in all of my 14 years of near daily carrying a Glock and showing more than a few new shooters how to do the basics I have yet to find any one who actually has any use for this! Third (and currently last) I’m missing most of my right index, one of the guys I know has three finger on his strong hand and two on his weak side… yeah neither of us need this expensive peice of watery feces.
Brass Stacker has had a slide pull ring for years
