Give your Browning Buck Mark a serious ergonomics upgrade with the TANDEMKROSS “HALO” Charging Ring for Browning Buck Mark – Black, Style A – TK12N0087BLK1 (UPC: 091131145203). Precision-made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, this stylish pull-ring charging handle is designed to make slide manipulation faster, easier, and more confident for practically any shooter.

Turn Tiny Bolt Ears into a Big, Easy Grip
One of the most common complaints about the otherwise excellent Browning Buck Mark .22 LR pistol is the small, hard-to-grab bolt ears. The HALO Charging Ring solves that problem by adding a large, circular pull ring to the rear of the slide, giving you a generous gripping surface that’s easy to find and grab—whether you’re shooting bare-handed or wearing gloves. MidwayUSA+1
Instead of pinching tiny ears, you simply hook a finger (or two) through the ring and pull straight back for a smooth, controlled charge every time.
Key Features & Benefits
Lightweight Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the HALO ring adds minimal weight while delivering outstanding strength and durability. It’s tough enough for serious range work and competition use without throwing off the Buck Mark’s balance. TANDEMKROSS+1
Unique, Stylish Pull-Ring Design
The signature halo ring shape isn’t just eye-catching—it’s highly functional. The large loop gives you a positive purchase point for:
Faster, more confident charging
Easier malfunction clearing
More control when locking the slide to the rear Pete's Pillars+1
Improved Accessibility for All Shooters
The HALO charging handle is especially helpful for:
Competition shooters running the gun hard under time pressure
Junior shooters with smaller or developing hand strength
Anyone with reduced grip strength, arthritis, or carpal tunnel
Shooters wearing cold-weather or duty gloves TANDEMKROSS+1
By dramatically increasing the available grip surface, it makes slide operation much more forgiving and user-friendly.
Ambidextrous, Easy-to-Reach Operation
Mounting to the rear of the slide, the halo ring is accessible from either side, making it a great choice for both right- and left-handed shooters. You can grab it from the top, side, or with an overhand grip depending on your preferred technique. Midwest Gun Works
Sleek, Contour-Matching Profile
Designed to complement the lines of the Browning Buck Mark, the HALO Charging Ring features smooth, contour-matching geometry that looks factory-correct rather than bulky or out of place. It adds premium, custom-gun style while staying practical and low-snag for range or holster use. MidwayUSA+1
Made in the USA with Lifetime Guarantee
Like other TANDEMKROSS upgrades, the HALO Charging Ring is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime guarantee against mechanical failure, giving you confidence that this is a long-term enhancement, not a disposable accessory. TANDEMKROSS+1
Why the HALO Charging Ring Is a Must-Have Buck Mark Upgrade
1. Faster, More Confident Charging
Under match pressure or in fast drills, fumbling with tiny bolt ears wastes time and breaks concentration. The HALO ring turns racking the slide into a large, gross-motor movement that’s:
Easy to repeat consistently
Easier in cold, wet, or sweaty conditions
Easier for new shooters to learn and trust The Professional Gunfighter
2. Enhanced Control for Malfunction Clearing
If you get a stubborn case or need to clear a malfunction, having a large, solid ring to grab makes it much easier to work the slide aggressively without slipping or pinching fingers.
3. Ideal for Training, Competition, and High-Volume Shooting
Whether you’re:
Running steel challenge or rimfire matches
Teaching new shooters on the Buck Mark
Shooting high-volume range sessions
…the HALO Charging Ring reduces fatigue and frustration, letting you focus on fundamentals instead of fighting the slide.
Compatibility Notes
Fits: Newer-style Browning Buck Mark pistols using the modern bolt design with pronounced “ears” on the rear of the slide (Style A). MidwayUSA+1
Does not fit: Older, discontinued Buck Mark bolt style (often pre-2001) or the unsupported “Style C” bolt that lacks the enlarged tabs required for installation. Always verify your slide type against the manufacturer’s compatibility chart before ordering. TANDEMKROSS+1
If your Buck Mark has the supported bolt style, the HALO makes an excellent drop-in enhancement with no permanent modification to the pistol.
Ideal Users & Use Cases
Match & competition shooters who need ultra-reliable slide manipulation under the clock
Instructors and coaches who want students to rack the slide safely and confidently
Recreational shooters who want a more comfortable, less finicky way to run their Buck Mark
Older shooters or those with hand issues who struggle with the small factory gripping surface
Cold-weather and outdoor shooters who frequently wear gloves
If the Buck Mark is your go-to .22 LR pistol, the HALO Charging Ring quickly becomes one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner?” upgrades.
