Is the SW22 Victory One of the Best Rimfire Pistols for Competition?
Posted by Danielle Gagnon on 21st Jul 2016
When I first started working at TANDEMKROSS in May, I had only fired a gun once in my life. I was eager to learn about the firearms industry, the best .22lr pistols and, of course, TANDEMKROSS upgrades and how they help our customers.
To help me get familiar with [ T K ] products, our company co-founders often bring (unloaded) firearms to my desk to talk me through the installation of various parts, their uses and how they benefit you- our valued customers.
It’s been quite the learning process so far, and while I’ve had plenty of interesting moments along the way, one moment stands out: the day I could not charge the SW22 Victory.
It happened when I was testing out a prototype of an exciting new part we’re working on for the SW22 Victory (I can’t share more details on that right now, but hope tosoon!). I watched as [ T K ] co-founders Jake and Bryan pulled back the pistol’s bolt fairly easily. They assured me it wasn’t easy to pull back, but I was confident. After all, I lift weights!
I took the rimfire pistol and after double-checking to ensure the chamber and magazine well were empty, I pulled back on the bolt. And nothing happened. It did not even budge.
“My fingers must be slippery,” I said, laughing nervously.
I pulled again, harder this time. Still nothing!
“Is it stuck?” I asked, hopeful.
I was assured it was not stuck and so I pulled again...and again...until finally it released. Once I got the hang of it, it became easier to charge, but I was still shocked at how challenging it was.
I learned that the Smith and Wesson Victory has a very strong hammer spring and small bolt grip, making it harder to charge than a lot of other rimfire pistols.I kept thinking about the young competition shooters we sponsor on Team TANDEMKROSS, and how challenging it might be for them, an older shooter or anyone with smaller hands, to charge the SW22 Victory pistol.
It was a great moment of learning for me, not only about the .22lr Victory itself, but also about our “halo” Charging Ring and just how valuable it is. After my struggle, I tried charging the Victory with the “halo” installed and it was incredibly simple. I could immediately see just how powerful this part really is to Victory owners of all ages and experience level.
I’m not alone. We’ve heard great feedback from customers,reviewers and competition shooters about the value the “halo” brings to the Victory.
This
month, we’re sharing this feedback with you and celebrating the SW22
Victory.There’s a reason this firearm is quickly becoming one of the
most popular rimfire pistols on the market: it's a fun gun to shoot, and
is practically begging for add-on parts and accessories like our "halo"
and "Game Changer" compensator.

you don't have a Victory yet, you just might want one after reading this

"halo" Charging Ring
As
you read in the introduction to this newsletter, charging your SW22
Victory may not be as simple as it seems, thanks to thelimited grip
surface of the bolt ears. For junior and senior shooters, overcoming the
hammer can also be a serious challenge.

Charging Ring helps users overcome these challenges. Itsunique ring pull
design ensures fingers of any size can get a proper grip and utilize
the extra leverage needed to make the job easy.
