Halo Charging Rind
I got this for a friend's Ruger 22/45. It makes charging it a lot easier. Well worth it.

Charging ring
Made a ton of difference on pulling back to slide comfortable wouldn’t mind if the edges are more rounded but worth purchasing. Glad I did it.

CHARGING RING
I initially wavered on purchasing this item due to the price. After pinching my thumb and realizing how sharp the edges on my MK IV 45/22 were, I decided to order. Happy with the purchase! Everyone who uses it comments on the ease of operation.

HALO charging ring.
Ruger should partner with Tandemkross and make this a standard on every MKIV that goes out the door. You might say you don’t need the bling till you pinch your fingers a few times. IYKYK! Very lightweight. Install is a bit tricky but not hard. Changes the shooting experience of a MKIV almost entirely. Can’t rate durability because I just got it. Don’t see anything that can really hurt it short of dropping it. There’s a reason it seems to be the standard all similar products are measured against.

Nicely Done!
This ring was purchased for a Ruger Mark III 22/45 Lite. Installation was a breeze and the aesthetics and function of the weapon are perfect! Great engineering.

Mark III & IV Charging Ring
Added the ring to my wife's Mark IV to help her with racking. It works very well for her. I have noticed an increase of cycling problems. This is somewhat ammunition related. We had run about 800 rounds of Norma Tac-22 with very few problems until adding the ring. Now we have cycling issues at least every 20 rounds. Switching to Aguila seemed to almost eliminate the issues.

Overpriced
I like the halo.. and it's definitely a needed accessory for my the Ruger Mark iv Lite. But.. there are other cheaper options available to solve the problem. No way this is worth $49. Maybe $15.. at the most. I wouldn't buy it again.
