Carlson’s Silver Universal Hammer Expander

Carlson’s Silver Hammer Expander is a compact, ambidextrous extension for exposed hammers that assists with cocking for both left- and right-hand operation. Designed for universal fit on T/C Contenders and many exposed-hammer rifles, shotguns, and handguns, it installs easily and maintains sight clearance when used with telescopic optics. The knurled, balanced design reduces uneven wear on trigger and sear surfaces while providing a positive, non-slip surface for thumb operation.
