The Carlson's Universal Aluminum Hammer Spur Extension is a practical upgrade for shooters who want a more secure grip on their hammer when cocking exposed-hammer firearms. Designed as an ambidextrous accessory, it works equally well for right-handed and left-handed shooters, making it a genuinely universal solution for T.C. Contenders and most rifles, shotguns, and handguns with exposed hammers. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal while the knurled body provides the positive, non-slip purchase you need when you're focusing on sight alignment and trigger control.
Installation is straightforward—no gunsmithing required. Once in place, the extension improves your ability to cock the hammer smoothly and consistently, which translates to more controlled shooting. The balanced, lightweight design also helps reduce uneven wear on trigger and sear surfaces over time, extending the life of your action. Whether you're running open sights or a telescopic sight, the extension works seamlessly with your existing setup.
The hard anodized finish—available in black or silver—resists corrosion and handles hard use. It's manufactured in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, so you can trust it to perform season after season in the field or on the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms will this hammer spur extension fit?
The Carlson's extension is designed for T.C. Contenders and most rifles, shotguns, and handguns with exposed hammers. If your firearm has an external hammer you can grasp and cock by hand, it's likely compatible. When in doubt, measure the hammer spur or consult your firearm's manual.
Will it work with a scope or only with iron sights?
The extension works with or without telescopic sights, so you can use it whether you're running a scoped setup or shooting with open sights.
Is installation complicated?
No. Installation is straightforward and requires no gunsmithing or special tools. The extension is designed to fit and function right out of the box on compatible firearms.
What's the difference between the black and silver finishes?
Both finishes are hard anodized aluminum and offer the same durability and corrosion resistance. The choice is purely cosmetic—select whichever matches your firearm's aesthetic.
