About Tactical Solutions

Tactical Solutions has been a pioneer in rimfire firearms technology since 2002, operating from their facility in Boise, Idaho.

The company began by manufacturing PAC-LITE barrel upgrades for Ruger Mark series pistols, offering customers improved accuracy and lighter weight.

Over more than 20 years, Tactical Solutions evolved from an aftermarket parts manufacturer to a complete rimfire firearms manufacturer with their proprietary X-RING receiver technology.

The company has established itself as a premium brand in the rimfire community, particularly known for their aluminum shrouded barrel designs and precision engineering.

Today, Tactical Solutions continues their commitment to manufacturing lightweight, accurate rimfire solutions while maintaining the highest quality standards in the industry.
