IronMind CoC Silver Bullet

CoC Silver Bullet provides the ultimate grip strength challenge! Think your grip is strong? Prove it with the CoC Silver Bullet.

Put your grip strength to the test with the IronMind CoC Silver Bullet, perfect for building endurance, power, and raw grip strength.

Use the CoC Silver Bullet with your favourite Captains of Crush Hand Gripper (sold seperately) to perform the challenging Silver Bullet hold. Simply attach a 2.5kg weight plate to the included strap, place the Silver Bullet between the CoC gripper handles and squeeze. Hold on tight, because once your grip gives out the weight plate will drop — keep those feet out of the way!

This popular test is a staple in grip strength competitions worldwide.

Track your progress by increasing the weight, using tougher grippers, or extending your hold time. Here’s how you measure up:
15 sec: Average
30 sec: Better than most
40 sec: Exceptional
50 sec: World-class

Included with the CoC Silver Bullet is a full instruction leaflet to help you get started. Note that the weight plate is not included.

The IronMind® CoC Silver Bullet Challenge: World Record Attempt Rules:

A genuine IronMind Captains of Crush® No. 2 (women), or No. 3 or No. 4 (men) gripper must be used.
The gripper must be new, in an unbroken package and opened on the spot.
Ordinary chalk (magnesium carbonate) may be used on the gripping hand, but nothing else is permitted (liquid chalk, for example, is specifically disallowed).
A genuine IronMind CoC Silver Bullet weight may either be an IronMind CoC Silver Bullet Disc or an IWF or IPF certified (calibrated) 2.5-kg plate.
The CoC Silver Bullet is inserted by the competitor no deeper than up to the top edge of the clear band, so that the script Captains of Crush® is legible, and so that all four fingers are in contact with the CoC gripper handle (dropping the pinky completely off the end of the gripper handle is expressly prohibited). The CoC Silver Bullet must be aligned with the handles of the gripper, which cannot overlap with the CoC Silver Bullet in what we call a three-point position.
Using one or two hands, the competitor closes the CoC gripper in his/her own time so that the two handles hold the CoC Silver Bullet in place and once this position has been achieved, and only one hand is holding the gripper shut, the referee gives the signal to start the clock. If the competitor fails to get a secure hold on the CoC Silver Bullet, s/he is allowed one chance to reset it.
The hand must be held with the gripper approximately vertical, and the referee may give one warning to correct the position. No contact between the lifting arm and the body is permitted.
Time stops when the Silver Bullet drops from the handles or when the referee observes any contact between the pinky and the CoC Silver Bullet, or any other illegal position.
Independent of the timekeeper, a referee (whose sole responsibility is the assure that the rules regarding placement, hand position, ect. are being followed) must officiate the attempts.
*Women's rules are identical to those followed by the men, except that a CoC No. 2 must be used, rather than a CoC No. 3 or CoC No. 4.
