For a long while there, Ballistic Metal was releasing new and interesting designs regularly - and the Hellfire is one such interesting design. With a thick band of modest width as the base, this brushed aluminum ring features 3/16" holes drilled along the full length of the band on its centerline. This gives the unmistakable impression of a rocket pod on an Apache attack chopper (which is also loaded out with the Hellfire missile).
As an experienced collector, I’ve long wanted a tapered ring that draws the eye from a wide base to a tightly and well presented package… and sure enough, Ballistic Metal delivered. The tapered ring reduces in size by about 1/4" depending on the size you order. Each edge is accentuated with a slight “bulge” leading to the edge to give a more decorative impression. The 2oz weight is negligible given that this ring is made of lightweight aluminum, but the nearly 1" width of the band definitely makes for a commanding display.
Identical to the Plunge ring, the Total Plunge shares the same design but with a larger band width. One of the most enjoyable rings in the collection, the Gear Essentials Total Plunge is an all day and all night ring. The smoothly domed inside creates a level of comfort not seen in most other rings. The thickness of the ring, coming in at about 1/4" and the width of the ring, coming in at 1" really makes sure that tight pinches in your jeans or edges digging in while fully erect just doesnt happen.
A fairly plain and even boring aluminum ring. While the color is nice, the ring itself is too small in height/width to be comfortable when fully hard. This is common with thin banded rings, but is also a matter if preference.

The thickness of the ring, coming in at about 1/4" and the width of the ring, coming in at .6" really makes sure that tight pinches in your jeans or edges digging in while fully erect just doesnt happen.
