22lr Handguns-Reviews, Recommendations, and Trouble Shooting

[TradLife406]

Anyone install a TandomKross trigger in their tx22?

Maybe my expectations were too high. I maxed out the pretravel and it still seems like a lot.

I mean it's definitely better than oem. But maybe only a 50% improvement with the lighter trigger spring.

I tried a friends TK trigger in his tx22 when I still had one. It sucked less than factory, still sucked.

Finished off another 2000 22LR with the hammerli.
Total round count is now about 3100.

Field stripped today: wear patterns look ok to me.
Let me know if you guys see anything worrisome. The ejector has a small amount of play, but no failures to eject.

I ordered a replacement spring to have on hand. It gave me a chance to compare spring compression. Looks like I’ve lost about a coil of pre-load.

In summary, I’m happy with the gun. It is not giving any issues. I’ll probably pick up another when they go on sale for $200 again.

I have a Sig P322 that I am obsessed with... it has a SilencerCo Sparrow and a streamlight on the front, I also upgraded to a Holosun red dot.

I shoot it 4 or 5 days a week off the back porch... steel out to 50yds off the back. It's unbelievable. I can shoot 3'' groups at 40yds (good as I can shoot) It's killed a ton of stuff trapping and doing some varmint control, and I always carry it deer hunting or archery hunting for a squirrel or grouse freebie.

and it shoots basically everything decent. My only real gripe is it will only cycle Subs if it's extremely clean, like under 200rds at a time.


other than that, it's a perfect pistol.

I also have a 1911-22 Generic cheapo that I shoot a lot as well, just not as much.

Man, that is gloriously nasty on the inside, super cool to see it still running like a machine.

Dig back a bit into this thread and find discussion of @43.6N 's homebrew lubricant, how and where to apply, etc. That should give you quite a bit more reliability with the subs. If that doesn't work, try the rimfire remedy from cherry balms. Really lightweight greases are where it's at with gun reliability.

I owned a terrible Browning Buckmark, before moving to a Ruger Mark IV, and now also have a Ruger Single Six LR/WMR that I bought rusted and restored. The Single Six doesn't care what I put in it, but the Mark IV loves CCI.

THIS is the workout I was hoping to be able to give mine. Awesome to see yours is trucking along this well. 3100 rounds!! My thumbs hurt just thinking about loading all those mags!!

Anomaly here, I like the old stuff. This is a premium target 22lr from the 70s.

1. High Standard Victor
2. Target practice and plinking
3. CCI standard
4. Highly reliable so long as you don’t abuse mags.

I’ve owned a few of these and what I love about them is the real gun feel and the shootability. Part of that is the weight, these are not light guns. They are however very smooth when cycling.

me too, Eddie.... But more refined and not so clunky.
