I generally shoot 400-500 rounds each time I’m at the range with no issues. The only ammo issue I had an issue with was with 36 grain hollow points. I think that ammo is not powerful enough to fully cycle the slide. BTW, as I mentioned above, I shoot lots of rounds and clean it every other range outing. This firearm stays relatively clean for a 22.

@travisp11 Жыл бұрын

I agree. It does cycle well in general with a variety of ammo and cleaning isn’t any more difficult than any other semi auto pistol that I own.

I put my tx22 back together and seems like the gap between the slide and gun body where it says Bainbridge, GA has gotten wider. I just got the gun earlier this week and don't remember the gap. While holding it up looking at it, it's actually wide enough that I can see the spring inside through the gap. Is that normal? I'm making sure the spring is pushed down all the way before reassembling, but can't make the gap any smaller.

@travisp11 2 жыл бұрын

That seems a bit excessive. Does is dry fire like normal? You can sometimes see the recoil spring in some guns when they are assembled. It is fires like normal I wouldn’t worry about it but if it has any cycling issues, send it in.

Good job, however oil is an attractant for dirt and powder fouling. Minimal oiling is ideal however the wear areas and sliding surfaces should be well lubed as well as the outside especially in humid and wet environments. Surgically placement of oil is the best idea as too much can be a negative. Dont forget the magazine .

Yeah, does the rear of the striker poke out of that hole when the when the slide has been pulled back and the firearm is cocked/charged to fire?

If you've followed all the other steps and the slide won't budge, give it a good whack from the rear to the front, while holding the takedown lever down. That should get the slide loose and then you can proceed as normal.

That way any burrs from cheaper manufacturing processes and friction areas wear in, they become a little more reliable with cheap ammo. (At least that's what I think happened with Gizzard Gary's TX22)

@@travist3379 I wonder if some of the earlier production runs were a bit rough out of the factory. I think Gary's had a bad magazine too if I'm not mistaken.

I bought my wife a tx 22. She loves it. I shot it some.i was impressed.she bought me one for my birthday. I have several 22 pistols and revolvers. Tarus tx 22 is now my favorite . I have a 509 tactic as l 9mm . Was interested in the fn 502. But it's not even really made by fn. Besides it's over 500 bucks. You can buy 2 tx 22 for not much more. If your on the fence on buying one just do it.

My TX22 has been rock solid.
