@ianbarton6804 Did you align the notch on the slide to the back of the slide stop? Also, make sure the barrel link is lined up before inserting the slide stop through the frame.

@sonnym1461 Sometimes, the tolerance is hit and miss even on the factory 5 rds mags. You might need to tune those, too. Also, if you have the CA compliance SG, mags won't release unless takedown pin is pulled and slightly pivot the lower.

@jasonjaeger4042 One of the reasons I cut the springs was that when fully loaded, the mag body swelled, and mag would not drop free. After cutting the springs and making sure not to let the spring push up on the cartridge as I load each round, the mag dropped free from the pistol. I do not dismiss that following the factory instructions to make sure each cartridge is staggered helps, but that doesn't always correct malfunctions. I would like to hear back once you replace the springs. Thanks.

@redarmory the springs should be here tomorrow (it says Sunday....but never got a delivery on a Sunday before). But will definitely let ya know!

@jasonjaeger4042 I agree the red dot is not ideal, I'd prefer a lower price point and letting me pick the dot...or include the updated RomeoZero. I did not have any issues with zeroing the dot, but you are correct that the adjustment screws don't have feedback. For me, besides the occasional light strike and feeding issues before the mods, the pistol is actually fun to shoot now. Hope you get all the issues figured out.

@redarmory got the mag issue sorted but shouldn't have to when ya pay that much for a .22. When it's running smooth it's great, but still disappointed with my purchase because of all the problems I had. Should have just bought a Ruger 10/22 rifle

@reemswrld1769 email me at redarmory.academy@gmail.com but first, a few questions: 1. what mags are you using 5rds, 10rds, or 20rds? 2. have you checked on the larger capacity mag that the shells are not hanging up? 3. visually check to make sure that the slide carrier is not making contact with the side of the mag/mag lips? 4. what shells are you using? ie mfg, velocity, shots size, etc.

Yes, you are correct. The FPC mag will stick out past the bottom of the grip on the subcompact, I haven't tried but maybe you could use the spacer.

@@redarmory thank you so much!

👍It's nice to have an option for pistol and rifle besides glock.

@isiahsugar2650 It's been a while, but once you remove the split ring and remove the gas piston collar, the o-ring is inside that piece (where the gas piston slipped into).

@@redarmory ok awesome I just messaged legacy arms customer service and they are going to send me an oring and I just needed to know where it goes lol. I appreciate that

@isiahsugar2650 that's great they stepped up and are sending you the part. Just put a little lube/grease on the oring

My ready position is different than most rifle shooters where I am on the red dot at low ready and bring up the rifle and dot to the target. I found that when I was looking at the target and bringing the rifle/dot up, it was faster, with the stock being angled vs. being straight.

@@redarmory I start looking at the target, so this is helpful information. Thanks!

I am in the middle of a move, but I definitely will have a video up soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for your input, I do agree with you about making sure to do what you said before doing any mods. This is a last resort, so do it at your own risk.

As of right now, I am not aware of any mfg that is offering a direct replacement freefloat HG for it. I'll update if I do find one that will work. Thanks.

I will check to see if there's one made for the response and will get the video up. Thanks for your suggestion.

Under the plastic shim, there's a metal plate that must be removed/lifted off the HG before the HG can slip forward.

yea, because it is tightened down to a plastic cover, I don't think a torque value will be helpful. I would just blue loctite it snug and let it set in.

Yes got it. Thanks for your reply here!

It's a 22lr rifle, based on Ruger 10/22 design.

From the design of the handguard mounting location and fastener, it is not a direct swap from the TM22 to the Light. TM22 HG is held in place by a fastener to the extended portion of the top rail/cover. While in the Light, everything is held in place by a threaded barrel and nut to hold the HG to the receiver. I am sure that with minor modifications, you can get it to work, but that would negate the reason for choosing the Light version. I believe the clam shell HG can accept mlok accessories. Thanks for commenting.

@@redarmory oh okay I got ya. Thank you for the quick reply and I appreciate your detailed response as well. I've been trying to figure this out for a few days but nobody had an answer. Thanks again. And thanks for the video

@@redarmory the reason I was asking in the first place is because I like the light version, I like the stock on it and it's $100 cheaper of course, but I'm not a huge fan of the m4 style handguard. I like the AR style M-lock. And on the regular TM 22 I don't like the stock I like the one that's on the light version lol

@joem1565 I too would prefer a full-length HG on the Light version. If I come across something that might work well to swap out the clam shell, I'll post a video of it.

@@redarmory awesome man thanks! How easy is it to swap out the stock on the regular TM 22 that does have the m lock handguard? Because I'm thinking about just grabbing that one instead then. the fact that it's got an all-metal lower, already has the handguard that I want, that would probably be the smarter decision rather than have to try to alter the other one and finesse it to work with that style handguard. Either way I'll be looking out for your videos to see if you do end up finding a solution for the lite version. Thanks again for the videos and for getting back to me as quick as you did.

Congratulations Kenneth, on winning the Round-Robin portion of the match.

Nice, I think Tisas did well with this DS.

Internet myth, Brownells did smithbuster concerning that. These are not highly tune nor custom build, so I think it won't do damage the few times it happens. Appreciate your input.

All my videos of products are from my own purchase. I do not accept test product sent from the manufacturer or anyone.

Thanks for the information. That will definitely help others wanting to upgrade their Girsan.

Thanks, yea I did an ammo test when the TM22 first came out, and so far, both of the ones I have like CCI MiniMag.

Thanks for adding a comment that might help others with similar mag issues.

Thanks for your input. I hope to get better at it, still a learning curve for me.

Since fitting and replacing the failed part, the pistol is shooting fine...with that said, I haven't put enough rounds through it. I would upgrade the trigger and add an ignition kit.

@redarmory ok. Thank you for the information I will write that down and get it in my notes if I do decide to purchase that pistol

I went with the VG6 Epsilon, I have it on a few of my other AR9 PCC. I think more so for the aesthetic. To me, 9mm does have that much gas to help a whole lot. I do not have a muzzle brake/comp on my taccom xlw barrel and don't feel any different.

@@redarmory thank you!

@@redarmory Hello again, any tips on how you clamped down the barrel or upper receiver to install the VG6? There so little space especially when trying to install it on the barrel. Or did you clamp the upper receiver to a vise block? Thank you again. Love you channel!

@@paulsadventures137 I would not recommend clamping down on the receiver. I had some aluminum vice jaws covers that I used to hold the barrel in the vice. It was awkward but I manage to index the comp. The rifle was held in the vice vertically, if that make sense. Think of the cover as small v-block clamps. Hope this helps.

@@redarmory ok got it thank you

👍I am up for that.

🤣if I had a penny for every time someone noticed...it's a birthmark, hence the company name is Red "Arm"ory😜

I ended up cleaning out the threads and used red loctite, I figured I won't need to take the plate off going forward, and if I do a little heat and it will loosen up. I still use blue with the fastener for the optic itself.

@@redarmory I may have to go to this. Or just JB weld the threads hahah thanks man keep it up.

@joejohnston1776 🤣 a friend suggested I spot weld the sum-bich. Thanks

@@redarmory that’s also a viable solution. Hahaha good shit man

From what I've seen, they will fit with minor modifications to the grip module. A few areas are slightly different because of the contour, but being it's plastic, a slight sanding will blend it in. I would recommend just getting the prodigy if you like that grip more. By the time you do all that, the price will be close to the base price of the prodigy...and it would be a better pistol imo.

I acquired one of these in a trade is the only reason I'm asking. I essentially have no money in it. But I hate how cheap the module feels. I know, if you call SA, you can purchase a grip moduel for 40 dollars so I may just give it a go. Thanks for the advice!

@adamwatts14 If you decide to try and fit the grip, please come back and share your experience. Thanks.

I got the tooth and nail armory anti roll pins

@@redarmory Thank You!

@@zombeau1981 👍 anytime

I get what you are saying, but I think they had to inorder to be at the under $1k price point. Even STI had polymer grips awhile back.

@@redarmoryyou can’t actually use mjd grips ; staccato grips fit and a few others

@@redarmory yeah at some points you have to make compromises to make it affordable.. and appart from that i really considre buyin either the tisas b9r ds or the girsan witness 2311

@PeabodyGoPew That's good to know, thanks for the info. Hopefully someone will offer a direct replacement grip module for it in the foreseeable future.

@geheimspionchase8658 If the option is between the Girsan or Tisas, I'd get the Tisas over the Girsan.

No, the body of the subcompact is still the issue. Even with the extension, the baseplate lip will not allow for it to be fully inserted.

@@redarmory appreciate tge reply!

You are correct about making sure the rounds are loaded into the magazine correctly. If not, it definitely will create malfunctions. Also noticed that these magazines swell when loaded fully. Thanks.

I have limited experience with the Girsan pistol they produced. I mostly dealt with their shotgun. I agree with you, from the three I've tested recently, the Girsan was at the bottom of the list. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Hopefully, it will help others make an informed purchase.

@@redarmory I guess friends don't let friends buy Girsan's. ;<)

@@michaell397 🤣

I got the trigger from Fusion Firearms, but be aware you might need to make adjustments to the trigger bow to make it work. As for disassembly and reassembly, the process is the same as any 2011 or similar platform. I will do a video once I reach the 1k rounds mark for inspection of the parts on the pistol. Thanks.
