Taurus TX22 Review, Budget Fun or Budget JUNK?!

- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2019
- My review of the new Taurus TX22 22LR striker fired pistol. This is my experience with the gun over 900-1000 rounds as well as the issues i have with it.
![[Paris Olympics] Performance by Australia's Olympic Break-dancer Rachael Gunn breaks the internet](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i1rl1KhKIjE/mqdefault.jpg)
Update on the TX22, they found that the slide release spring was too light and just outside of tolerances. They replaced it with a stiffer spring. This solved the issue and the gun runs perfectly now. Best 22 there is by far.
Thanks for the update. I wonder if they will go ahead and replace it for anyone who runs into the same problem? It certainly looks great and I think it’s my next 22.
Good to hear! You might want to add an update right up there at the top so people know you figured out the problem and it's been fixed without them having to read through all the comments...
Seriously?
I wish u would've made this video after u got it fixed
I'm gonna need them to do same for me...
That's crazy. I've ran about a thousand rounds with no problem. Love it. Need to apologise to my other guns since they aren't getting fired.
Haaaaa
I feel ya bro.... My other guns are resting right now. lol
I am thinking about to get one. Two people i know have the same gun and they went through thousands of rounds of bulk ammo without any problems. No issues at all.
Jon Snow I am closing in on 1000 rounds with no issues. But I am keeping a close eye on mine.
Just ordered one...you are the only video I’ve seen with a issue, but thanx for being honest.👍🏻
Get mine soon $290.00
My brother just picked one up. We ran over a 1000 rounds through it without a single failure.
Yours is the only issue that I've seen with this gun.... Mine has been perfection, with every type of ammo. Almost 1,000 rounds, ZERO PROBLEMS!! I love everything about mine. Especially the trigger reset. Wow. Mine has a crisp break, at just over 4lbs. Glad you posted this... Hate your luck, with such an outstanding gun.
Over 2000 rounds, I had 3 ammo related problems. I absolutely love this gun.
I put 150 through mine today straight out of the box, like butter...
That sucks your 22 is doing that. I've literally put several thousand rounds through mine with only 1 failure to fire. This is truly my new favorite gun. I owe several apologies to my Glocks.
Ya it's a buzz kill for sure, especially when I send it back to Taurus and they don't believe me it's broken.
Other than that, this thing has crazy potential, I don't blame you for loving it! It's almost epic
This is the 1st video I've seen about problems with this model pistol.I just bought one last weekend,haven't shot it yet but I'll sure be paying attention to these things.And thanks for putting the problem on video as it happens,very helpful.
Definitely man, thanks for the comment. Hopefully a lot of people, including Taurus see the video so they can fix the problem.
The gun has so much potential
I had the same problem with the slide stop engaging partway through shooting a full magazine. After putting a lot of oil in and around the slide stop, and using a lot of oil elsewhere, the problem went away. Good luck.
Oh really? I'll see if I can replicate that. Although, that's a bandaid for a problem if you need to oil it a lot.
Possibly a tolerance issue going on and something is too tight
I knew someday my crappy grip would be an asset!! :D But seriously - bummer that you're having these issues. I'm early into mine (~300 rounds) and it has been not only flawless but fun. You provided great info here, well done. I think we are in complete agreement on the nice attributes of this pistol. Could be a 'best in class' if they can manage their QC.
Haha! Hey man, thank you for the comment. Big fan of your channel.
My suspicion was that holding the frame very stable was sending the impulse through the slide stop just enough to get it to catch sometimes. I spoke to their senior engineer and he agreed. He said my spring was on the low end of the tolerances so he replaced it with one on the higher end and wants me to see if that fixes it.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 I hope that works for you.
OOH, so many positive youtube reviews of this tauras I finally purchased mine 7/5/19 and was totally excited for this gun finally got the chance to get out and start putting some rounds down range, yeah.... ¡¡NO BUENO!! Mine, and mine only must have come with a gremlin My gun kept malfunctioning, slide kept locking back after litterally 2nd round fired, slide just kept locking back took the clip out tried again, tried the other clip, thinking it was ammo (using walmart winchester M-22) I swapped the ammo out to (walmart again, remmington thunderbolt) still kept getting slide lock, also tried (more walmart winchester super X) still same problem thinking it was me or just needed to be better cleaned and lubed, did that, cleaned it and lubed, basic field strip, still same problem thinking it was maybe my hand catching on the slide lock I fired one handed left hand making sure I wasn't putting my hand on the slide lock still same problem bout 200rnds into it of test firing, I started to notice that the gun slide was not going all the way into battery (maybe because of carbon/lead fouling) eventually I started getting FTF soft rim strikes long story short I sent it to the manufacture, I was told 12 week turn around😥😥😥😥😥 I did however get it back a week later👍👍. The paperwork shows replaced barrel, replaced firing pin, replaced slide spring. I havent quite got the chance to fire it yet but I sure hope its fixed and becomes my favorite new toy thanx for posting this video I was thinking I was the only one with a bad gun and that it was just a bad fluke on my taurus
my problems also -you got bad magazines . i bought spare mag
with the gun ,and substituting it would make the gun run . got a bad barrel
also that leads up so bad you can`t see the rifling . sent it back to taurus ,
been there 5 weeks so far . taurus `lifetime guarantee `means it will
take your lifetime to get it fixed . they have had it twice as long now as i have
owned it . should have spent a little more and got a glock 44.- good luck with yours ------------
Did you ever find a fix for the slide locking back with rounds in the mag? Just purchased one of these 3 weeks ago and it is doing the same thing, locking back with rounds still in the mag. Please help
@@user-kx9rb8vy8l I sent it back to Tauras, explained to them in detail my problem and they actually had to replace the whole gun. I wasn't happy bout that, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it back. Its now my favorite for practice. best of luck
Could you possibly be pressing down on the slide take down lever with your left thumb?
Nope, tested that. And that wouldn't make the slide lock back either.
I don’t know ?? So far I haven’t heard anything bad about this Until now
I want one of these. Keep us updated on the Taurus customer service. Thanks
I was in contact with them and they agreed the slide stop lever spring might be too light so they are replacing it with a stronger one and seeing if that fixes the issue
Best 22 ever, I have 2. My sons love them 3,000 rds no issues
Ok I don't know how I missed this video. It even seems that I left a comment at some point??? The crazy thing is that I could have made the very same video. I actually had the very same problem. My slide would lock back on almost every round. More and less often with different types of ammo. I actually had to send it in twice before it was fixed. The first time all they did was replace the barrel and the locking slide problem was not fixed. The second time I sent it in, they returned it with a work order that said "NPF" (no problem found) yet they seem to have replaced the slide stop spring, because the problem seems to be fixed. It works great now. I absolutely love the little gun even though it was VERY AGGRAVATING at first trying to get it fixed.
I hope you see this comment because this the VERY SAME problem I had , even worse, and now it seems to be 100% fixed.
AS far as my comment before, all I can figure is that I was watching videos on this gun and that comment was meant for another video. As you can see the comment would have been much different if I had actually seen YOUR video. Good luck with customer service at Taurus. It isn't their strong point by any means. Maybe you could just order the spring and put it in yourself. That was my plan if they didn't fix it the second time.
Damn! I guess I should have read your pinned comment before I wrote all that. Oh well, glad it was figured out. looking at the time frame, they may have even fixed yours before mine.
It's really late and I'm typing comments...I should be more careful. LOL
A guy on one of my videos mentioned having the same problem with the slide locking back without mag being empty. I just asked him if he had found a fix. Great video!
thanks man, ya its weird. i'm back in contact with taurus.. we'll see if they have anything more to say after this video. its a buzz kill for sure
Made over 1000 rounds this weekend with mine, the only trouble was with the golden bullet (once). With any fire arm we should check it before your fire it to include screws. I agree with the lemon theory. I forget that it is a .22 as it shoots magazine after magazine without failure.
I have about 500 rds out of mine, no problems! I love it. Yours is the only one with a problem I’ve seen. Best 22 pistol I’ve ever shot. I dont even care to shoot my Ruger Sr22 anymore. Maybe you got a dud but all reviews I’ve seen have been great! Hope you figure yours out. But you seem to think all TX22s are having these problems but I just haven’t seen it at all.
from talking to other people who own them and even looking at comments on this channel, it is a recurring problem with the tx22 so its not just mine. im assuming its a tolerance issue but you also need a certain grip for the failure to occur as well. glad you dont experience it, its a great gun otherwise.
Just got one for Christmas. Out of the box had zero issues. After cleaning and lubing I had many many failures to extract. I cleaned and lubed again after shooting and still have the same issue. I've tried about 6 types of amko including vi. I really like the ergonomics , feel, and function. It is very well designed. When I rapid fire I have less issues. I seem to have more issues during slow shooting/sighting. Being prior military and LEO I really doubt that it's my grip. Gotta give Taurus a call
Typos: ammo not amko
Cci not v
Did you put lube on or around the extractor or chamber?
@@maximusjoseppi5904 all metal parts. A very light coating
@@enriqueacosta1235 ya, you're causing the malfunctions by lubing stuff you shouldn't be.
You only lube contact and wear points. So the barrel, slide rails, and a little bit in the trigger mechanism.
Never put any lube near or around the chamber or extractor or firing pin or where the case seats on the slide. There's your problem
@@enriqueacosta1235 I have thousands of rounds through this thing now.. I never clean it or lube it.. I've cleaned it once haha.
Use a good spray degreaser like break free clean and get all that lube off your gun. Just put a tiny bit on the outside of the barrel and rails.
Clean it once every thousand rounds or so
My Spectrum started doing a Slide Lock Back after estimated 110 rounds. Story is - had Fail To Fire out of the box and I messed with that for like 52 rounds before sending it in. 8 weeks later got it back and that is fixed (most part - had 2 Fail To Fire out of a 68 round test).
Then next time out -- had 40 to 50% Slide Lock Back for 26 rounds. Messed with that and and same thing basically next time out 26 rounds. I did not realize it was a Slide Lock back (though just a Fail to Feed) until I went out again (shot 10 rounds before the first Slide Lock back).
Then i taped the Slide Lock Back Lever down so it would not lock back and no Slide Lock Back with the tape on until the Mag was empty. I made an observation that the Slide Lock Back Lever seems to have "little or no" SPRING PRESSURE to hold it down.
I also have noted that if a bullet is moved FWD (say less than 1/8 inch) from rear of the MAG that it will push the Inner Tab up and could cause a Slide Lock Back while the slide is cycling and the next bullet moves up in the MAG. However, that was not the case in the Last and I suspect other Lock Backs I had as when I removed the MAG the bullet was at the rear of the MAG and would not be able to touch the Inner Tab (there is very little clearance between the bullet and that TAB as the Bullet rises in the MAG).
I suspect the "Bullet and Inner Tab" interference is not an issue on a full size gun like the TX22, but the Spectrum is a MINI 380.
I sent it in to TAURUS April 2.
Check the slide stop yourself and see if its a bad spring with too much tension on if so bend it slightly if not the opposite too much tension or the spring its not resting in the groove its supposed to go; maybe. I'm pretty sure the just shot the gun when it went in for warranty and didn't take it apart.
This is the best gun made right now. I LOVE MINE!!!! I can't say enough about it.
Yea it is! Lol.
This is straight out fun to shoot. I bought mine Monday. Already fired nearly 500 rounds.
Ive used only cci hi velocity hollow points and 40 grain ball thus far and have experienced no malfunctions of any kind. The first mag was fired straight from the box. Thrn I cleaned and lubed it.
Almost every video on RUclips about this pistol the op is grinning the whole time. These things are a blast to shoot. Literally and figuratively.
I run cci ammo exclusively in all of my 22 pistols. Tomorrow I'll run some hyper velocity stingers and velicitorsand I have no doubt they'll run flawlessly in the TX taurus.
This thing is so light I've carried it concealed while openly carrying my Taurus G2c 9mm. Love that one too.
Mjc
Purchased one yesterday shot it today 400 rounds zero issues honestly blew my mind really fun gun to shoot!! Fuck lcp 22 junk
I fixed mine by bending the tab that rests on the loaded magazine on the slide stop arm up slightly. It no longer sits on a loaded magazine which moved and pushed up on the arm during recoil. I shot 200 rounds with no partial mag lock backs
Within the past hour ran the first 400 rounds of CCI MiniMags and Aguila Super Extra thru my TX22. No failures. I did clean and lube prior to its first trip to the range. Most fun I've had at the range in a long time. Accurate at ten yards too.
Just got home with my TX22. No rounds through it yet but have fired a friends, that's what sold me on it. Question, I also have a Ruger SR22 which in the manual it does say you can dry fire it, the Taurus does not say one way or other. Anyone know? I've always been instructed never dry fire a .22 With my other center fires I would watch tv and just work the hell out of the trigger.
you can dry fire it
@@maximusjoseppi5904 I talked with Taurus tech support yesterday. Outside of pulling the trigger for take down, They do not recommend dry firing. Who are you and why do you say it's ok? You a gunsmith? Taurus rep? Dry fire all you want, it's your gun...
What run your thumb up on the slide and it'll quit doing that I have had no problem with my Tauros TX 22 looking at your video real close you had your thumb on the slide
I didn't have my thumb against the slide but if I did, that could never cause it to lock back early. The only malfunctions that could cause would be failures in the action. Failure to eject, failure to feed, etc. Of which I had zero 👍🏻
you couldnt have been watching too closely though haha, my thumbs arent even near the slide.
It was your pinky 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@jimmysapien9961 I don't have anything near the slide. The gun is out of spec haha.
It is interesting that it only happened with a tight grip. It’s like squeezing the gun is somehow causing the spring to be allowed to sneak upwards.
I wonder if you could take the slide off, squeeze the frame and see if it warps at all? I know I can crush a polymer grip with no mag in the gun, but some guns bend more than others.
You seem to have large hands and long fingers, so I figured you were hitting it until you showed that angle and it was clear you weren’t. And cleaning has nothing to do with slide stops.
One last thing: I haven’t seen one for under $290 yet. Online prices, which are usually the cheapest, are $290-$309. My LGS wanted $349, and would only come down $10 since it’s just out. At $260, I’m going to get one. I have smaller, “presidential” hands (big palms, stubby nub fingers), but I tend to grip guns tightly. Now I’m a bit nervous.
my guess was that stabilizing the frame to a high extent was sending the recoil impulse into the slide stop and the spring was too light.
their engineer called and that was his guess so far as well. i believe its on its way back, we shall see!
If you're not run your thumb on the slide like I said earlier then you hitting the magazine release button and causing the magazine to drop just a little bit where it will hold the slide open
He better take your guns out and give them a little bit of lovin or they're going to get mad at you and quit working totally on you and seized up LOL
I wasn't hitting the magazine release button either. I tested that by purposefully hitting the mag release while shooting.
The gun is broken, it has nothing to do with me. I've already spoken to Taurus' senior engineer.
LOL. The mag release wouldn't make the slide lock back. Do you have any idea how firearms function? The follower pushes the slide lock tab UP, after the mag is empty. THAT'S how it works on EVERY firearm. Plus, this gun doesn't have a magazine disconnect, that makes the gun not fire, without a magazine in it. Get your gun out, and watch how things work in it. It's very helpful...
I almost just spent way too much on a Walther22. So glad I did not buy it! This thing is the s*** and I spent that extra money on Emma
Almost ordered one. Thanks. Only other Taurus I had was their 709 ' Slim'. Sent in twice, with both mags. NPF. FTF, FTE all the time. Finally gave it away via legal transfer but warned neighbor about it.
Do you like it?
My tx22 has been great. Most 22 pistols are finicky but my tx22 even cycles the crappy bulk ammo that most dont.
Hey MJ. Great job. Good info. Let us know if Taurus comes through with a fix. Can’t wait to get one.
He did say he took it straight from the store to the range. I assume that you probably did not clean it. Sometimes that oil that comes from the factory is not that great. Great video! Not too technical. Love it! Keep shooting my guy!
It was over multiple range sessions, wasn't because it was dirty.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 ok cool
And I do agree. It would be a great 9 mm !! I'd buy it !
Too much plastic for a 9
I had same issue with mine I just picked up a few weeks ago. I was shooting Cascade and was 1250fps.
I did notice that the rounds had a lot of wax. So I actually cleaned 200 rounds and tried it again and had only 3 or 4 locks out of those 200 rounds.
I ran cci mini mags, federal auto match, and thunderbolts and runs smooth. I have about 500 rounds of the cascade left. Gonna burn through those and stick to the ones I mentioned above when possible.
Funny how this gun smokes The G44 as far as being reliable with various types of ammo.
Yes, it's never failed no matter what I've put in it
Outstanding review. Thanks.
They have to put a chamber indicator on it if they decide to make it in 9mm caliber or its a no deal for me.
Sent mine back with the same problem. Came back still not fixed. I filed the slide stop a little and haven't had a problem since
oh nice.. sucks they didnt get it running but its such a great gun otherwise.
Thanks for the warning on the issues your haven. Just went to the range yesterday for the 1st time with mine. Ran fine except for the 2 subsonics i accidentlly got mixed in with my LRs. Didnt eject, no surprise. Looks like a defect slipped thru. To bad you got it thats usually my luck .
Ya, the slide release spring was under spec
I have TX22 and G44. Also Ruger SR22. Several hundred rounds through each and had NO problems.
How is it reliable when you stated it's not chambering the chamber?not only reliable you said 💯 percent reliable?
This is easily the BEST .22LR pistol on the market!! I'm hoping that they release a 9MM version of the TX22! I'd buy in an instant!!
I love my TX22, put 300 rounds through it straight out the box an only had one FTF, of course the only time I decided to take a video lol. Fun little gun
Taurus has a track record of ' gold or garbage '. Had Slim 709, much lauded by reviewers. Couldn't get it through a whole magazine. Many, many FTEs. Sent back twice. Came back twice, NPF. Finally transfered.to acquaintance who is armorer for regional police agency. Same problem as I had. You could send Taurus a dead squirrel and they would send it back NPF.
Love mine and doesn't have your issues altho it does seem to hate Remington Thunderbolt. Otherwise runs pretty great on every other ammo I've tried. Agree that the sight screws need to be checked (I loctited mine). Also agree about the terrific trigger. They should put it in the G2C... And yep, the ergos are maybe the best of any of my stock handguns - for my grip anyway. I'd be all over an up calibered version - a 9mm or .40 would be an instant buy from me. Oh, I hate the cheap plastic mags. Really wish they were metal.
Really? Mine ran 300 rounds of thunder without an issue.
The plastic mags are just more effecient for 22. Here's a trick if you haven't figured it out already, don't use the tabs on the sides, load it kinda like a regular 9mm magazine, much easier and quicker. There's a little v ramp you'll notice where you push the case down.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 Go figure. The thunder issue may be a mag issue. I need to double check that but I don't think it is. Funny how each gun had its own personality. I have started to load the mags with just a slight assist from the tabs as a load each round. Next time I'm out at the range I'll try tabless and see what happens - thanks!
Mine works perfectly fine.
i have 2 of them and no issues at all from either
If you hold it to high you'll hit the slide catch on recoil is what I have seen in a review.
Didn't make it thru the music. I have the tx 22 with five thousand rounds with zero malfunctions.
Peace.
MJC
would you like a cookie? haha
@@maximusjoseppi5904
You tell me..
It may be the pressor on the slide release where your thumb is sitting that may be causing it to lock back,during the recoil thats causing it to slide lock back after firing when you use to hands. Just an idea after watching the video,of you shooting,that after you fire your thumb is firmily pressing aganist where the your slide take down is.Just and idea
Nope, that wasn't it.
For the slide stop issue, isn't the stop engaged by the ledge on the front of Mag?
If so is it possible one of the rounds is moving forward a bit and engages the slide lock as if the mag was empty?
Have any of you that have purchased this pistol had any fouling in the barrel? My vote goes to JUNK. Barrel fouls too much. I use the copper plated Winchester hollow points. I will admit it is not as bad when I first shot the gun. I take a pistol barrel cleaning brush to the range every time I shoot this gun. Run a few mags then run the brush down the barrel. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem?
I never clean this gun and it runs perfect with the cheapest ammo at Walmart
wimpy slide stop spring !!!!!
Wish they would put this trigger in the g2c.
S&W MP 22 is only $349 I would rather buy that
Bro, I can close a captain of crush gripper #3 for reps. I can pinch grip 3-45lbs. Weight plates. I have a strong grip. I shot the gun today, from the store to the range. Zero issues.
well for starters, its not how hard you can squeeze a gun that makes a grip good or not, its where you put pressure haha. your grip strength has almost nothing to do with controlling recoil, its in the biomechanics of your arms and wrists and their orientation. youre creating a vice, not squeezing.
that being said, my gun had a defective slide stop spring. it was too light allowing it to jump independently when the pistol was held steady.
Looks like you got the occasional 🍋 Lemon! I have seen it in the military once. 39 of us had a gun each, issued and one of the guys guns would malfunction constantly while the rest of us had 0 proplems!
Did it come with the thread adapter
I changed out my sights on my tx22 and I could barely get them off cuz they put some kinda thread locker on it from taurus I just bought mine tho.
Is the problem occurring with all types of ammo and have you had another person shoot it?
You'll get it going and the joy will be there
Good review, I have seen many videos about TX22 and almost everyone says the same thing, not using silver bullets. even in the G2 and G3 only brass.
Seems like you're riding the slide. I have 'a correct grip' and my tx22 doesn't do this.
My hands are no where near the slide. However, if they were, that couldn't cause the slide to lock back, it would cause failures to extract or failures to feed.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 have you tried gingerly holding the firearm to emulate the same issue? How much force are you applying? If you can confirm same issue by not riding slide, ask taurus for new slide lock assembly. I look forward to the resolution video.
@@duroisgawd I mentioned all this stuff in the video. It has nothing to do with anything I'm doing to the firearm.
I'm already in contact with their lead engineer and the gun is faulty.
@@maximusjoseppi5904Keep us abreast. Mine works and so do several others out there in the wild.
Check to see if the side of the cartridge might be grazing the slide stop, as it's coming up out of the mag, to be loaded. That would be an easy fix... Just a suggestion.
Wow, I haven't had any problems wit mine, but always clean mine before I go to the range.
Sorry to hear that happened.
What kind of ammo were you using when the slide kept locking back?
Every kind
Mine did it too until I quit hitting the slide stop
I see your thumb is clear of the slide release, and that's strange for the slide to lock back like that. I have ran about 200 rounds through mine that I just got last week and zero issues so far. They should replace your gun altogether in my opinion. Hope it works out for you.
Maybe you are squeezing the grip too hard and the mechanism is binding up. I haven't had any trouble with mine.
No, was a defective gun. Some had trouble, some didn't
@@maximusjoseppi5904 whatever dude. Just trying to offer a potential explanation.
@@adamtimmins3035 And I'm giving you the actual explanation haha.
Most people like to know
I like the blue lock tight It eliminates the need to stock expensive lock nut lol In my gun tool box
Thanks for this video... I've been really looking at getting this over the Walter P22. Any updates on the cause or if this is a widespread issue?
Defective slide stop spring, works great after they changed it
I think they've gotten better
I have never had an issue even after 2 buckets of golden
Amazing fun and accurate gun with junk magazines. sights should have been steel also but they're not show stopper.
This gun is awesome!!! I love it.
Good video, thanks man!
I just got it and it's so much fun.
You know they are going to make it in 9mm.
They would be insane not to do it.
I actually kind of doubt it.. if so, why would they release the g3. Hope I'm wrong though!
Have one run 500 rounds . No miss fire no hangups.
I put around 900 through mine no probs. 25 year old ammo too
It'd be nice to have a half by 28 Barrel without an adapter that would knock it out of the ballpark 4 suppressor use
Well I have seen it works perfectly fine for a silencer, so consider it knocked out of the park!
I'm still waiting on mine to get out of jail.. 7 months now 🙄
They should call the 9 mm version the tx9
superglue deactivate the slide catch
mine doesn't do that. And I hold it just like any of my other pistols. I actually really love mine.
Awesome! It's a fun gun.
Seems the spring, or whatever mechanism holds the slide stop up, is not tight enough, or there's some play in it to have the not re-engage like it should after a shot fires and a round is fed...
Well it's the opposite, the spring holds it down, but that was my suggestion to them as well. I think the spring might be too light and the recoil impulse is getting sent into it popping it up enough to catch the slide.
Their engineer thinks so as well and it's on the way back with a stronger spring. We shall see
@@maximusjoseppi5904 let us know. I've had my eye on this one and every other review I've seen has been positive. Take care!
@@ssjoyce I'll do an update video after another 1k
No problems with mine yet.
Hickock45 fired 600 rounds thru a Ruger sp22, including a box of dirty nasty tracers and it never jammed or broke once. The Taurus is cheap, but so what?
Your left hand is on the mag release!
No, it's not. I tested that theory by shooting with my thumb on it on purpose at different pressures.
You’re probably not, but is there any chance your grip (thumb of weak hand) could be depressing the disassembly latch?
Nope, tested that, but that also wouldn't cause this malfunction.
Maximus Joseppi yea I hear ya. I just purchased one of these last night, went to the range this morning. Only put 100 rounds through it, but I didn’t have any issues. Sorry to hear (and see) the troubles you’ve had.
@@Tylermaisey the Taurus engineer suspects it's an out of spec (too light) slide stop spring, I have not got it back yet though.
Glad yours is working well!
Needs an updated video. Keep it up.
It was a defective slide stop spring, works great after they changed it.
I might do a video on it suppressed in the future
Just shot my first rounds through mine today w/ the wife. When she shot it, it worked flawless. When I shot it, the damn thing locked back every other shot w/ a full mag. I don't get it either....
Probably going to have to send mine back too
sig QC haha...
Did you ever get this problem fixed. I just bought a tx22 about three weeks ago and it's doing the same thing. Please help
Tape the slide stop down and shoot it?
It was a defective slide stop spring, they changed it and it works great now
Ever get the issues with your TX-22 figured out?
yes, they had to replace the slide release spring, it was out of spec and very light.
Joseppi - Have you had someone with smaller hands fire the weapon? Maybe the bottom of your pinky is pushing down on the magazine.
I wasn't hitting the magazine release button. I tested that by purposefully hitting the mag release with different pressures while shooting.
having someone else shoot the weapon doesn't troubleshoot the problem when i can clearly demonstrate there is no human error.
The gun is broken, it has nothing to do with me. I've been in contact with Taurus' senior engineer.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 Thanks Joseppi, but I wasn't referring to the mag release. I was referring to the actual magazine itself. I have caused a F2F myself by accidentally applying downward pressure to the magazine.
@@seanjustinification oh, no, that's not happening.
The mag release is moving when it's not supposed to. my hands aren't applying any pressure to the magazine itself
If that's happening to you, whatever gun you're using is pretty faulty or the mag is. Magazines are designed with pinky grooves intended to have leverage put on them. Touching your magazine shouldn't effect your firearms performance
@@maximusjoseppi5904 Thanks again. Yeah, the mags suck. A lot of people have complained about them. I'm buying new ones.
Can’t run a 9mm suppressor on it. Diff thread pitch.
Haha, no it doesn't have a different thread. It's 1/2-28, like pretty much every single 9mm can on the market.
So yes, you can use them.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 my bad. I was thinking rifle threads. Carry on.
If a grip malfunctions a gun it can’t be a good one
you must be new to guns. the gun was defective kiddo
Drew, then you haven't "LIMP WRISTED" a GLOCK then --have ya? Does that make them a BAD ONE?
how much does it cost in US?
I paid 260.. so between 250 and 300 is typical I'd say
I paid 310 a week ago.
@@maximusjoseppi5904 LOL, I am loaded.
i paid 300$ at academy outdoors 3 days ago...MSRP is 349$ but i've never seen one advertised at that price...
Sounds like a magazine & or ammo problem, 22lr is a dirty round. It's amazing that no one @ Taurus knows troubleshooting!
