The front sight installation for the TX22 Competition is different than shown for the standard TX22 shown in this video. The screw with brass washer did not fit through the hole on the bottom of the slide on my TX22 Competition. I sat the screw, with brass washer attached, on the short end of the longer 1.5 mm Allen wrench, and used the Allen wrench as a "hook" to place the screw and washer through the barrel opening and into the front sight mounting hole. I then held the screw in place and gently rotated the front sight by hand onto the protruding screw until it caught a couple threads. I repositioned the Allen wrench through the hole in the bottom of the slide, and tightened the front sight screw. Regarding the rear sight, I could not remove the slotted-head hold-down screw. I applied serious torque from multiple screwdrivers, heat, and as much bad language as I could muster without success. Called Taurus CS, and they recommended that I take it to a gunsmith. Even though the rear sight assembly was obviously off center in the dovetail, and was screwed (or Loctite'd) so hard that it would not move, Taurus' only suggestion (repeatedly) was to take it to a gunsmith to remedy the poor workmanship during original assembly. My gunsmith also could not get it unscrewed, so he drilled it out and tapped in a larger screw. The new Tandemkross rear sight was then found to be so tight as to require filing and fitting to press it into the dovetail.
I also suffered the same with the rear sight I was able to break the screw loose but was really hard to and installing the new rear sight was even more difficult. I messed up the finish on the sight a bit but covered it up with a black paint marker. After an hour and a half I finally managed to get it fully seated in the groove
I purchased two tx22s at the same time, early april of 2022. Took one to the range. Mag1 shot fine. Mag2 failure to feed issues. Took the mags apart. One spring is 1.5" longer than the other. Went to clean the pistol and the rear sight had fallen off in the pistol rug. To Taurus's defense, they sent a new screw in 4 days. Curious, I grabbed the other tx22 and the screw was Loctited in like no other. I ended up destroying the rear sight to remove the screw. That is when I came across tandemkross and decided to get the Eagle Eye replacement. Not sure about why these are Hit or Miss, I hear good things about them. Seems like quality control is hit or miss. Waiting for my Eagle eye sights so I can put them on pistol #2 and see if it has less issues than the first.
Yeah I’ve had the same exact issue, and managed it get it off luckily. The amount of glue on the slide is absolutely disgusting, really disappointed in Taurus’ workmanship too. Installing the new one is a complete pain in the ass. I strongly believe the cutout on the slide is lacking the width I need for the grooves on this new rear sight. Not really sure if it’s because I have the American flag slide or what, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Working on this crap makes AR’s look like a LEGO set.
Installed as advertised. MUCH better sight than factory. Tight fit in the dovetail. Great company: thanks for a great product at a fair price. Please make a peep for volquartsen llv sights.
This video explained fully and orderly how to install the front and rear sights. In my case, the rear sight dovetails needed to be filed to bare metal to get them to fit. Thank you for the video.
Install was easy….range day tomorrow to test. Also, installed the challenger charger ring. Will try the victory trigger and extended mag release another day. Your shipping, install instructions and customer service are top notch!
Thank you for making this video and the sights. I haven't taken it to the range yet, but installation was easy thanks to the video. And it's so nice have some sight upgrades for the TX22. It's such an awesome gun in so many ways, but the sights are a weak point. The rear sight installation was as straightforward as the video suggests. Snug to get it in the grooves, for sure, but not too bad.
Thanks for this video, it's very helpful, everything went as you described. The sights and tools are excellent and I look forward to better sight groups real soon!!
I just ordered a set for one of my two Taurus TX22s. The factory sights aren't the best and hopefully these are much better. They should hold zero and not fall down like the factory rear sight does. I am hoping they are more positive clicks in adjustment as well. We shall see and I hope it goes ok.
Just finished install. Front sight was easy. Rear sight was really tight. I did get it in. Had to tap it in with a plastic dowel. Hope it is ok. Going to range tomorrow.
It should be pretty tight, so if you were able to get it in, then I'd say it's an expected amount of tightness. But thanks for letting us know, we'll be keeping an eye on them as we continue producing them to make sure everything stays within tolerances and they don't get so tight they don't fit at all.
Thank you very much for the new product and tutorial. Is there anything special that needs to be done to install the peep sight you mentioned comes with the set? Also, I prefer a Red Fiber front sight, can the Green Fiber be changed out? Lastly, it looks like the sights are Suppressor height, is that true? Thanks again! Keep up the great work and quality product builds.
The install process for the peep sight insert is similar to that of our "Eagle Eye" peep sight insert for Williams Fire Sights (the inserts themselves are basically identical). If you take a look at our video for that, you should have no trouble doing it for this sight: ruclips.net/video/gz6ZLJtXDsU/видео.html All TADNEMKROSS fiber optic sights come with an additional red light pipe that you can install if you prefer that. Last, it depends on the supressor. We haven't tested it with a huge variety of supressors, but to get the full range of adjustability we wanted, we had to make this front sight considerably taller than our previous one. So it should work with most supressors.
This sight set saved my TX22. I replaced the sights with steel sights and when tightening the rear sight screw the threads in the receiver stripped! Sure this will happen to a lot of other people also. Was about to give up on the gun then saw these sights from Tandemkross. Bought them and they work fine, are held down by two set screws instead of the screw in the middle. Easy to see the sights with the fiber-optics in them. My only complaint is on my gun the new front sight is too high. In order to get it to shoot to point of aim I have to raise the rear sight almost all the way up and it looks weird sitting that high. They could have made the front sight just a little lower unless it is just my gun.
Every TX22 we’ve sold to customers and the ones we have ourselves have shot between 5”-13” HIGH at 15 yards. A taller front sight is the norm for this gun. If yours is too tall, that mean Taurus actually built your decently.
i was just about to say something about that sears tower front sight when i read this comment, that sight is way too tall, i'm betting many have the problem you have so i'm not buying the set unless they come up with a shorter front sight. This crazy tall front sight stuff is all over the pistol industry, some 1911 pistols come with a sight so tall you run out of rear sight adjustment and have to file down the front sight, i wish they would all stop doing this shit.
Great looking little sights!! Can you tell me if these will co-witness with a red dot on the TX-22 competition model? If so I'm in!! Thanks in advance for your reply!!
We have not specifically tested this sight set with cowitnessing in mind, but Beyond Seclusion here on RUclips did a video showing the "Eagle Eye" Sight set will be roughly a lower 1/3rd cowitness with the TRUGLO TRU-TEC Micro Red Dot. Red dots with similar base thicknesses would probably work similarly. His video: ruclips.net/video/FCNOwka5U8I/видео.html
I have the 2 different Flag Editions of the TX22 and I have purchased 2 Tandemkross squared compensators and I also bought the front fiber optic for each as well. Love Tandemkross and how thoroughly consider how to make my firearms better. The only thing I regret is I ordered the front fiber optic upgrade and now I see there’s a kit to upgrade the front AND the back sights. Don’t know how I missed that, but I want to ask if it’s possible to purchase the rear sights to make the upgrade complete? Thanks
@@TANDEMKROSS I wanted to do a little follow up on the install of the Tandemkross front sight. My only reason for doing so is that it may help someone else. We are talking about items that can be retrofitted onto several different guns, so sometimes the simple things become difficult to remedy so we all could use another persons idea when you just don’t know what to do. So I have the 2 Taurus Tx22 Flag edition models. When I installed the first one, it went smooth as could be, no problems. The second one was an hour long ordeal but I finally got the solution to get er done. The factory screw going through the slide was so tight, it wouldn’t budge no matter what I did. The head of the screw is so shallow and the wrench can only be used on the longer side because of the height of the side walls on the slide. The other end of the wrench is 1/2” long so it not only sucks because it’s too low, but there’s not enough length to hold on to for any kind of leverage to turn the screw when putting the longer side into the screw head. I tried turning the sight with pliers overhead but the screw and the sight would both turn. Either the factory put too much locktite on the screw and the two were welded together, or it was cross threaded. I even tried heating it up with a blow drier thinking it would soften, no dice. Tried putting oil on the screw head maybe it would work in and loosen, nope. Ultimately I got a longer straight Allen wrench that was in one of those Allen wrench assorted plastic holders, it has wrenches on each end, that are hinged and you flip up the one you need. It gives you leverage while I held it in the screw head hole and then the wife used a pair of pliers and turned the sight and that did the trick. So you definitely need a second pair of hands when this happens. I do want to say I called Tandemkross when the problem happened and I was out of ideas. I felt stupid telling them about it but the rep assured me that it’s happened before. I asked if they had any ideas and they pretty much said to do all that I already tried to do. They are very nice people there and I know that woman felt bad about bit, so I do appreciate their efforts, after all this was not their fault. Maybe if Tandemkross sees this they might consider a different kind of wrench to send with the sight, like a mini T wrench that you can actually grip should this happen to someone else. I tried to describe the situation the best I could, hope this helps someone else
will I be able to co-witness these iron sights with Holosun 507c Acss optic? Or will they be too short like the stock iron sights, which cannot be seen through the Holosun optic.
@@TANDEMKROSS I sure will. I purchased a couple bumpers, Eagle eye Sights, sentinel spring, and speed loaders etc. basically everything for the tx22.... Thank you for being active!
I just received my upgrade kit. I have a TX22 Comp. Question #1: Is the 'Everything Kit' compatible with the Competition model? Question #2: Does your rear sight fit the slot in the slide? Mine does NOT slide in as shown in this video. I'm not going to open the packaging on the other items till I am assured of their compatibility with TX22 Competition.
Hi King! So our everything kit is more geared towards the standard model BUT the only part that will not fit will be the guide rod replacement. The rear sight may be very snug to make sure that it does not shift and lose your zero. We recommend using a rubber mallet to get it in the dovetail. As far as the guide rod goes, I'll make a note to customer service. Go ahead and give them a call, if you are running the competition you won't have a need for that part since the guide rod on the competition upper is smaller.
Question about the rear sight. How do those 2 screws hold the sight in place? Do they move an insert in the sight up against the edge of the cut-out in the slide with one pushing forward and the other to the rear? Just wondering why Tandemkross didn't use the same mounting hole that the factory sight uses?
Rear sight install was difficult. I would wait to do the front sight until you handle the rear. I sanded the rear angle corners that fit into the grooves with 1k grit just enough to get the paint off then beat the snot out of the rear sight using a nylon hammer then a nylon punch. Set screws? Lol ok I guess ill use them but really no point...but I haven't shot it yet hopefully the sight is good cus it isn't ever coming off. I noticed the piece that holds the red light rods pivots up and down ever so slightly but it stays in whichever position even if I shake the shit out of the tx22. Is this intentional? It has to be better than the OEM sights but I won't find out until lent is over but Jesus is worth giving up shooting for 40 days. I think the sights sit a little high but I hope to get a rimfire suppressor soon so maybe it all works out in the end? Please leave more comments cus its hard to find information about these new sights
@@thanhluu7932 nope. Just try not to focus on it and eventually you'll forget about it. The sights are great but the taurus tx22 barrel leaves alot to be desired. after upgrading your sights and you're still having accuracy issues, i would contact taurus for a barrel replacement. I had to. It's still not pin point accurate but it's close enough now
bro, you are like 1 of 1 rare copy with that neck beard, i fn love it. can i copy yours? i would love to see it three years later as of this time if you still have it!
Hi Gary, call our tech support at 603-369-7060 and we can walk you through how to get it in there! In rare cases depending on the dovetail from factory, the sight can be filed a tiny bit to fit a lot easier!
There aren't threaded holes in the pistol for them. The screws contact the slide and push the edge of the sight upwards against the lip of the slot that it sits in. This pressure holds it in place. We've tested it quite a bit and so far have had no issues with it slipping or anything.
This does not seem complete. I tthought there was an additional part to the rear sight. There are some cheaper sights available. The only difference I see is the heaper sights do not have the 3 tools. ? what am I missing. The price difference is , I think 75.00 for the TandemKross and the cheaoer I think I saw for 25.00?
Yeah unfortunately they are not compatible with the TX22 Compact. We list compatibility on our website and also have done a few videos explaining it, this video just came out far before the compact and still applies to the other 2 models.
You did not address the issue that the rear sight may not fit the notch that it is supposed to fit in and according to many reviews that happens a lot.
@@TANDEMKROSS That's kind of shitty. I've had your front sight on my pistol for 2 weeks and now if I want (which I do...) an adjustable rear I need purchase another one of your sites. That's a $20+ waste...
@@jdtisme9100 I'm sorry that you feel inconvenienced by it. Our original fiber optic front sight was designed to work with the non-adjustable stock rear sight. To make the rear sight adjustable at all, it has to be taller than the stock rear sight, which means the front sight has to be taller too. There just wasn't a way to achieve the range of adjustability we wanted and still be compatible with our original product.
@@TANDEMKROSS It has literally only been two weeks. I don't see why you couldn't have done a preview video or something. I would have waited and happily spent more money with you instead of spending it with a chip on my shoulder. I think you're a fantastic company and I love your products and like that you're always coming out with new things. I have many hundreds, probably thousands of dollars of your products (I have 1 trigger for my SW22, 1 of your trigger and VQ accurizing kits for MKIV 22/45 from you, 2 or 3 of the 10/22 double mag housings. A few other of your sights, 2 of your 10/22 Brimstone trigger kits, LOTS of green springs, a pair of your TX22 mag extensions, LOTS of your MKIV 22/45 mag bumpers, lots of your extractors, a few firing pins, ect. ect. ect...) I wasn't bashing you all in my 1st post. I literally said I want this new sight set also. It just seems odd to me you all wouldn't have given a heads up these were coming like you do many of your other products. I do feel that at least 50% of your customers that have bought a TX22 front sight in the last month or so probably feel like you all just wasted our $20. Is that a HUGE deal? No, but it's the little things that makes (and keeps) happy customers. Just my 2 cents, or $20 worth...haha
I could not get rear site installed on my TX22 Competition, No way its going into dovetail without grinding it down. Very unhappy with this site set up,
Hi John, unfortunately there is a lot of variance in the dovetails of the TX22 so occasionally our rear sight will require some light sanding to fit. We're happy to get the ball rolling on a refund for you though if you give us a call or email.
There aren't threaded holes in the pistol for the rear sight. The screws contact the slide and push the edge of the sight upwards against the lip of the slot that it sits in. This pressure holds it in place. We've tested it quite a bit and so far have had no issues with it slipping or anything. And we have received no customer feedback suggesting there is any issue with it over the couple of months its been on the market.
Why would you guys make a sight that has 2 retaining screws instead of a single screw to go into the original hole? Seems like a recipe for disaster to me and I'm quite sure others as well.
Just purchased a set for my G2c. I'm in my 70"s and have been repairing and building firearms for over 40 years. These sights are in my opinion total garbage. After taking my vertical mill to machine all the imperfections off the front sight so it would sit level on the slide I attached it. Before this it looked like a rocking chair on top of the slide. The rear dove tail was just as bad and after tightening the clamping screws left a very unacceptable gap. With all due respect these sights that I purchased????? Lets just say I could not with a clear conscience recommend them. Sorry....
These sight are junk The rear sight is incredibly flimsy In terms of brightness The fiber on the rear sight is dull at best This maybe the worst sight I’ve ever seen

I sanded the rear angle corners that fit into the grooves with 1k grit just enough to get the paint off then beat the snot out of the rear sight using a nylon hammer then a nylon punch. Set screws? Lol ok I guess ill use them but really no point...but I haven't shot it yet hopefully the sight is good cus it isn't ever coming off. I noticed the piece that holds the red light rods pivots up and down ever so slightly but it stays in whichever position even if I shake the shit out of the tx22. Is this intentional? It has to be better than the OEM sights but I won't find out until lent is over but Jesus is worth giving up shooting for 40 days. I think the sights sit a little high but I hope to get a rimfire suppressor soon so maybe it all works out in the end? Please leave more comments cus its hard to find information about these new sights
Same thing happens with my sight, the peice that holds the fiber optic rods rotate. Is this part of the design? If so does this effect accuracy?
@@thanhluu7932 nope. Just try not to focus on it and eventually you'll forget about it.
The sights are great but the taurus tx22 barrel leaves alot to be desired. after upgrading your sights and you're still having accuracy issues, i would contact taurus for a barrel replacement. I had to. It's still not pin point accurate but it's close enough now
Has anyone out there used these with a warlock suppressor. Or would I have to go higher. Thanks for the video.
I thought there was another part to the rear sight. That was not covered. It is my understanding it comes with the sight package.
bro, you are like 1 of 1 rare copy with that neck beard, i fn love it. can i copy yours? i would love to see it three years later as of this time if you still have it!
Is there a video with the peep sight being installed on the tx 22?
Thx William

What do I do if the rear sight does not slide into the slide cuts?
Hi Gary, call our tech support at 603-369-7060 and we can walk you through how to get it in there! In rare cases depending on the dovetail from factory, the sight can be filed a tiny bit to fit a lot easier!
Are these the same as Glock sights?
Are these tall enough to co witness a vortex venom or a cts 1250 or cts 1550
The green plastic piece in mine won't stay in and it's SO frustrating
What kind of flathead screwdriver is that?
that rear sight with the 2 screws are there threaded holes for them to be screwed in to. how does rear sight stay on
There aren't threaded holes in the pistol for them. The screws contact the slide and push the edge of the sight upwards against the lip of the slot that it sits in. This pressure holds it in place. We've tested it quite a bit and so far have had no issues with it slipping or anything.
the sights look much higher, how bad will it effect the accuracy? waiting for steel magazines for tx22
It will be just as accurate as the stock sight, as long as the rear sight is adjusted correctly.
@@TANDEMKROSS tempting as heck but 79 is way too steep for a gun that was selling for under 250 just few months ago.
Do they fit the compact model?
Unfortunately no, as the sight setup is a bit different on the compact.
This does not seem complete. I tthought there was an additional part to the rear sight. There are some cheaper sights available. The only difference I see is the heaper sights do not have the 3 tools. ? what am I missing. The price difference is , I think 75.00 for the TandemKross and the cheaoer I think I saw for 25.00?
What about installing the peep sight with this sights ?
Remove the windage screw, remove the fiber optic sight, pop the peep sight in, and replace the windage screw.
My tx22 compact is totally different both front and rear sight
Yeah unfortunately they are not compatible with the TX22 Compact. We list compatibility on our website and also have done a few videos explaining it, this video just came out far before the compact and still applies to the other 2 models.
You did not address the issue that the rear sight may not fit the notch that it is supposed to fit in and according to many reviews that happens a lot.
Will this rear sight work with your original Tandemkross front sight?
It won't, sorry. These two new sights are specifically designed to work as a pair.
@@TANDEMKROSS That's kind of shitty. I've had your front sight on my pistol for 2 weeks and now if I want (which I do...) an adjustable rear I need purchase another one of your sites. That's a $20+ waste...
@@jdtisme9100 Its not their fault you purchased a new sight 2 weeks before this came out lol. Dont be a dick.
@@jdtisme9100 I'm sorry that you feel inconvenienced by it. Our original fiber optic front sight was designed to work with the non-adjustable stock rear sight. To make the rear sight adjustable at all, it has to be taller than the stock rear sight, which means the front sight has to be taller too. There just wasn't a way to achieve the range of adjustability we wanted and still be compatible with our original product.
@@TANDEMKROSS It has literally only been two weeks. I don't see why you couldn't have done a preview video or something. I would have waited and happily spent more money with you instead of spending it with a chip on my shoulder. I think you're a fantastic company and I love your products and like that you're always coming out with new things. I have many hundreds, probably thousands of dollars of your products (I have 1 trigger for my SW22, 1 of your trigger and VQ accurizing kits for MKIV 22/45 from you, 2 or 3 of the 10/22 double mag housings. A few other of your sights, 2 of your 10/22 Brimstone trigger kits, LOTS of green springs, a pair of your TX22 mag extensions, LOTS of your MKIV 22/45 mag bumpers, lots of your extractors, a few firing pins, ect. ect. ect...) I wasn't bashing you all in my 1st post. I literally said I want this new sight set also. It just seems odd to me you all wouldn't have given a heads up these were coming like you do many of your other products. I do feel that at least 50% of your customers that have bought a TX22 front sight in the last month or so probably feel like you all just wasted our $20. Is that a HUGE deal? No, but it's the little things that makes (and keeps) happy customers. Just my 2 cents, or $20 worth...haha
I could not get rear site installed on my TX22 Competition, No way its going into dovetail without grinding it down.
Very unhappy with this site set up,
Hi John, unfortunately there is a lot of variance in the dovetails of the TX22 so occasionally our rear sight will require some light sanding to fit. We're happy to get the ball rolling on a refund for you though if you give us a call or email.
there are no holes hello for the rear sight
There aren't threaded holes in the pistol for the rear sight. The screws contact the slide and push the edge of the sight upwards against the lip of the slot that it sits in. This pressure holds it in place. We've tested it quite a bit and so far have had no issues with it slipping or anything. And we have received no customer feedback suggesting there is any issue with it over the couple of months its been on the market.
Why would you guys make a sight that has 2 retaining screws instead of a single screw to go into the original hole? Seems like a recipe for disaster to me and I'm quite sure others as well.
Just purchased a set for my G2c. I'm in my 70"s and have been repairing and building firearms for over 40 years. These sights are in my opinion total garbage. After taking my vertical mill to machine all the imperfections off the front sight so it would sit level on the slide I attached it. Before this it looked like a rocking chair on top of the slide. The rear dove tail was just as bad and after tightening the clamping screws left a very unacceptable gap. With all due respect these sights that I purchased????? Lets just say I could not with a clear conscience recommend them. Sorry....
These sight are junk
The rear sight is incredibly flimsy
In terms of brightness The fiber on the rear sight is dull at best
This maybe the worst sight I’ve ever seen
Nice.. too bad I just ordered 2 fiber optic front sights from you guys a week and half ago.
Lower the price a little 80$ steep
Too damn pricey!
This thing sits too high on the pistol, its too ugly !!!!!!!
