I just installed this trigger on my TX22 and it is really nice. While I had the gun apart I also installed a tandemcross lightened trigger spring, and the combo together is awesome. Thanks for the great product.
There are several noteworthy upgrades for the TX22. The Tandemkross magazine extensions and front sight. The Lakeline sights and guide rod. There is only one upgrade that is a GAME CHANGER and a MUST for every TX22. The Keep Tinkering trigger. It is incredible. Whoever reads this comment - do yourself a favor and get this trigger. You want it, you need it, you crave it. Buy it right now! :-)
Wow!! Absolute game changer!! Straight off the block and the difference is night and day!! This is my 2nd KT upgrade (G3C) and I can't recommend it enough!! Ty!!
Added this Trigger to my TX22 Competition. I had a few problems installing the Short Throw Trigger as the biggest issue was the pins in the TX22 are very tight. It was extremely hard to disassemble the Taurus trigger. Informative video, trigger is working well in my gun. It took me about 90 minutes from start to finish with all the proper tools. Thanks for the terrific trigger for my gun!
Thanks! I am glad you like it, and I really appreciate the feedback! As far as the tight pins go I am not exactly sure why that happens but it seems like maybe 1-3% of Taurus guns have just incredibly hard to remove pins, where they are not just a little harder to get out, but like 3 or 4 times as hard, I dont know if maybe one guy in their assembly team uses red locktite on the pins or what. I have a set of short starter punches for just this issue I brake out several times a year. Sadly I dont really have any idea why this is or what to do about it other than get a short starter punch, a really stable surface, and give it the business, which does take some extra effort but has always worked for me.
Honestly for such a simple piece it's excellent. They should get with you and pay you alot of money and start using this as a factory trigger. I will be buying it for sure
This is incredible! I cannot wait for the trigger to appear, so I can order it together with one for the G3C. I was already a subscriber, so the only thing left to click (and well deserved!) was the like button.
If you wanna order one now, you can just go to my website and order any of my $30 triggers, and leave me a note saying you want the TX22 Trigger instead, I will get an actual order page up for it probably this weekend.
On my gun the top of the finger the holds the trigger spring hits the metal block above and sanding the trigger didn’t work. I took a needle nose pliers and bent the hook at the end of the trigger bar out a little and now it works fine. I essentially made the trigger bar longer from tip to tip. Little disappointed with tech support from seller but maybe he has a family emergency or such. I just wanted to get my Tx up and running since I shoot it twice a week
@@brandonprice0510 I actually have a handful of flat faced ones that bring the trigger face forward a bit from my normal TX22 triggers. I liked the curved style better so I never offered the flat faced one, but if you want one you can order a normal TX22 trigger from me then put in the notes you want a flat faced and I will send you one.
had to pull out this trigger nd put stock one back and now the gun runs fine. just ran 120 rounds and had two jam with mini mag and 1 stovepipe with cci standard , mush better. The Aguila extra ran perfect
I had a slight issue with my trigger when I first installed it where it would not fire if the trigger was pulled at an angle. Emailed Keep Tinkering and had a solution within an hour. Everything functions well now.
Glad to hear it is working correctly now Jacob! Some of these guns do need just a hair more overtravel to work correctly with my triggers, but it is a pretty quick fix.
Taurus stock tigger is fine. I wouldn’t fix something if it isn’t broke. I ordered this trigger and yes it felt great while dry firing. Unfortunately after about 2 magazines of test firing, my gun now only fires if I pull the trigger back at an angle. Worked perfect before, now I have issues. Wish I woulda just left it all alone…
I sent you an email as well, but this just means the trigger isnt coming back QUITE far enough to reliably release, which is a pretty easy issue to fix. First give the trigger a good hard squeeze to completely settle everything, if that doesnt completely resolve the issue, you can slightly trim the areas in the pics attached to the email I sent you. Just let me know if you need any further assistance.
@@KeepTinkering ok u win, did as u said and took it to the range. It’s back to amazing. Put 200 rounds thru my tx22 comp w out a malfunction and trigger is dialed. Thanks!
My TX22 came with a 4.5lb trigger pull. I carefully honed the striker contact to sear surface and it's now at just over 3lbs. I'm going to replace the trigger with yours and try a lighter trigger spring.
I followed the Tandemkross method of prying out the trigger bar instead of pulling the pin. That ended up tweaking the trigger bar a little making the trigger not work if pulled at the wrong angle. I had to dissemble everything and re-tweak the trigger bar to get the striker release linkage that the trigger bar lifts to fire the striker reliably. I would recommend not taking the Tandemkross prying shortcut and remove the pin from the factory trigger. I am happy with the "Keep Tinkering" TX22 trigger upgrade and think it is better than the Tandemkross trigger as the flat faced aluminum trigger doesn't fits the aesthetics of the TX22. Plus I don't really want to deal with extra set screws for adjustment of the other trigger.
I've installed the trigger following your video step by step. (GREAT VIDEO) The trigger will only fire if I put pressure on the right side, and I can't seem to figure out why. Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
Yes, it sounds like your trigger is just not coming back quite far enough, shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I will give you directions and some pictures on how to dial it in.
Had to correct my comment and just say that now I am very happy with the trigger. I got an email from Keeptinkering with pics on where to cut to increase overtravel and it worked great in both gun. If you are having the same issues with hard trigger pull or not going off shoot him an email and he'll get you hooked up. I think there should be instruction sent when he sends out the triggers to save a headache.
Darrell, it sounds like your gun needs a bit more overtravel, shoot me an email and I will send you some pictures and directions of what to trim on the trigger to dial it in.
@@KeepTinkering Thanks, I did as instructed and both guns work great. You may want to edit your video to show how to do it or put instructions in the package.
With so many Ruger security 9 owners out there, any thoughts on a trigger from you? I’m not very happy with the Galloway version (apparently I’m not the only one). The safety catches if your not perfectly lined up to pull. Considering removing the trig safety to see if it gets better.
Yes. Any side to side pressure WILL lock it up (and I mean ANY). A shorter trigger stroke and reset along with a better feel than the factory (similar to the G2C). It’s not awful but needs work.
They are really just differences in preference. The Tandemkross trigger is more expensive and adjustable, but you have to take the gun apart to do the adjustments. My trigger is cheaper and a drop in version, I have put a lot of effort into taking out as much pretravel and overtravel as possible so that it works with about 95% of these guns perfectly with no modifications needed. So if you are the kind of person who wants to do one disassembly cycle and have it work great, my trigger is a good option. If you are ok with taking the gun apart 5-10 times to adjust the trigger pretravel and over travel for your particular gun the Tandemkross might be more your speed. I will say that you better be sure you really like flat faced triggers though if you order the Tandemkross, from what I have seen the edges are pretty aggressive, and I know if I made one of my triggers with edges that sharp I would get a lot of people coming back with complaints about it, so make sure you know what you are getting into.
I have them available now, I just need to get a post up for them on my website and on ebay. If you want to order one before that you can order any of my $30 triggers and just put in the note at checkout that you want the TX22 trigger.
Do this reduce the reach at all. I have a TX22 for my 10yr old and it is tough to reach it. Plus this would make him a Trigger snob. Haha. He already is and loves shooting my CZ’s.
Btw that trigger return spring reminds me very much of the one inside the sear cage of the Caniks. Instead of trying to find a good match inside of a box of random springs, can you please add a reduced one to your website? It would be the killer racing makeover kit for TX22 combined with this trigger.
Honestly that is a pretty light spring already, and I wouldnt want to run into return or reset issues. I would suggest trying with the trigger alone and see how you like it.
I recieved my TX22 trigger last week and was quite excited by the look and feel. However I am having some significant fitment issues and have sent 2 email that have gone unanswered. Please reach out so I can fix this issue. Thanks! I'm excited to get this working as I can tell once it is functioning properly it will be a hige upgrade. Cheers
I actually have one I use with steel guns, but with polymer stuff you REALLY have to miss hard to leave a permanent dent, even with a steel hammer, as long as the hammer is flat faced. Plus I find the slightly larger/heavier steel hammer give me a bit more control.
It would not matter how any firearm is made or what it cost to make it and someone will not like it and they will change it.I guess I’m very flexible and know how to adjust and I can shoot just about any gun pretty well no matter what trigger it has or what sites are on it.I just leave them as they come from the factory other than adding a scope to my Squirrel and Deer rifles.
I think some people are more inclined to change things to fit them than others are. That was actually why I went with the "Tinkering" theme, to identify that way, as that was what my family used to call it. There is nothing wrong with either approach in my opinion, it is just a different way to view things.
yours look easier to install than the victory, no need for adjustments, but victory looks better. i hope youll make a design with a flat skeletonized face.
I totally get why flat triggers are nice with a 1911 style trigger that has guides and slides straight back, because anywhere you press on the trigger gives you the same result. With guns that have a more common rotating trigger, the trigger pull distance and weight will be different depending on how high up or low down you put your finger on the trigger. A curved trigger with this type of gun will allow your finger to settle in a relatively consistent spot to give a predictable pull distance and weight. A flat trigger with this type of gun allows your trigger finger to fall anywhere on the trigger, giving very different pull weights and distances. So I dont really get why people want a flat trigger with a rotating trigger action, what is the point? Just looks?
James, all my current triggers remove the trigger safeties, but the manual thumb safety and internal drop safety remain functioning as stock. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey! I installed your short throw trigger but it doesn’t reset every time. Like a weak spring. Could it be dragging on something? Looks to be a very good product and good quality. Thank you for any suggestions.
Actually the backstrap to trigger face distance on the TX22 either with the stock trigger or with my trigger is REALLY close to how the G2/G2c/G3c guns are with my Pseudo Backstrap. If anything I would consider going the other way, and making triggers that were cut deeper so that people with smaller hands could use the TX22 better, but as of yet I have not had a request for that.
Did anyone else have a bunch of green silicone stuff throughout the gun and in the stock trigger? Btw that pin that holds the stock trigger together is a huge pain to get out. You made it look to easy
I didnt have any green silicone in the gun, that is the first time I am hearing about that. Sorry on the pin front, this was back in the middle of the covid gun shortage and it was a used gun, as that was all I could find at the time, and I didnt realize it had been taken apart previously, which is why that pin came out so easily.
Have you tested the drop safety feature after removing the trigger safety? Often times that’s really what they’re there for… not for side press trigger safety. Curious to know the results of a drop
Evan, the internal strike block safety protects against drops for any variation of nose down. The trigger safety only protects against drops where the gun is dropped backwards at a specific angle. The idea behind the trigger safety is that you want an incredibly low mass trigger safety blade that wont be pressed backwards when the gun drops backwards and hits a hard surface. The problem with this idea and the stock TX22 trigger is that the entire front shell is the trigger safety "blade", which means it has a lot more mass than a normal safety blade, and the spring holding it forward is very light weight. So while I dont have the kind of super high speed camera it would take to prove this, it seems likely that on a substantial backwards drop onto a hard surface there would be enough force to compress the whole face of that trigger, rendering the trigger "safety" useless. That being said when you dont have a trigger safety, you want a trigger shoe with light mass, as less mass means it has to be exposed to more G forces before it is capable of overcoming the trigger action pull weight. My TX22 triggers are incredibly light at around 0.1oz, and the pull weight of a TX22 is right around 5lbs. Even not accounting for overcoming spring force, friction, or the fact that not all that 0.1oz of mass is being applied directly to the trigger bar, that means 5lbs * 16 (to get ounces) = 80 divided by 0.1oz = 800. So a TX22 gun with one of my triggers would would have to be dropped far enough onto a hard enough surface to surpass 800Gs before dropping it backwards becomes a concern, and at 800Gs you are very likely getting to the point of catastrophic mechanical failure, at which point all bets are off anyway. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@KeepTinkering I actually realized that other triggers have a similar design to remove the take up of the safety. Couple questions though. Any plans to make a flatter faced version, and what infill/material are used? Looks like a CF nylon?
@@evanott3490 These are made with dyed Nylon 12. As far as the flat faced triggers go, they do work great on 1911 style guns where the trigger is on a slide that moves straight backwards. With that sort of setup you can place your finger anywhere on the trigger face, and you will always have the same trigger face to backstrap distance, and same trigger pull length, allowing you to quickly and consistently pull the trigger without worrying exactly where on the trigger your finger is placed. However when you use a more common pivoting trigger action like a TX22 has, you will always have more travel distance at the bottom of the trigger, and more force required at the top of the trigger, and the curve on the face of the trigger is there so you can quickly and consistently locate your trigger finger on the face in the same spot and have consistent trigger pulls. When you put a flat faced trigger on a gun with a pivoting action, you have now removed the finger placement reference point, so one shot you might be pulling the trigger up high with a short and hard pull, and the next time you draw your finger might hit down low with a long and light trigger pull, as you can imagine this is not good for consistency. Also, you have two options for making a straight trigger face on a TX22, you can either fill in the design top to bottom, which would move the trigger face forward quite a bit and make it an uncomfortable reach for people with medium and smaller hands, or you can move the entire face back and cut the trigger shorter so it does not hit the trigger guard. Besides the trigger looking a bit silly from being so short, you are opening up a huge can of worms for finger pinch by making a short trigger that starts with a big gap at the bottom and quickly narrows as it moves backwards towards break. This was never something I considered before designing triggers but it is an issue that many have expressed even with my triggers, which start at a fairly tight 3/32"-1/8" gap and shrinking to a 1/16" gap as the trigger is pulled. I can't even imagine how many finger pinch complaints I would get if I made a flat faced trigger for the TX 22 by chopping the curves off the face and had a huge 1/4"-5/16" gap at the bottom quickly narrowing as the trigger was pulled, that sounds like a recipe for pinch related disaster for many users. Overall, I know some users really like flat faced triggers, but in this application it really seems sub optimal to me.
@@KeepTinkering right. I understand all about fulcrums and how a flat faced may not be optimal. But I shoot much better with a flat face on polymer guns. If you don’t make one it’s all good. Just a question, since the tandem kross is flat, and most performance triggers are, such as apex and overwatch, but it was just a question that’s all. Seems like you got it pretty well dialed in. Just a couple points of curiosity.
@@evanott3490 I do actually have a couple triggers I made as a trial run that fill in the face for the TX22, if you are really attached to the idea and you can stand a little more reach, shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you a picture of one, and purchase one if you like.
I’ve emailed twice this week. Haven’t received a response… Pull trigger all the way back and the strike is delayed, seems mine is one that needs the slight adjustment... Can someone please get back to me about what the fix is for this. Seems plenty have had the issue but no where is the fix; sanding something down I believe..

I've been reading a lot about people having cycling issues with non-competition tx22s with red dots(I see there's an adaptor plate on yours) . Do you have a solution to that? Maybe reduced power guide spring or just cutting off a few coils on the spring? Thanks!
You could try a lightened RSA. Honestly that was a gun that was loaned to me to assist with developing these triggers, as at the time it was in the midst of the Covid craziness, and I simply could not purchase one of these guns due to the supply issues.
@@KeepTinkering oh gotcha. Reason I was asking is because there are no reduced spring kits for them yet. None that I can seem to find anyway. Thanks for the reply tho!
I found that Aguila Super Extra 40 grain ammo is a little hotter than other brands, including Mini-Mags and fully cycles mine with a red dot on the slide, where the other brands were spotty.
Mine cycles with the micro red dots just fine with any ammo so far. Just bought another tx22 but put bigger RMR sight on it. Haven't shot it yet to see.
I have the TX22 triggers, but are not up on my website yet. If you want to order one, you can order any of my $30 triggers and just put in the notes on checkout that you want the TX22 trigger. All my other triggers do fit the G3c, just make sure to get one of the $35 trigger+spring kits, as the stock G3c trigger spring isnt compatible with my triggers.
New Taurus owner Is it just me or is your trigger less complicated than the stock one. I know it sounds like a dumb question. I ask because if I buy I don’t want to screw anything up and have to take it to a gunsmith. Thx in advance.
It is less complex than the stock one, as I said the stock one technically has a trigger safety, but it doesnt do anything, so I get rid of it. This gun is actually really easy to work on, the trigger install isnt nearly as tricky as the G2 series trigger install with their tricky trigger spring. However, if you do decide to go for it, and run into ANY issues, just let me know and I will gladly help however I can.

Hi folks... have to convey a sense of disappointment in this product and the non-response to my email asking for assistance. Bought the trigger and installed same with no hassle. Trigger pull when pulled quickly was actually very nice. Trigger pull when slowly squeezed was nothing short of horrendous. I sent an email on 19-July asking for help, and have had nothing but "radio silence" since then. All that said, you might want to consider a Tandemkross trigger before this product. Stay safe & shoot well !!
Sorry I have think I have been set up with every scam email provider in the world. I get thousands of spam emails daily and seem to miss quite a few legit emails too. What is going on?
Do you mean the G2s or the 709 Slim? Because my All my PT111 G2/G2c/G3/G3c triggers work in the G2s. All my PT111 G2/G2c/G3/G3c triggers do also work in the 709/740 slim guns, however they may require a small modification. Taurus made several variants of the 709 Slim, and probably several 740 variants as well, and at least one of them at a smaller than normal trigger guard. If you have one of these smaller trigger guard versions and install one of my triggers, you may have to sand or file down the bottom of the trigger to clear the smaller trigger guard, then possibly touch up the bottom of the trigger, which a permanent black sharpie marker does pretty decently. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@KeepTinkeringI have the PT709 "Slim". My brother-in-law just got the Taurus tx22 and is not fond of the trigger pull. I told him that is the same pull of my 9. I am not pleased with that either.. Maybe I will be changing them both out. Glad I found your RUclips.
@@pegleg1az Glad you did too! You are always welcome to shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com too if you have any specific to your gun questions.
I got one a few months ago. Installed it and it doesn’t work properly in my tx22. There needs to be Force applied from the left hand side of the trigger and it breaks clean and smooth. Pulling the trigger straight back though, it just catches as if the safety is on. Do you have any remedies?
Yes, it sounds like your trigger is not coming back quite far enough. Start by giving it a good hard squeeze to make sure it is fully seated. If that doesn't work, shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can walk you through trimming the overtravel stop a bit.

As far actual measured pull weight reduction in the same gun with my trigger vs a stock trigger that doesn’t have the safety hanging up, it isn’t huge, maybe ½lb-1lb less with measured pull weight when switching to my trigger. The biggest problem people have with the stock triggers is not usually the actual pull weight, it is usually the fact that their trigger safety is hanging up and causing the extra hitch that takes more pressure to overcome, that the stock trigger safety blade is so narrow it digs into their finger causing discomfort in longer sessions, or that the stock trigger face at break is so close the backstrap at break that it puts their finger at a mechanical disadvantage so the trigger feels harder to pull than it really is. My triggers drastically lower the perceived pull weight by getting rid of the stock trigger safety which fixes the first two problems, and all my triggers move the trigger face forward at break by various amounts (Curve~1/8”, Slight Curve, Standard, Skeletal~1/4”, Straight~3/8”, Pseudo Backstrap~1/2”), which increases the backstrap to trigger face distance at break, giving people with larger than tiny hands a mechanical advantage when pulling the trigger. This last one is the biggest reason that so many people give me feedback about drastic improvements in accuracy with my triggers over the stock trigger.
dude i gotta say, im pretty impressed with your thought process. of course i dont know your history and dont know what you do for a job. but you should really consider getting involved in the firearms industry. but my curiosity is really pointing me here.... what else do you "tinker" with? do you modify or correct cars/vehicles? home appliances? or are you solely interested in perfecting faulty triggers? also have you worked on anything other than the horrid Taurus triggers? like the hi point trigger. that thing you have to attach a come along to in order to pull the trigger. i have a after market 4lb spring in it and its still atrocious. please forgive my nosiness, i was just curious and thought i would at least ask. have a great week. looking forward to your next tinkerings.
Cars, guns, houses, knives, computers and electronics of all sorts, gardening, whatever else catches my interest, and I usually work in IT as a server admin. I have a wide range of interests as you might guess.
@@KeepTinkering you know,,,, im not really surprised to hear that. i kinda figured you would have your hands in alot of different pots. thats good tho, that way your always keeping your brain busy. i was curious if you are working on any other gun platforms, or have any other projects related to triggers, or even any other gun projects period? i understand if its not ready for the public to know, i mjust curious because im really impressed with the taurus trigger upgrades, and what a magnificent improvement that has been, im just curious if your planning on improving any other mass produced junk triggers? like with the g2c, the gun was awesome, but the trigger itself is almost a deal breaker. in fact i quit carrying it until i got your upgrade, and carried my big ass glock 35. but thanks to the SAO trigger, i can confidently carry the g2c again. thank you for that.
I am always open to suggestions, especially as the gun availability situation becomes a bit more under control. However, I am a bit more limited than large operations because it is just me. I have a TH9C and a GX4, both of which I have considered triggers for, but honestly the GX4 trigger is already REALLY good, and the TH9/TH9c triggers would require a more complex metal trigger, so I would need to find a new supplier who could produce my designs. So maybe I will come up with something for those guns, but it will likely be a bit.
I put mine together and noticed that if I pull trigger with right side pressure or straight back pressure the trigger won’t work, but if pulling with left side pressure it works every time...any ideas on why or how to fix this
Sounds like the trigger is not coming quite far enough back for your particular gun, shoot me an email at keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you some pictures of what to trim to dial in the overtravel.
Glad to hear it is working correctly now! I originally tested this with several TX22 guns that all worked well, but I am seeing some feedback from a few folks that are having to make similar adjustments, so I will probably trim the design a bit for the next revision.
So keep in mind that a gun doesnt need a trigger safety to be drop safe. If the force generated by the mass and inerta of the trigger shoe still moving backwards after the frame suddenly stops isnt enough to release the action, the gun cant fire. If I am remembering correctly the Sig P365 is one that is a good example here. As is common with Sigs the gun didnt come with a trigger safety, and while the civilian version was drop safe the traditional ways: muzzle down and sideways, it was not drop safe in the way that has gathered more attention recently, which is backwards. Sig resolved the issue by replacing the relatively heavy metal trigger shoe with a lower mass metal trigger shoe, which made the civilian version drop safe. The military version had a different trigger shoe with less mass to begin with so it wasnt an issue. This is a big part of the reason I make my triggers from a nylon polymer, and skeletonize the designs that are larger: a trigger shoe with less mass is a safer trigger shoe. As I mentioned in the video I dont see how the stock TX22 trigger "safety" is supposed to make the gun safer, as the entire visible portion acts as the "safety".
My supplier actually just started offering these in very limited colors, and I am considering offering these in red. I have a handful of red and blue ones that I got to sample them, so if you want one of those you can order a normal one off my website and leave me a note saying you want a red or blue one, and if I still have any left I will send you one of those.
I installed my new tinkering trigger and i have to pull back and to the right in order for it to function. If i pull straight back it will not function. Any ideas?

Wow!! Absolute game changer!! Straight off the block and the difference is night and day!! This is my 2nd KT upgrade (G3C) and I can't recommend it enough!! Ty!!
Added this Trigger to my TX22 Competition. I had a few problems installing the Short Throw Trigger as the biggest issue was the pins in the TX22 are very tight. It was extremely hard to disassemble the Taurus trigger.
Informative video, trigger is working well in my gun. It took me about 90 minutes from start to finish with all the proper tools.
Thanks for the terrific trigger for my gun!
Thanks! I am glad you like it, and I really appreciate the feedback! As far as the tight pins go I am not exactly sure why that happens but it seems like maybe 1-3% of Taurus guns have just incredibly hard to remove pins, where they are not just a little harder to get out, but like 3 or 4 times as hard, I dont know if maybe one guy in their assembly team uses red locktite on the pins or what. I have a set of short starter punches for just this issue I brake out several times a year. Sadly I dont really have any idea why this is or what to do about it other than get a short starter punch, a really stable surface, and give it the business, which does take some extra effort but has always worked for me.
Honestly for such a simple piece it's excellent. They should get with you and pay you alot of money and start using this as a factory trigger. I will be buying it for sure
Thanks! Now if only Taurus shared that same sentiment.....
I’m extremely happy with my G2C trigger! You make some great stuff and were very helpful. Thanks, Joel!
Thanks, glad you like it!
just installed via this great video and this trigger feels great on the bench. I can't wait to plink with it. Thank you.
I had to shim this trigger shoe on my tx22 with two .005 shims now it’s perfect.
Thanks for your awesome product.
Thanks for letting me know, as I take this feedback into account for future revisions.
Glad to see you are still developing new trigger products.
Yea, life sometimes gets in the way, but I do try to keep refining old models and making new things as well.
This is incredible! I cannot wait for the trigger to appear, so I can order it together with one for the G3C.
I was already a subscriber, so the only thing left to click (and well deserved!) was the like button.
If you wanna order one now, you can just go to my website and order any of my $30 triggers, and leave me a note saying you want the TX22 Trigger instead, I will get an actual order page up for it probably this weekend.
Mine got delivered yesterday. Can't wait to put it on and test it out.
How did it go?
On my gun the top of the finger the holds the trigger spring hits the metal block above and sanding the trigger didn’t work. I took a needle nose pliers and bent the hook at the end of the trigger bar out a little and now it works fine. I essentially made the trigger bar longer from tip to tip. Little disappointed with tech support from seller but maybe he has a family emergency or such. I just wanted to get my Tx up and running since I shoot it twice a week
still no support or response . Im putting the stock trigger back on
Maaan, that action is INCREDIBLY short! F'in sweet dude!
Glad you like it!
@@KeepTinkering make a flat one! 😎
@@brandonprice0510 I actually have a handful of flat faced ones that bring the trigger face forward a bit from my normal TX22 triggers. I liked the curved style better so I never offered the flat faced one, but if you want one you can order a normal TX22 trigger from me then put in the notes you want a flat faced and I will send you one.
had to pull out this trigger nd put stock one back and now the gun runs fine. just ran 120 rounds and had two jam with mini mag and 1 stovepipe with cci standard , mush better. The Aguila extra ran perfect
I had a slight issue with my trigger when I first installed it where it would not fire if the trigger was pulled at an angle. Emailed Keep Tinkering and had a solution within an hour. Everything functions well now.
Glad to hear it is working correctly now Jacob! Some of these guns do need just a hair more overtravel to work correctly with my triggers, but it is a pretty quick fix.
This is what mine is doing.
WHY NOT POST THE FIX ? IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE
@@andrewmarino1021 I had to lightly sand down my over travel stop.
Jacob is that the trigger itself ?
Taurus stock tigger is fine. I wouldn’t fix something if it isn’t broke. I ordered this trigger and yes it felt great while dry firing. Unfortunately after about 2 magazines of test firing, my gun now only fires if I pull the trigger back at an angle. Worked perfect before, now I have issues. Wish I woulda just left it all alone…
I sent you an email as well, but this just means the trigger isnt coming back QUITE far enough to reliably release, which is a pretty easy issue to fix. First give the trigger a good hard squeeze to completely settle everything, if that doesnt completely resolve the issue, you can slightly trim the areas in the pics attached to the email I sent you. Just let me know if you need any further assistance.
@@KeepTinkering ok u win, did as u said and took it to the range. It’s back to amazing. Put 200 rounds thru my tx22 comp w out a malfunction and trigger is dialed. Thanks!
@@DCsalemmusik Glad to hear it! As always, just let me know if I can be of any further help.
Could I get the email too I fired over 200 rounds and same issue have to pull slightly at angle and doesn't properly reset
WIll be ordering one soon thank you for getting to.the TX22
No problem, it is a fun gun!
My TX22 came with a 4.5lb trigger pull. I carefully honed the striker contact to sear surface and it's now at just over 3lbs. I'm going to replace the trigger with yours and try a lighter trigger spring.
Sounds good!
Just ordered one yesterday, can't wait to try it.
Thanks for the support!
@@KeepTinkering The video here looks pretty straight forward and simple. Have to see if my old eyes can see to do it without losing any springs
I followed the Tandemkross method of prying out the trigger bar instead of pulling the pin. That ended up tweaking the trigger bar a little making the trigger not work if pulled at the wrong angle. I had to dissemble everything and re-tweak the trigger bar to get the striker release linkage that the trigger bar lifts to fire the striker reliably. I would recommend not taking the Tandemkross prying shortcut and remove the pin from the factory trigger. I am happy with the "Keep Tinkering" TX22 trigger upgrade and think it is better than the Tandemkross trigger as the flat faced aluminum trigger doesn't fits the aesthetics of the TX22. Plus I don't really want to deal with extra set screws for adjustment of the other trigger.
Awesome trigger, video made the job easy.
Thanks, glad you like it!
I've installed the trigger following your video step by step. (GREAT VIDEO) The trigger will only fire if I put pressure on the right side, and I can't seem to figure out why. Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
Yes, it sounds like your trigger is just not coming back quite far enough, shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I will give you directions and some pictures on how to dial it in.
Hi from a long time fan and trigger buyer for original G2.
Awesome, thanks for your support!
Nice I'll have to order one. By the way the g2 trigger I installed in my 709 slim 9mm is still running perfect.
Glad to hear it!
Nice! My KT pt111 trigger is fantastic.
Glad you like it!
Had to correct my comment and just say that now I am very happy with the trigger. I got an email from Keeptinkering with pics on where to cut to increase overtravel and it worked great in both gun. If you are having the same issues with hard trigger pull or not going off shoot him an email and he'll get you hooked up. I think there should be instruction sent when he sends out the triggers to save a headache.
Darrell, it sounds like your gun needs a bit more overtravel, shoot me an email and I will send you some pictures and directions of what to trim on the trigger to dial it in.
@@KeepTinkering Thanks, I did as instructed and both guns work great. You may want to edit your video to show how to do it or put instructions in the package.
This trigger and the sights where the first thing i changed then i got the plus five magazines extensions
With so many Ruger security 9 owners out there, any thoughts on a trigger from you? I’m not very happy with the Galloway version (apparently I’m not the only one). The safety catches if your not perfectly lined up to pull. Considering removing the trig safety to see if it gets better.
What would you want changed about the stock trigger? And you mean any side to side pressure causes the trigger to hang up with the Galloway version?
Yes. Any side to side pressure WILL lock it up (and I mean ANY). A shorter trigger stroke and reset along with a better feel than the factory (similar to the G2C). It’s not awful but needs work.
Ordered the trigger for my TX22 competition. I got what appears to be a trigger and spring for a G2 . Three emails, no response.
You should make a video comparing to the tandemkross trigger
They are really just differences in preference. The Tandemkross trigger is more expensive and adjustable, but you have to take the gun apart to do the adjustments. My trigger is cheaper and a drop in version, I have put a lot of effort into taking out as much pretravel and overtravel as possible so that it works with about 95% of these guns perfectly with no modifications needed. So if you are the kind of person who wants to do one disassembly cycle and have it work great, my trigger is a good option. If you are ok with taking the gun apart 5-10 times to adjust the trigger pretravel and over travel for your particular gun the Tandemkross might be more your speed. I will say that you better be sure you really like flat faced triggers though if you order the Tandemkross, from what I have seen the edges are pretty aggressive, and I know if I made one of my triggers with edges that sharp I would get a lot of people coming back with complaints about it, so make sure you know what you are getting into.
Im ready to get one. Anticipated release date?
I have them available now, I just need to get a post up for them on my website and on ebay. If you want to order one before that you can order any of my $30 triggers and just put in the note at checkout that you want the TX22 trigger.
Do this reduce the reach at all. I have a TX22 for my 10yr old and it is tough to reach it. Plus this would make him a Trigger snob. Haha. He already is and loves shooting my CZ’s.
Do you make a safety for the TX22? The one I have came without a safety.
Btw that trigger return spring reminds me very much of the one inside the sear cage of the Caniks.
Instead of trying to find a good match inside of a box of random springs, can you please add a reduced one to your website?
It would be the killer racing makeover kit for TX22 combined with this trigger.
Honestly that is a pretty light spring already, and I wouldnt want to run into return or reset issues. I would suggest trying with the trigger alone and see how you like it.
Nice job. Thanks
I recieved my TX22 trigger last week and was quite excited by the look and feel. However I am having some significant fitment issues and have sent 2 email that have gone unanswered. Please reach out so I can fix this issue. Thanks! I'm excited to get this working as I can tell once it is functioning properly it will be a hige upgrade. Cheers
Sorry, I have been running a bit behind recently, I had responded now.
@@KeepTinkering thank you for the response and for addressing my issue!
No problem, glad to help!
Nice upgrade but please get yourself a small brass hammer to do things like this with.
I actually have one I use with steel guns, but with polymer stuff you REALLY have to miss hard to leave a permanent dent, even with a steel hammer, as long as the hammer is flat faced. Plus I find the slightly larger/heavier steel hammer give me a bit more control.
It would not matter how any firearm is made or what it cost to make it and someone will not like it and they will change it.I guess I’m very flexible and know how to adjust and I can shoot just about any gun pretty well no matter what trigger it has or what sites are on it.I just leave them as they come from the factory other than adding a scope to my Squirrel and Deer rifles.
I think some people are more inclined to change things to fit them than others are. That was actually why I went with the "Tinkering" theme, to identify that way, as that was what my family used to call it. There is nothing wrong with either approach in my opinion, it is just a different way to view things.
so u r youtubing "how to" vids for custom trigger installs why then?.. Lol 😂 u know u wanna
yours look easier to install than the victory, no need for adjustments, but victory looks better. i hope youll make a design with a flat skeletonized face.
I totally get why flat triggers are nice with a 1911 style trigger that has guides and slides straight back, because anywhere you press on the trigger gives you the same result. With guns that have a more common rotating trigger, the trigger pull distance and weight will be different depending on how high up or low down you put your finger on the trigger. A curved trigger with this type of gun will allow your finger to settle in a relatively consistent spot to give a predictable pull distance and weight. A flat trigger with this type of gun allows your trigger finger to fall anywhere on the trigger, giving very different pull weights and distances. So I dont really get why people want a flat trigger with a rotating trigger action, what is the point? Just looks?
Does the G3C trigger have the same safety feature as the OM? You did not demo any confirmation of this important point.
James, all my current triggers remove the trigger safeties, but the manual thumb safety and internal drop safety remain functioning as stock. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
awesome, just ordered mine
Hey! I installed your short throw trigger but it doesn’t reset every time. Like a weak spring. Could it be dragging on something? Looks to be a very good product and good quality. Thank you for any suggestions.
Steve, was this for the TX22? If so shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you some instructions and pictures.
Not sure if it's necessary but curious if you've considered a pseudo back-strap trigger for the TX-22?
Actually the backstrap to trigger face distance on the TX22 either with the stock trigger or with my trigger is REALLY close to how the G2/G2c/G3c guns are with my Pseudo Backstrap. If anything I would consider going the other way, and making triggers that were cut deeper so that people with smaller hands could use the TX22 better, but as of yet I have not had a request for that.
Did anyone else have a bunch of green silicone stuff throughout the gun and in the stock trigger? Btw that pin that holds the stock trigger together is a huge pain to get out. You made it look to easy
I didnt have any green silicone in the gun, that is the first time I am hearing about that. Sorry on the pin front, this was back in the middle of the covid gun shortage and it was a used gun, as that was all I could find at the time, and I didnt realize it had been taken apart previously, which is why that pin came out so easily.
@@KeepTinkering no worries. I loved the g2c trigger. Can’t wait to take the tx22 to the range to test this one
Have you tested the drop safety feature after removing the trigger safety? Often times that’s really what they’re there for… not for side press trigger safety.
Curious to know the results of a drop
Evan, the internal strike block safety protects against drops for any variation of nose down. The trigger safety only protects against drops where the gun is dropped backwards at a specific angle. The idea behind the trigger safety is that you want an incredibly low mass trigger safety blade that wont be pressed backwards when the gun drops backwards and hits a hard surface. The problem with this idea and the stock TX22 trigger is that the entire front shell is the trigger safety "blade", which means it has a lot more mass than a normal safety blade, and the spring holding it forward is very light weight. So while I dont have the kind of super high speed camera it would take to prove this, it seems likely that on a substantial backwards drop onto a hard surface there would be enough force to compress the whole face of that trigger, rendering the trigger "safety" useless.
That being said when you dont have a trigger safety, you want a trigger shoe with light mass, as less mass means it has to be exposed to more G forces before it is capable of overcoming the trigger action pull weight. My TX22 triggers are incredibly light at around 0.1oz, and the pull weight of a TX22 is right around 5lbs. Even not accounting for overcoming spring force, friction, or the fact that not all that 0.1oz of mass is being applied directly to the trigger bar, that means 5lbs * 16 (to get ounces) = 80 divided by 0.1oz = 800. So a TX22 gun with one of my triggers would would have to be dropped far enough onto a hard enough surface to surpass 800Gs before dropping it backwards becomes a concern, and at 800Gs you are very likely getting to the point of catastrophic mechanical failure, at which point all bets are off anyway.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@KeepTinkering I actually realized that other triggers have a similar design to remove the take up of the safety.
Couple questions though.
Any plans to make a flatter faced version, and what infill/material are used?
Looks like a CF nylon?
@@evanott3490 These are made with dyed Nylon 12. As far as the flat faced triggers go, they do work great on 1911 style guns where the trigger is on a slide that moves straight backwards. With that sort of setup you can place your finger anywhere on the trigger face, and you will always have the same trigger face to backstrap distance, and same trigger pull length, allowing you to quickly and consistently pull the trigger without worrying exactly where on the trigger your finger is placed. However when you use a more common pivoting trigger action like a TX22 has, you will always have more travel distance at the bottom of the trigger, and more force required at the top of the trigger, and the curve on the face of the trigger is there so you can quickly and consistently locate your trigger finger on the face in the same spot and have consistent trigger pulls. When you put a flat faced trigger on a gun with a pivoting action, you have now removed the finger placement reference point, so one shot you might be pulling the trigger up high with a short and hard pull, and the next time you draw your finger might hit down low with a long and light trigger pull, as you can imagine this is not good for consistency. Also, you have two options for making a straight trigger face on a TX22, you can either fill in the design top to bottom, which would move the trigger face forward quite a bit and make it an uncomfortable reach for people with medium and smaller hands, or you can move the entire face back and cut the trigger shorter so it does not hit the trigger guard. Besides the trigger looking a bit silly from being so short, you are opening up a huge can of worms for finger pinch by making a short trigger that starts with a big gap at the bottom and quickly narrows as it moves backwards towards break. This was never something I considered before designing triggers but it is an issue that many have expressed even with my triggers, which start at a fairly tight 3/32"-1/8" gap and shrinking to a 1/16" gap as the trigger is pulled. I can't even imagine how many finger pinch complaints I would get if I made a flat faced trigger for the TX 22 by chopping the curves off the face and had a huge 1/4"-5/16" gap at the bottom quickly narrowing as the trigger was pulled, that sounds like a recipe for pinch related disaster for many users. Overall, I know some users really like flat faced triggers, but in this application it really seems sub optimal to me.
@@KeepTinkering right. I understand all about fulcrums and how a flat faced may not be optimal. But I shoot much better with a flat face on polymer guns. If you don’t make one it’s all good. Just a question, since the tandem kross is flat, and most performance triggers are, such as apex and overwatch, but it was just a question that’s all. Seems like you got it pretty well dialed in. Just a couple points of curiosity.
@@evanott3490 I do actually have a couple triggers I made as a trial run that fill in the face for the TX22, if you are really attached to the idea and you can stand a little more reach, shoot me an email to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you a picture of one, and purchase one if you like.
I’ve emailed twice this week. Haven’t received a response… Pull trigger all the way back and the strike is delayed, seems mine is one that needs the slight adjustment...

You could try a lightened RSA. Honestly that was a gun that was loaned to me to assist with developing these triggers, as at the time it was in the midst of the Covid craziness, and I simply could not purchase one of these guns due to the supply issues.
@@KeepTinkering oh gotcha. Reason I was asking is because there are no reduced spring kits for them yet. None that I can seem to find anyway. Thanks for the reply tho!
I found that Aguila Super Extra 40 grain ammo is a little hotter than other brands, including Mini-Mags and fully cycles mine with a red dot on the slide, where the other brands were spotty.
Mine cycles with the micro red dots just fine with any ammo so far. Just bought another tx22 but put bigger RMR sight on it. Haven't shot it yet to see.

Is it just me or is your trigger less complicated than the stock one.
I know it sounds like a dumb question.
I ask because if I buy I don’t want to screw anything up and have to take it to a gunsmith. Thx in advance.
It is less complex than the stock one, as I said the stock one technically has a trigger safety, but it doesnt do anything, so I get rid of it. This gun is actually really easy to work on, the trigger install isnt nearly as tricky as the G2 series trigger install with their tricky trigger spring.

Hi folks... have to convey a sense of disappointment in this product and the non-response to my email asking for assistance. Bought the trigger and installed same with no hassle. Trigger pull when pulled quickly was actually very nice. Trigger pull when slowly squeezed was nothing short of horrendous. I sent an email on 19-July asking for help, and have had nothing but "radio silence" since then. All that said, you might want to consider a Tandemkross trigger before this product. Stay safe & shoot well !!
Sorry I have think I have been set up with every scam email provider in the world. I get thousands of spam emails daily and seem to miss quite a few legit emails too. What is going on?
Do you also have a trigger for a Taurus 9m "slim"?
Do you mean the G2s or the 709 Slim? Because my All my PT111 G2/G2c/G3/G3c triggers work in the G2s. All my PT111 G2/G2c/G3/G3c triggers do also work in the 709/740 slim guns, however they may require a small modification. Taurus made several variants of the 709 Slim, and probably several 740 variants as well, and at least one of them at a smaller than normal trigger guard. If you have one of these smaller trigger guard versions and install one of my triggers, you may have to sand or file down the bottom of the trigger to clear the smaller trigger guard, then possibly touch up the bottom of the trigger, which a permanent black sharpie marker does pretty decently. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@@KeepTinkeringI have the PT709 "Slim".

Does a oil filter screw on that barrel
Not directly, but wouldnt surprise me if you could get an adapter that might make it work, but I dont know about the legality of that.
does the trigger pull weight change with your trigger
As far actual measured pull weight reduction in the same gun with my trigger vs a stock trigger that doesn’t have the safety hanging up, it isn’t huge, maybe ½lb-1lb less with measured pull weight when switching to my trigger.
The biggest problem people have with the stock triggers is not usually the actual pull weight, it is usually the fact that their trigger safety is hanging up and causing the extra hitch that takes more pressure to overcome, that the stock trigger safety blade is so narrow it digs into their finger causing discomfort in longer sessions, or that the stock trigger face at break is so close the backstrap at break that it puts their finger at a mechanical disadvantage so the trigger feels harder to pull than it really is.
My triggers drastically lower the perceived pull weight by getting rid of the stock trigger safety which fixes the first two problems, and all my triggers move the trigger face forward at break by various amounts (Curve~1/8”, Slight Curve, Standard, Skeletal~1/4”, Straight~3/8”, Pseudo Backstrap~1/2”), which increases the backstrap to trigger face distance at break, giving people with larger than tiny hands a mechanical advantage when pulling the trigger. This last one is the biggest reason that so many people give me feedback about drastic improvements in accuracy with my triggers over the stock trigger.
Works with compact?
Yes, my TX22 triggers work with the TX22 compact too.
dude i gotta say, im pretty impressed with your thought process. of course i dont know your history and dont know what you do for a job. but you should really consider getting involved in the firearms industry. but my curiosity is really pointing me here.... what else do you "tinker" with? do you modify or correct cars/vehicles? home appliances? or are you solely interested in perfecting faulty triggers? also have you worked on anything other than the horrid Taurus triggers? like the hi point trigger. that thing you have to attach a come along to in order to pull the trigger. i have a after market 4lb spring in it and its still atrocious. please forgive my nosiness, i was just curious and thought i would at least ask. have a great week. looking forward to your next tinkerings.

I have a TH9C and a GX4, both of which I have considered triggers for, but honestly the GX4 trigger is already REALLY good, and the TH9/TH9c triggers would require a more complex metal trigger, so I would need to find a new supplier who could produce my designs. So maybe I will come up with something for those guns, but it will likely be a bit.
I put mine together and noticed that if I pull trigger with right side pressure or straight back pressure the trigger won’t work, but if pulling with left side pressure it works every time...any ideas on why or how to fix this
Sounds like the trigger is not coming quite far enough back for your particular gun, shoot me an email at keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you some pictures of what to trim to dial in the overtravel.
Just wanted to let you know filing a tiny bit worked. I had to remove the trigger but works fine now
Glad to hear it is working correctly now! I originally tested this with several TX22 guns that all worked well, but I am seeing some feedback from a few folks that are having to make similar adjustments, so I will probably trim the design a bit for the next revision.
@@MrMclovin44 I'm having the same issue what exactly did you file?
I'm certainly no gunsmith but doesn't this make this pistol no longer drop safe
So keep in mind that a gun doesnt need a trigger safety to be drop safe. If the force generated by the mass and inerta of the trigger shoe still moving backwards after the frame suddenly stops isnt enough to release the action, the gun cant fire. If I am remembering correctly the Sig P365 is one that is a good example here. As is common with Sigs the gun didnt come with a trigger safety, and while the civilian version was drop safe the traditional ways: muzzle down and sideways, it was not drop safe in the way that has gathered more attention recently, which is backwards. Sig resolved the issue by replacing the relatively heavy metal trigger shoe with a lower mass metal trigger shoe, which made the civilian version drop safe. The military version had a different trigger shoe with less mass to begin with so it wasnt an issue.
This is a big part of the reason I make my triggers from a nylon polymer, and skeletonize the designs that are larger: a trigger shoe with less mass is a safer trigger shoe.
As I mentioned in the video I dont see how the stock TX22 trigger "safety" is supposed to make the gun safer, as the entire visible portion acts as the "safety".
Will this trigger fit the gc2?
No, not this trigger for the TX22, but all the other triggers on my website (www.keeptinkering.com) will fit the Taurus PT111 G2c.
any chance of making these in colors?
My supplier actually just started offering these in very limited colors, and I am considering offering these in red. I have a handful of red and blue ones that I got to sample them, so if you want one of those you can order a normal one off my website and leave me a note saying you want a red or blue one, and if I still have any left I will send you one of those.
I installed my new tinkering trigger and i have to pull back and to the right in order for it to function. If i pull straight back it will not function. Any ideas?
If this is for a TX22 trigger that means your trigger needs just a little more overtravel dialed in, shoot me a message to keeptinkering@gmail.com and I can send you instructions with pictures.
@@KeepTinkering I emailed you also.
Are these still available?
I have the TX22 triggers, they are just not listed on my website yet (www.keeptinkering.com). If you would like to purchase one you can order any of my $30 triggers, and when checking out just leave me a note that says you want the TX22 trigger instead.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
It looks like your trigger might be a little more spongey though. I know the factory tx22 trigger has a clear crisp break.
Keep in mind my trigger doesnt change the action, it just removes some takeup, some overtravel, and converts the multiple piece stock trigger to a single fixed part, so if anything it removes the sponginess from the stock multi part trigger assembly.
How do i order one of these?
I will get an order page up either this weekend or early next week, if you want to order one sooner you can just go to my website www.keeptinkering.com and order any of my 30 dollar triggers, and leave me a note saying you want the TX22 trigger.
