You wanna talk about "have some patience." I just spent the last three hours looking for that damn spring. The thing took a journey to land behind me. My shop is much cleaner now.
I just had the detent go shooting off across the room into another dimension. My build has stopped for now and I ordered four spring kits because this is going to drive me nuts. I'd recommend to Tandem to add two more springs and detents to each kit and tack on a $2/3 charge. I guess if I was smart enough, I would have ordered an extra three when I placed the original order.
Great products! Installed the Trigger, Mag bumpers, and Halo charging ring today. The Trigger took a solid hour. Everything went step by step like the video. TIP: After the detente and spring went flying for the 3rd tim, I grabbed a pencil with a fresh eraser on it, using the eraser end to push the detente and spring down to maneuver it under the tab.
I have discovered a quick way to install this and without having a spring and pin pop out. Put a 1/16” punch in the right pin hole through the trigger and stop with the punch resting lightly on the bench. Grip the trigger with your left finger and insert the spring and trigger with your thumb nail as you wiggle it in place. (Tip: If you place a piece of masking tape over top of the top of the gun and spring/pin, if it pops, it will stay in gun). Then wiggle the punch around as you look through the left pin hole. When it is aligned, insert pin. After the pin is inserted, push it through flush with trigger and insert bushing washer. The set pin. Done!
Bought this today at 2017 S&W IDPA Nationals , can't wait to put it in. You might remember me as a guy with accent , bragging that it's his birthday. Lol. Thank you guys for supporting the sport.
Okay I just got my new barrel and I had the trigger and captured recoil spring so I decided today 1/28/23 was the day to install them. I’m very pleased with everything from tandemkross the products are of high quality and shipping is great. The only problem is how easy you made putting the spring and plunger into the new trigger in this video. It took 12 times to finely get it and the pin to work the washer was not easy but nothing compared to that plunger and spring almost lost them three times and my dog now knows some new phrases. Luckily I was home alone or my grandson may have learned how not to fix a problem. Thanks for what you do!!
Just got my trigger installed and it's awesome. One piece of advice to those of you following along and only half paying attention to the video as you complete each step: when installing the pre-travel adjustment screw be sure set it so it's flush with the TOP face of the trigger, not the bottom face. The screw head should be sticking out and not set to take up any pre-travel (see 10:55). I missed that detail and ended up with a non-functioning pistol because the trigger couldn't reset. Certain I screwed something up I disassembled and installed everything a second time with the same results. Finally figured it out and felt dumb once I got it working. Learn from my mistake!
Mine moved on the first outing and wouldn't reset. As my trigger has to sit against the frame on forward travel I find no need of it but I understand that frames can vary.
Just installed mine, awesome trigger!!! Even better than I was expecting. One tip I could give is when you're installing the trigger spring and plunger, put the whole gun in a plastic freezer bag till you get the trigger pin back in. That'll save you the hassle of trying to find the plunger and spring when they come flying out of the gun on you.
I have purchased a few of your products and they are ALL TOP NOTCH !!! I would like to do this trigger setup , just have to talk the wife into it , as she loves her Victory !!! Your Videos are excellent HOW TO Videos , Thank you TandemKross !
Your very Welcome !! I Just installed the Tandemkross Mag extender ( silver ) and the red Mag Maximus" Plus1 Follower for SW22 Victory today that arrived in the mail !! Also wanted to say those 2 Cute girls are great at making how to videos !!!! and look like great responsible shooters too !!
Just finished a successful install replaying each step of the video as I progressed. Great video. It would have been really tough to complete with out the video aid. Thanks!
You make it look sooo easy...what a nightmare for an old man! Thank God I had the spring assembly that goes under the trigger bar in a large clear bag...even with using a new pencil eraser it took me 45 minutes...it just would not stay under the bar ..I finally finished after about 2 frustrating hours...take apart was a snap. I would not attempt this again and I hope all goes well tomorrow at my weekly club pistol shoot!
This is definitely our most challenging product install, Dave, so great work! We think you'll love the trigger when you get out to shoot it today, but definitely let us know if you have any issues at all! Thanks so much for your business.
I got mine and installed it without too much trouble. What a difference the TK Victory Trigger makes. I'm glad that I stumbled upon it while purchasing the 10/22 magazine takedown tool (which makes life easier when cleaning those magazines). I'm looking forward to the next bullseye match with the S&W SW22. Great job, Tandemcross!
The installation of the Victory trigger was easy. I followed this video and had no troubles. I installed my TK Victory Trigger a while back and finally gotten more range time to perform some test and tune. I found that my groups are tighter with the same ammo as I had used with the stock trigger. My original setup of the triggers adjustments were as per the video's recommendations and held true after rapid firing 6 mags in rapid succession. I fired 3 more mags to build a little heat and introduce more fouling in order to perform a real world trigger pull test. It stayed right at 2 lbs. It stayed at 2 lbs after firing 300 rounds without cleaning or additional adjustment. The flat face of this trigger will create new found trigger discipline for many shooters and or refinement of their finger placement and technique. With consistent technique you'll find very repeatable and consistent results. So far so good, I'm getting to know this trigger and the more I get to know it, the more I like it. My first impressions of this trigger are mostly positive. I only have one concern and it may be somewhat premature. The tactile feedback of the triggers return and reset are extremely soft, much softer than those of steel construction. I am attempting to acclimate to the triggers subtle feedback characteristics and as the trigger breaks in, I may find it more favorable. I hope to see more products from TK. Thank you TK, you've earned the respect you have amassed.
Wow, thank you so much, Grant! We really appreciate all of the feedback and the kind words. We always want our customers to be happy with their purchase, so this is so great to hear. Thank you very much for trusting our parts in your gun!
Very good video! Great detail shown, which is very helpful. The one thing I didn't see was the installation of the very small set screw that holds the trigger assembly to the trigger bar. I assume that anyone mechanically inclined enough to try this install, would have figured it out.
That small set screw was part of an update to the product that happened after this video was made. Now that we have consistent in-house video production, we'll be making a revamped video that includes that step as well as tips to make this install easier overall at some point in the near future.
I started my disassembly yesterday and gave up after several attempts of trying to remove the pesky spring by the safety switch. I gave it hell again today for about an hour when the light bulb finally clicked. My picks were too thick making it difficult. Went and grabbed some needle nose hair tweezers and the spring was out within 10 seconds. On to assembly tomorrow. Great detailed video.
I watched this video a few times through beforehand and I was overly confident I wouldn't lose the detent. Nope, it went flying and by sheer LUCK I located it on my carpet! Highly recommend anyone attempting this to use a big sandwich bag or some type of clear bag and do that step inside there. Anyway, great trigger.
I just did my S&W Victory tonight . I was done in about an hour and that was with the wife talking and bugging me while I was trying to work. The only thing that gave me some issue was safety catch. That thing gave me big balls for a few minutes. Be sure to out the hammer going in towards the back, I tipped the gun back to make it easier. WOW much better trigger and the feel of that flat face is very nice. It ended up at 2.35 LBS and very crisp..
Good video for installing the TK trigger. I did run into quite a bit of frustration with the hammer locking in the fully cocked position. After several complete disassembly and reassembly exercises I called Tandemkross. Eric was great and explained that some of the SW Victory frames vary a little. What was happening was that my trigger was not moving far enough forward to reset. He suggested filing a small amount ( I filed about 1/16 inch) off of the trigger where it meets the frame. He also said if I screwed up the trigger don't worry as Tandemkross would replace it since they are the ones that suggested filing it. Works great now! Smooth and I don't have any wiggle side to side on the trigger as some have found with their installs. I had heard that a modified spacer is now being shipped so that is probably what I received. Installed the Halo slide handle and ordered the mag extenders. Impressed with the products. Another note now that I think of it: the disconnect bar retaining screw was slightly binding the disconnect bar if screwed down all the way. Backed off just enough to allow the trigger to move freely forward from the spring pressure but where the bar is still held in place.
Thanks for the great feedback and for sharing your install experience, Fred. We're so happy you're pleased with the product and that Eric was able to help you get the part installed. He's a great resource for all things product support :) Thank you for your business!
Great video. I had no problems getting my trigger installed. I did take photos of the mechanisms as I went along so that I had references in case I ran into any issues.The other thing that I did was put a drop of Loctite blue on the retaining screw on the top of the trigger. I figure it can't hurt and would keep that screw from loosening up. I also purchased and installed the hive grip and halo charging ring at the same time. Can't wait to get to the range to try them out. Good job!
Hi Grant, so glad to hear you got your trigger and other upgrades in successfully - thanks for the tips! It's always good to know the tricks others are using to make this install easier :) Let us know how you like the parts once you get to the range!
After fooling around with the plunger and spring and picking them off the floor 3 times I changed the procedure. Put the disconnect bar in the trigger, screw in the set screw and install the trigger first. Then, put the spring and plunger in, turn the disconnect bar down and hook it on the sear. No fuss, no flying parts and no drama. Finish the hammer back portion and you are done. Trigger works fine. Thanks for a fine product.
That trigger is a beautiful thing. The SW22 makes you a good shooter to start with...your trigger takes it to the next level. The Halo charging handle was a huge improvement for the gun as well. These upgrades made this my favorite 22 plinking gun by far. I know I'll sound like an ad-man..but for the price these are a no-brainer if you own a SW22. (Thanks to 22plinkster for steering me your direction.)
Love the product, installed the Thunder Hammer too as long as it was all apart. But even though I was warned by the friend who turned me onto these upgrades that he launched - and lost- the spring and detent shown at 12:00, despite my best efforts I did it, miraculously found the pieces and then launched them a SECOND TIME and FOUND THEM AGAIN. Buyers beware! Sweep and sterilize your work area or buy spares like my buddy did. Or pray to St. Anthony....worked for me!
Just got mine installed and can't wait to take it to the range! Getting the hammer pin out is easier if you put a small screwdriver between the front of the retaining spring and the frame. Twist slightly while pushing the hammer pin out. Then the retention spring will drop right out.
I installed my trigger from TK yesterday and I was able to shoot the pistol today. I like this trigger much more than the factory one. I also installed their carbon fiber barrel and it makes my Victory look really nice.
Have been to the range a couple of times since the upgrade, and REALLY like this new trigger. I am shooting much tighter groups now. That short take-up is fantastic.
I just installed the TANDEMKROSS Victory Trigger (Black) in my new, and free, S&W Victory (S&W customer service is phenomenal, if a bit slow . They replaced an old S&W22A (it had a broken rivet like pin just under the rear sight that attached a flat steel spring to the aluminum upper and held the upper to the lower at the rear) with a new Victory w/threaded barrel. Anyway, the curved trigger was really harsh on my trigger finger and needed to be replaced. After installing the TK trigger and adjusting it, I am extremely happy. It now has about 0.5 mm of take-up and no more than 0.5 mm over-travel
Good video Jake, thanks... Just installed the trigger and will take it out the next couple of days and try it... One small item, the washer that goes against the trigger was pretty tight to get in... Mine had a radius on one side which I put against the trigger... Seemed to fit in the radius of the trigger... I didn't check it before but I'm getting approx. two and a quarter pounds pull... Can't wait to try it out with real ammo instead of the snap caps... Thanks again for the instructive video...
Great trigger and video only thing I noticed is the tiny screw to lock the trigger to the release isn't in this video. Mine was a very small aluminum Allen screw that came in the kit, there is a tiny hole in the top of the trigger where it goes. Saw it in another video thankfully because I thought I missed something in your video. Love this trigger
I really like my trigger. This video makes installation a snap. My trigger had some lateral flex (especially to the left). I fixed that by wrapping the nylon washer with aluminum duct tape. The thickness went from 0.042inch to 0.051inch, so now a snug fit.
Thanks for the video...Just ordered a Volquartsen Grip, a halo ring and this trigger set. Thanks god you guys ship to Canada. Can't wait to install them :D. BTW, great customer services you guys have. Thanks again~!
Wow...love this trigger! After shooting only 10 rounds from my Victory with the newly installed TK trigger, my wife is getting one for her Victory. And she wants to install it herself. Looking forward to getting the Halo next. I probably should just order TWO. lol
We just ordered 2 hive grips 2 halos and another trigger... One hour later I get an email that said items are being shipped. Love the very fast service. BTW...My wife said if JAKE could install the trigger so could she. Sorry Jake lol
Thanks so much for your continued business! She can definitely do the trigger install - just be careful of that spring and detent (do that part in a big plastic bag) - they like to fly away!
We received Halos, Hive grips for both Victories and a trigger for Jan. She installed her trigger with no problem. Love our Tandemized Victories. Thanks for making "good guns great"!
i actually found out that sliding the washer/bushing from inside the trigger guard is easier than from above the trigger like the video shows. There is less fumbling around trying to align the washer to the pinhole.
At min 12:44 you had the trigger plunger ans spring installed during a break in filming. I missed seeing how it was done without a Launch across the room.
Just fitted mine. Super crisp. What is the third, very small grub screw for? I assume it goes in the hole at the top of the trigger (internally), but it's not explained in this video.
Glad all you guys can do the plunger/spring thing with so little problem. I can't figure out how to do it with just two hands. The trigger has to be to the rear to get the assembly in. Then you must keep down pressure on it to hold it in, and move the trigger forward to get it under the arm on the trigger bar. (And hold it there while inserting the trigger pin.) For me, the trigger cannot be repositioned forward with the downward pressure in place. Launched the assembly one too many times, spring lost, pretty angry. Really, nobody else has this issue?
That is definitely super tricky, John! Jake, who made the video above, has had LOTS of practice. Some commenters have shared tips below. We can help you out with more specific tips to the issues you're having if you give us a call at 603-369-7060 or email customerservice@tandemkross.com. We have a product tech support specialist you can work with you to address any problems. We also can get you a new spring and detent (we offer them separately because we know this part of the install is very challenging!).
The trigger kit shipped in 2018 have a set screw in the top of the trigger that must be installed. This video should be updated to reflect the hardware change.
Thanks for the reminder, David. We do make mention of the change in the video description and in our print instructions and are working on an update to the video. Unfortunately, we're a small company with a lot of videos to make! So sometimes they take some time. We appreciate your feedback.
Hi there. Nice video. Question: at the 10:32 there's a long hex wrench. Do I need this to put the screws in the trigger or can I use something else? Thanks.
thank you so much for the video took me like 30 min to install that little spring I lost 2 of them but I found them latter on so if u going to do it make sure you get those springs they r very difficult to install it love that video it's well worth it to do it yourself trigger job
After several times following your video thinking I was doing something wrong ,it ends up that the trigger bar will not engage the sear unless you press hard bottom left to right on the trigger as you pull it, it seems too sloppy even with the washer, not impressed turned a reliable gun into a non functioning one any tips would be appreciated
First, great video....one of the best out there. So easy to see what you are doing. But, question, when are you applying the Loctite? If screws are placed in before adjustment, how can you then apply? If Loctite is applied before any screw manipulation, then screws are inserted into trigger, wouldn't it set-up and therefore allow no adjustment? Sorry, just not understanding when and how to apply the Loctite.
I just removed the trigger because it would fail to reset after a magazine or two. Upon inspection the trigger was not making contact with either pre or post adjustment screws. During removal I found the mystery screw sticking almost completely out of its hole and removed it with just a twist. Was this the cause of my problem?? I don't see any purpose for this screw and since I followed the install video I probably didn't touch it so it was probably in place as I found it when I installed the trigger. Regardless I trashed the TK trigger since there is nothing wrong with the original S&W. It feels and works just fine for this .22. I prefer flat face for larger caliber guns but it serves no real purpose for this .22.
That screw is in the product installation instructions and will need to be reinstalled. It is not in the video as the inclusion predates the original video. It is necessary on some pistols, and some will not need it. It sounds like this part was not installed with thread locker and backed off potentially. This screw is needed to capture the trigger bar, or else the trigger may not reset for you.
Got the SW22 a month ago. Added rail, red dot sight, halo, extended mag pads, +1 follower and super grips. Just got the trigger too. Now I noticed I have to remove the stock grips to install the trigger, which means, I will have to ruin the super grips as they go all the way around the grip and cover the bottom screw on either side. kinda sucks.
Hi MattyJoe, Thanks for reaching out! The SuperGrips are actually designed so they can be taken on and off (for cleaning the gun, installing parts, etc) without ruining the grips. They will maintain their stickiness and go back on without a problem! Let us know if you need any additional details or tips on how best to do this.
TandemKross. What is the purpose of the extra tiny screw that is included with the "new version?" of the trigger kit? In this video I do not see that tiny screw, but the kit I purchased has it. With my trigger kit, on the top face of the trigger bar near where the plunger spring is, I see a hole where I suspect that tiny screw goes in. But I do not know what its purpose is, which is not shown in this video. Please give me some instruction. Thank you in advance!
Good question, any answers? Will be making my attempt soon with the trigger install and I notice that there is this extra tiny screw as well with no seen explanation or instruction. Help!
Started the Trigger installation yesterday. Huge problem : reinstalling safety. After pushing sear forward to get caught in the safety notch, trying to hold it by keeping the safety down, it would swivel up and disengage from the notch.. It took me a long time to get a punch to go through the Transfer Bar, Safety's two holes and the hammer, then it took me several tries pushing the hammer pin through. I had the gun clamped to a vice but one needs another three hands. After doing the rear part reassembly, I trued to get the trigger plunger and spring in.One takeoff (I had no plastic bags) of the spring and plunger lucj=kily landed where I was able to "find" it with a magnetic telescoping wand. I stopped at the stage yesterday. I wasn't even sure if my Hammer and Safety installation was correct.
Hi Ahmed, Sorry you're having trouble with the install. It can be one of our trickier installs to complete! We can offer you technical assistance and help figure out how to solve your problem if you give us a call at 603-369-7060. Our customer service team will help connect you with technical support. Hope this helps, and thank you for your business!
Thank you for your prompt reply and offer to help. I actually sent the gun AND the TK trigger to a Gunsmith in Quebec who are also the Ruger and S&W Warranty Centers. I know that their installing the TK trigger would void the warranty but, what the heck! I wanted that TK trigger installed on what I believe to be a fantastic handgun.
Sounds like a great solution, Ahmed! Hope you enjoy the trigger! This is one of our favorite guns, and the trigger is a great upgrade. Thanks for your business!
Hi there. Out of curiosity, would the new trigger void your warranty if you ever needed to send it back to S&W and they saw that you the factory trigger was removed? Couldn't you just place the factory trigger back in the gun then send it back for warranty? Also, if you're sending it to a Ruger/S&W warranty center then isn't the install covered? I'm asking because I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but I want to be sure first. Thanks.
My trigger came with a third set screw that locked on the trigger disconnect bar. Do I really tighten it or just snug it? This video needs to be updated to show this.
Thanks, Rodney. We are working on updating the instructions now. In the meantime, here is some information you can use for the install: Loosen the screw so that the disconnect bar can slide into the top of the trigger, then tighten the retaining screw down all the way. This will lock the disconnect bar to the top of the trigger and prevent it from walking forward, not allowing the trigger to reset.
With it having to be so small I was afraid of stripping the threads. I gave it a good firm turn to tighten and it didn't strip so we're good to go. I think the set screw is a good move. Halo is on and just got the TK mag followers in the mags. Next is the grip.Thanks
I recently purchased a S&W 22lr Victory pistol. I asked S&W customer service, by phone and by email, whether it was ok to dry fire this pistol. I received a yes and a no. What do you say? I notice that you dry fire during this video.
Hi there, we do dry fire our Victorys very regularly, both for testing, for videos and when using the firearms at events. While it is often recommended not to dry fire, we have not had any issues with our firearms despite heavy dry firing. Hope this helps!
@@TANDEMKROSS Thank you for your response. My local gun shop said I should use Snap Caps but they had none in stock for my Victory. After further investigating the issue I found Ii could use plastic drywall anchors that work just as well and they're $6 for a hundred pieces.
comment and question.. I installed the trigger kit and and fired 500 or so rounds. Very nice trigger. I started to have a problem with the hammer getting stuck when charging. Something is hanging up on the hammer. So I took it apart and found that the roll pin that connects the hammer and the hammer bar was really loose. It fell on the floor and I had a really hard time finding it. I came to the conclusion that dry firing causes stress on the roll pin and causes to close up causing a loose fit. Question for tandemkross. The trigger in your kit has a set screw not shown in the instructional videos. I did find a reply to a previous question that suggested loosing up the screw to set the bar and then screwing in til flush. In my case when I turn the screw in it binds on the trigger bar arm causing less than free movement. Is the hole for the screw missed drilled?
Hi there, we'd love to help get your trigger issues sorted out. If you send us an email at customerservice@tandemkross.com our team can get you in touch with one of our service techs who will be able to help you!
The Performance Center version is upgraded over the basic stock version, but you can still install most of TANDEMKROSS's SW22 upgrades in it (other than our "hiveGrips", because it comes with those). Our "Victory" trigger and "Halo" charging handle are usually what I recommend people start with for upgrades.
So I was in the process of putting in the trigger pin and the spring got loose and shot across the room. Found the spring, but not the little metal piece that goes into it. Any idea where I can get a new one? Or do I have to buy an entirely new trigger kit
We'll send you one for free. Email customerservice@tandemkross.com and tell them the issue, your shipping info, and that the guy from RUclips said we'd send you one. I also recommend watching this video before you try it again, if you haven't already. It's a trick to getting that detent in that works really well for me: ruclips.net/video/7SDnS0GaR48/видео.html
Hi there. Thanks for sending us your question. If you send us an email at customerservice@tandemkross.com or give us a call (M-F, 9am-4pm) at 603-369-7060 we can have our customer service reps or one of our techs help you out with any install issues you're having.
Hi Mattius, yes! If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, a gunsmith can definitely do this install for you. We're happy to offer support via the phone as well, if needed.
The installation instructions on the Tandemkross website (www.tandemkross.com/assets/images/Instructions/SW22VictoryTriggerInstructions_v2.pdf) show that retaining screw in step 16 of the trigger installation.
Yikes!!! Wow do you dry fire the heck out of that thing? Thank you for the detailed video. I am getting ready to drop in my new trigger, but I almost couldn't watch it. Sent me into a complete tailspin every time you did it. As someone taught never to dry fire a .22, I am wondering if I missed something. Is it ok with this pistol and other competition pistols? Dry firing would sure make it easier to set the travel limits, but I can hardly bring myself to think about it. Is that why everybody is so set on removing the mag release safety? It doesn't bother me because I don't dry fire but is it somehow better for a competition pistol. Can you help me out with some of these questions or links to more info. Thanks for making great products.
The “aggressive texture” on the trigger makes it the most uncomfortable trigger you will ever encounter. The serrated edge can be used for trimming your nails after each range trip. Feels like resting the bend of my finger on a steak knife.
TANDEMKROSS has made an additional video on the trigger installation and as with everything "TK" it is excellent!! This additional video makes it MUCH easier to install the trigger plunger and spring and is highly recommended to view BEFORE starting your trigger installation. It can be found at ruclips.net/video/7SDnS0GaR48/видео.html
What a pain in the ass this firearm is to install a TK trigger, buy a Browning Buckmark piece of cake putting in the TK trigger. I had one of these S&W Victory’s sold right after receiving and shooting my Buckmark Camper!
Go to www.fixvictory.com to purchase the Upgrade Takedown screw combination pack. The Fix: It is a permanent solution to the Takedown screw and Barrel set screw vibrating loose. It is the most inexpensive upgrade for the Smith & Wesson Victory 22LR.
You wanna talk about "have some patience." I just spent the last three hours looking for that damn spring. The thing took a journey to land behind me. My shop is much cleaner now.
Took me 3 hrs also ..chaseing little spring.
I just had the detent go shooting off across the room into another dimension. My build has stopped for now and I ordered four spring kits because this is going to drive me nuts. I'd recommend to Tandem to add two more springs and detents to each kit and tack on a $2/3 charge. I guess if I was smart enough, I would have ordered an extra three when I placed the original order.
Great products! Installed the Trigger, Mag bumpers, and Halo charging ring today. The Trigger took a solid hour. Everything went step by step like the video. TIP: After the detente and spring went flying for the 3rd tim, I grabbed a pencil with a fresh eraser on it, using the eraser end to push the detente and spring down to maneuver it under the tab.
Great tip on the trigger install, Richard! That spring and detent can be tricky. Glad you are enjoying your upgrades, and thank you for your business!
Totally agree, a hard punch was no good for the job, uded my fat finger but an eraser would have been perfect!!
I have discovered a quick way to install this and without having a spring and pin pop out. Put a 1/16” punch in the right pin hole through the trigger and stop with the punch resting lightly on the bench. Grip the trigger with your left finger and insert the spring and trigger with your thumb nail as you wiggle it in place. (Tip: If you place a piece of masking tape over top of the top of the gun and spring/pin, if it pops, it will stay in gun). Then wiggle the punch around as you look through the left pin hole. When it is aligned, insert pin. After the pin is inserted, push it through flush with trigger and insert bushing washer. The set pin. Done!
This should be in the instructions. Ceased all cussing immediately.
Bought this today at 2017 S&W IDPA Nationals , can't wait to put it in. You might remember me as a guy with accent , bragging that it's his birthday. Lol. Thank you guys for supporting the sport.
Thank YOU for trusting our parts! Looking forward to hearing how you like the trigger!
TANDEMKROSS just installed it and went pretty smooth. I'll have little video on my channel soon.
Thank you for great product
Awesome! Thank YOU for your business! Looking forward to seeing the video.
Okay I just got my new barrel and I had the trigger and captured recoil spring so I decided today 1/28/23 was the day to install them. I’m very pleased with everything from tandemkross the products are of high quality and shipping is great. The only problem is how easy you made putting the spring and plunger into the new trigger in this video. It took 12 times to finely get it and the pin to work the washer was not easy but nothing compared to that plunger and spring almost lost them three times and my dog now knows some new phrases. Luckily I was home alone or my grandson may have learned how not to fix a problem. Thanks for what you do!!
Just got my trigger installed and it's awesome.
One piece of advice to those of you following along and only half paying attention to the video as you complete each step: when installing the pre-travel adjustment screw be sure set it so it's flush with the TOP face of the trigger, not the bottom face. The screw head should be sticking out and not set to take up any pre-travel (see 10:55).
I missed that detail and ended up with a non-functioning pistol because the trigger couldn't reset. Certain I screwed something up I disassembled and installed everything a second time with the same results. Finally figured it out and felt dumb once I got it working. Learn from my mistake!
Mine moved on the first outing and wouldn't reset. As my trigger has to sit against the frame on forward travel I find no need of it but I understand that frames can vary.
Just installed mine, awesome trigger!!! Even better than I was expecting. One tip I could give is when you're installing the trigger spring and plunger, put the whole gun in a plastic freezer bag till you get the trigger pin back in. That'll save you the hassle of trying to find the plunger and spring when they come flying out of the gun on you.
Great tip! So glad you like the trigger - thank you for trusting our parts in your gun!
I have purchased a few of your products and they are ALL TOP NOTCH !!! I would like to do this trigger setup , just have to talk the wife into it , as she loves her Victory !!!
Your Videos are excellent HOW TO Videos , Thank you TandemKross !
Wow, thank you so much, Darrell! Your kind words and feedback mean so much to us :) Thank you for believing in our products!
Your very Welcome !! I Just installed the Tandemkross Mag extender ( silver ) and the red Mag Maximus" Plus1 Follower for SW22 Victory today that arrived in the mail !! Also wanted to say those 2 Cute girls are great at making how to videos !!!! and look like great responsible shooters too !!
Just finished a successful install replaying each step of the video as I progressed. Great video. It would have been really tough to complete with out the video aid. Thanks!
Thank you for your business and for the feedback, Greg! Glad you were able to successfully install your trigger :)
Good video, Jake. Let my instalation begin!!!
Looking forward to your feedback!
You make it look sooo easy...what a nightmare for an old man! Thank God I had the spring assembly that goes under the trigger bar in a large clear bag...even with using a new pencil eraser it took me 45 minutes...it just would not stay under the bar ..I finally finished after about 2 frustrating hours...take apart was a snap. I would not attempt this again and I hope all goes well tomorrow at my weekly club pistol shoot!
This is definitely our most challenging product install, Dave, so great work! We think you'll love the trigger when you get out to shoot it today, but definitely let us know if you have any issues at all! Thanks so much for your business.
Every gun should have a video like this for complete take down and assembly from the manufacturer!
I watched this video as I installed the trigger. Absolutely perfect! Great job, made it extremely easy!
I got mine and installed it without too much trouble. What a difference the TK Victory Trigger makes. I'm glad that I stumbled upon it while purchasing the 10/22 magazine takedown tool (which makes life easier when cleaning those magazines). I'm looking forward to the next bullseye match with the S&W SW22. Great job, Tandemcross!
That's great to hear, Dean! Thanks so much for your business :)
The installation of the Victory trigger was easy. I followed this video and had no troubles.
I installed my TK Victory Trigger a while back and finally gotten more range time to perform some test and tune. I found that my groups are tighter with the same ammo as I had used with the stock trigger. My original setup of the triggers adjustments were as per the video's recommendations and held true after rapid firing 6 mags in rapid succession. I fired 3 more mags to build a little heat and introduce more fouling in order to perform a real world trigger pull test. It stayed right at 2 lbs. It stayed at 2 lbs after firing 300 rounds without cleaning or additional adjustment. The flat face of this trigger will create new found trigger discipline for many shooters and or refinement of their finger placement and technique. With consistent technique you'll find very repeatable and consistent results. So far so good, I'm getting to know this trigger and the more I get to know it, the more I like it. My first impressions of this trigger are mostly positive. I only have one concern and it may be somewhat premature. The tactile feedback of the triggers return and reset are extremely soft, much softer than those of steel construction. I am attempting to acclimate to the triggers subtle feedback characteristics and as the trigger breaks in, I may find it more favorable. I hope to see more products from TK. Thank you TK, you've earned the respect you have amassed.
Wow, thank you so much, Grant! We really appreciate all of the feedback and the kind words. We always want our customers to be happy with their purchase, so this is so great to hear. Thank you very much for trusting our parts in your gun!
Very good video! Great detail shown, which is very helpful. The one thing I didn't see was the installation of the very small set screw that holds the trigger assembly to the trigger bar. I assume that anyone mechanically inclined enough to try this install, would have figured it out.
That small set screw was part of an update to the product that happened after this video was made. Now that we have consistent in-house video production, we'll be making a revamped video that includes that step as well as tips to make this install easier overall at some point in the near future.
@@TANDEMKROSS is there an updated video to show this step?
I started my disassembly yesterday and gave up after several attempts of trying to remove the pesky spring by the safety switch. I gave it hell again today for about an hour when the light bulb finally clicked. My picks were too thick making it difficult. Went and grabbed some needle nose hair tweezers and the spring was out within 10 seconds. On to assembly tomorrow. Great detailed video.
Trigger install took me 3 hrs ,chasing little spring all over the kitchen.
I'm a noob without a gun as yet, but that new trigger arrangement seems a very worthwhile investment. Great description too....
I watched this video a few times through beforehand and I was overly confident I wouldn't lose the detent. Nope, it went flying and by sheer LUCK I located it on my carpet! Highly recommend anyone attempting this to use a big sandwich bag or some type of clear bag and do that step inside there. Anyway, great trigger.
We are glad you found it! And yes, hold on to that detent!
I just did my S&W Victory tonight . I was done in about an hour and that was with the wife talking and bugging me while I was trying to work. The only thing that gave me some issue was safety catch. That thing gave me big balls for a few minutes. Be sure to out the hammer going in towards the back, I tipped the gun back to make it easier. WOW much better trigger and the feel of that flat face is very nice. It ended up at 2.35 LBS and very crisp..
Good video for installing the TK trigger. I did run into quite a bit of frustration with the hammer locking in the fully cocked position. After several complete disassembly and reassembly exercises I called Tandemkross. Eric was great and explained that some of the SW Victory frames vary a little. What was happening was that my trigger was not moving far enough forward to reset. He suggested filing a small amount ( I filed about 1/16 inch) off of the trigger where it meets the frame. He also said if I screwed up the trigger don't worry as Tandemkross would replace it since they are the ones that suggested filing it. Works great now! Smooth and I don't have any wiggle side to side on the trigger as some have found with their installs. I had heard that a modified spacer is now being shipped so that is probably what I received. Installed the Halo slide handle and ordered the mag extenders. Impressed with the products. Another note now that I think of it: the disconnect bar retaining screw was slightly binding the disconnect bar if screwed down all the way. Backed off just enough to allow the trigger to move freely forward from the spring pressure but where the bar is still held in place.
Thanks for the great feedback and for sharing your install experience, Fred. We're so happy you're pleased with the product and that Eric was able to help you get the part installed. He's a great resource for all things product support :) Thank you for your business!
Great video. I had no problems getting my trigger installed. I did take photos of the mechanisms as I went along so that I had references in case I ran into any issues.The other thing that I did was put a drop of Loctite blue on the retaining screw on the top of the trigger. I figure it can't hurt and would keep that screw from loosening up. I also purchased and installed the hive grip and halo charging ring at the same time. Can't wait to get to the range to try them out. Good job!
Hi Grant, so glad to hear you got your trigger and other upgrades in successfully - thanks for the tips! It's always good to know the tricks others are using to make this install easier :) Let us know how you like the parts once you get to the range!
After fooling around with the plunger and spring and picking them off the floor 3 times I changed the procedure. Put the disconnect bar in the trigger, screw in the set screw and install the trigger first. Then, put the spring and plunger in, turn the disconnect bar down and hook it on the sear. No fuss, no flying parts and no drama. Finish the hammer back portion and you are done. Trigger works fine. Thanks for a fine product.
Thanks for sharing your experience and install tips, Andrey! Glad you like the trigger.
Great video! I would have never taken the leap to replace the trigger without it. Can't wait to get the range to try it out.
Thanks for the feedback, Dave! Looking forward to hearing how you like it once you test it at the range. :)
That trigger is a beautiful thing. The SW22 makes you a good shooter to start with...your trigger takes it to the next level. The Halo charging handle was a huge improvement for the gun as well. These upgrades made this my favorite 22 plinking gun by far. I know I'll sound like an ad-man..but for the price these are a no-brainer if you own a SW22. (Thanks to 22plinkster for steering me your direction.)
Wow, thanks so much for the additional feedback, Dave! We're so happy to hear you're loving your upgrades! Thank you for your business!
Love the product, installed the Thunder Hammer too as long as it was all apart. But even though I was warned by the friend who turned me onto these upgrades that he launched - and lost- the spring and detent shown at 12:00, despite my best efforts I did it, miraculously found the pieces and then launched them a SECOND TIME and FOUND THEM AGAIN. Buyers beware! Sweep and sterilize your work area or buy spares like my buddy did. Or pray to St. Anthony....worked for me!
Bought this for my 12 yr old son but I want one. This Pistol is Incredible and accurate!
It really is! One of our favorite guns :)
Just got mine installed and can't wait to take it to the range! Getting the hammer pin out is easier if you put a small screwdriver between the front of the retaining spring and the frame. Twist slightly while pushing the hammer pin out. Then the retention spring will drop right out.
Thanks for the tip! We always love hearing how our customers have had success with this install. And thank you so much for your business!
I installed my trigger from TK yesterday and I was able to shoot the pistol today. I like this trigger much more than the factory one. I also installed their carbon fiber barrel and it makes my Victory look really nice.
Thanks so much for your business and for your feedback! We're so glad to hear you like the upgrades!
Have been to the range a couple of times since the upgrade, and REALLY like this new trigger. I am shooting much tighter groups now. That short take-up is fantastic.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying the trigger. And thank you for your business!
I just installed the TANDEMKROSS Victory Trigger (Black) in my new, and free, S&W Victory (S&W customer service is phenomenal, if a bit slow . They replaced an old S&W22A (it had a broken rivet like pin just under the rear sight that attached a flat steel spring to the aluminum upper and held the upper to the lower at the rear) with a new Victory w/threaded barrel. Anyway, the curved trigger was really harsh on my trigger finger and needed to be replaced. After installing the TK trigger and adjusting it, I am extremely happy. It now has about 0.5 mm of take-up and no more than 0.5 mm over-travel
Good video Jake, thanks... Just installed the trigger and will take it out the next couple of days and try it... One small item, the washer that goes against the trigger was pretty tight to get in... Mine had a radius on one side which I put against the trigger... Seemed to fit in the radius of the trigger... I didn't check it before but I'm getting approx. two and a quarter pounds pull... Can't wait to try it out with real ammo instead of the snap caps... Thanks again for the instructive video...
Thanks for the feedback, Kevin!
Very detailed and complete explanation of the trigger installation.
Thank you for a great video. I couldn't have done it without this
You're welcome!
Installed the trigger and the thunder hammer. Went from 4lbs 11oz to 2lbs 1oz....... what a difference
Great trigger and video only thing I noticed is the tiny screw to lock the trigger to the release isn't in this video. Mine was a very small aluminum Allen screw that came in the kit, there is a tiny hole in the top of the trigger where it goes. Saw it in another video thankfully because I thought I missed something in your video. Love this trigger
I really like my trigger. This video makes installation a snap.
My trigger had some lateral flex (especially to the left). I fixed that by wrapping the nylon washer with aluminum duct tape. The thickness went from 0.042inch to 0.051inch, so now a snug fit.
So glad you're happy with the trigger and that you were able to get it installed and working. We appreciate your business!
Thanks for the video...Just ordered a Volquartsen Grip, a halo ring and this trigger set. Thanks god you guys ship to Canada. Can't wait to install them :D. BTW, great customer services you guys have. Thanks again~!
Thanks for watching and for your business, Robert! We're happy you were able to get the upgrades you want and hope you love them!
excellent video, very concise and great camera work and lighting to show details.
Jake
Is dry firing a problem?
Nice presentation. 😊
Thank you.
Bob Johnson 20:31
I installed my trigger today and it works very well. I'm very pleased with the instruction video.
Thanks Michael! Glad you like it.
Wow...love this trigger! After shooting only 10 rounds from my Victory with the newly installed TK trigger, my wife is getting one for her Victory. And she wants to install it herself. Looking forward to getting the Halo next. I probably should just order TWO. lol
We love hearing these kinds of stories! Thank you so much for sharing, Bruce, and for your business!
We just ordered 2 hive grips 2 halos and another trigger... One hour later I get an email that said items are being shipped. Love the very fast service. BTW...My wife said if JAKE could install the trigger so could she. Sorry Jake lol
Thanks so much for your continued business! She can definitely do the trigger install - just be careful of that spring and detent (do that part in a big plastic bag) - they like to fly away!
We received Halos, Hive grips for both Victories and a trigger for Jan. She installed her trigger with no problem. Love our Tandemized Victories. Thanks for making "good guns great"!
Thanks so much for your support, Bruce! Glad the install went well :)
Excellent
Great resolution and lighting.
Well done!
Thanks, Michael!
Love my Victory, I need to order some stuff to customize it soon and make it even better.
It's a really fun gun to modify! Let us know if you need any upgrade recommendations : )
Appreciate your video & speed it was done at. Thank you Sir
Nicely done, good camera work. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback, Chad!
You guys might want to update your video, my trigger kit came with an additional set screw & a nylon washer/bushing other than that great video.
Thanks for the feedback!
When you put the trigger spring plunger in, depress it with a new pencial eraser
Great tip, David! Thank you!
I second that, thanks!
i actually found out that sliding the washer/bushing from inside the trigger guard is easier than from above the trigger like the video shows. There is less fumbling around trying to align the washer to the pinhole.
Great tip!
At min 12:44 you had the trigger plunger ans spring installed during a break in filming. I missed seeing how it was done without a Launch across the room.
Super nice trigger thank you for showing us how to install it
Thank you for sharing. It works really well.
You're welcome!
Just fitted mine. Super crisp. What is the third, very small grub screw for? I assume it goes in the hole at the top of the trigger (internally), but it's not explained in this video.
great video...when is the best time to add the loctite...?
Glad all you guys can do the plunger/spring thing with so little problem. I can't figure out how to do it with just two hands. The trigger has to be to the rear to get the assembly in. Then you must keep down pressure on it to hold it in, and move the trigger forward to get it under the arm on the trigger bar. (And hold it there while inserting the trigger pin.) For me, the trigger cannot be repositioned forward with the downward pressure in place. Launched the assembly one too many times, spring lost, pretty angry. Really, nobody else has this issue?
That is definitely super tricky, John! Jake, who made the video above, has had LOTS of practice. Some commenters have shared tips below. We can help you out with more specific tips to the issues you're having if you give us a call at 603-369-7060 or email customerservice@tandemkross.com. We have a product tech support specialist you can work with you to address any problems. We also can get you a new spring and detent (we offer them separately because we know this part of the install is very challenging!).
The trigger kit shipped in 2018 have a set screw in the top of the trigger that must be installed. This video should be updated to reflect the hardware change.
Thanks for the reminder, David. We do make mention of the change in the video description and in our print instructions and are working on an update to the video. Unfortunately, we're a small company with a lot of videos to make! So sometimes they take some time. We appreciate your feedback.
Hi there. Nice video. Question: at the 10:32 there's a long hex wrench. Do I need this to put the screws in the trigger or can I use something else? Thanks.
Hi there! We actually supply this wrench with the trigger when it ships! You'll have everything you need :)
thank you so much for the video took me like 30 min to install that little spring I lost 2 of them but I found them latter on so if u going to do it make sure you get those springs they r very difficult to install it love that video it's well worth it to do it yourself trigger job
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you were able to get the trigger installed - those springs can be tricky! We've lost some ourselves :)
After several times following your video thinking I was doing something wrong ,it ends up that the trigger bar will not engage the sear unless you press hard bottom left to right on the trigger as you pull it, it seems too sloppy even with the washer, not impressed turned a reliable gun into a non functioning one any tips would be appreciated
How do you make the bolt stop easier to release
What is the extra little silver screw for in this kit ?
Just did the install. All went well until the trigger spring and pin. That was a bitch! glad it's done. Great video
Haha it is a tough one! Glad to hear you got through it successfully!
Good job ty 👍👍
Thanks Jake. Made my instal a snap
First, great video....one of the best out there. So easy to see what you are doing. But, question, when are you applying the Loctite? If screws are placed in before adjustment, how can you then apply? If Loctite is applied before any screw manipulation, then screws are inserted into trigger, wouldn't it set-up and therefore allow no adjustment? Sorry, just not understanding when and how to apply the Loctite.
I just removed the trigger because it would fail to reset after a magazine or two. Upon inspection the trigger was not making contact with either pre or post adjustment screws. During removal I found the mystery screw sticking almost completely out of its hole and removed it with just a twist. Was this the cause of my problem?? I don't see any purpose for this screw and since I followed the install video I probably didn't touch it so it was probably in place as I found it when I installed the trigger. Regardless I trashed the TK trigger since there is nothing wrong with the original S&W. It feels and works just fine for this .22. I prefer flat face for larger caliber guns but it serves no real purpose for this .22.
That screw is in the product installation instructions and will need to be reinstalled. It is not in the video as the inclusion predates the original video. It is necessary on some pistols, and some will not need it. It sounds like this part was not installed with thread locker and backed off potentially. This screw is needed to capture the trigger bar, or else the trigger may not reset for you.
Thank you, will purchase from Tandemkross. Great video
Thank you, John! We really appreciate your business.
I've read that dry firing the victory will damage the firing pin??
Got the SW22 a month ago. Added rail, red dot sight, halo, extended mag pads, +1 follower and super grips. Just got the trigger too. Now I noticed I have to remove the stock grips to install the trigger, which means, I will have to ruin the super grips as they go all the way around the grip and cover the bottom screw on either side. kinda sucks.
Hi MattyJoe, Thanks for reaching out! The SuperGrips are actually designed so they can be taken on and off (for cleaning the gun, installing parts, etc) without ruining the grips. They will maintain their stickiness and go back on without a problem! Let us know if you need any additional details or tips on how best to do this.
thanks I did not know that, that trigger will be in this weekend
Happy to help!
TandemKross. What is the purpose of the extra tiny screw that is included with the "new version?" of the trigger kit? In this video I do not see that tiny screw, but the kit I purchased has it. With my trigger kit, on the top face of the trigger bar near where the plunger spring is, I see a hole where I suspect that tiny screw goes in. But I do not know what its purpose is, which is not shown in this video. Please give me some instruction. Thank you in advance!
Good question, any answers? Will be making my attempt soon with the trigger install and I notice that there is this extra tiny screw as well with no seen explanation or instruction. Help!
Veda Sullivan. They said that small screw is to hold the trigger guide in place. Just tight it in that small hole with some blue lock tie
Started the Trigger installation yesterday. Huge problem
: reinstalling safety. After pushing sear forward to get caught in the safety notch, trying to hold it by keeping the safety down, it would swivel up and disengage from the notch.. It took me a long time to get a punch to go through the Transfer Bar, Safety's two holes and the hammer, then it took me several tries pushing the hammer pin through. I had the gun clamped to a vice but one needs another three hands.
After doing the rear part reassembly, I trued to get the trigger plunger and spring in.One takeoff (I had no plastic bags) of the spring and plunger lucj=kily landed where I was able to "find" it with a magnetic telescoping wand. I stopped at the stage yesterday. I wasn't even sure if my Hammer and Safety installation was correct.
Hi Ahmed, Sorry you're having trouble with the install. It can be one of our trickier installs to complete! We can offer you technical assistance and help figure out how to solve your problem if you give us a call at 603-369-7060. Our customer service team will help connect you with technical support. Hope this helps, and thank you for your business!
Thank you for your prompt reply and offer to help. I actually sent the gun AND the TK trigger to a Gunsmith in Quebec who are also the Ruger and S&W Warranty Centers. I know that their installing the TK trigger would void the warranty but, what the heck! I wanted that TK trigger installed on what I believe to be a fantastic handgun.
Sounds like a great solution, Ahmed! Hope you enjoy the trigger! This is one of our favorite guns, and the trigger is a great upgrade. Thanks for your business!
Hi there. Out of curiosity, would the new trigger void your warranty if you ever needed to send it back to S&W and they saw that you the factory trigger was removed? Couldn't you just place the factory trigger back in the gun then send it back for warranty? Also, if you're sending it to a Ruger/S&W warranty center then isn't the install covered? I'm asking because I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but I want to be sure first. Thanks.
32icon Yes. I discussed this with the armourer. The warranty is voided. But I had reached an impasse.
Question. Why doesn't my plunger fit in my spring? Is this a new feature?
Great video, helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
My trigger came with a third set screw that locked on the trigger disconnect bar. Do I really tighten it or just snug it? This video needs to be updated to show this.
Thanks, Rodney. We are working on updating the instructions now. In the meantime, here is some information you can use for the install: Loosen the screw so that the disconnect bar can slide into the top of the trigger, then tighten the retaining screw down all the way. This will lock the disconnect bar to the top of the trigger and prevent it from walking forward, not allowing the trigger to reset.
With it having to be so small I was afraid of stripping the threads. I gave it a good firm turn to tighten and it didn't strip so we're good to go. I think the set screw is a good move. Halo is on and just got the TK mag followers in the mags. Next is the grip.Thanks
you test without caps... I might be a newby, isn't that not done with rimfires ?
I recently purchased a S&W 22lr Victory pistol. I asked S&W customer service, by phone and by email, whether it was ok to dry fire this pistol. I received a yes and a no. What do you say? I notice that you dry fire during this video.
Hi there, we do dry fire our Victorys very regularly, both for testing, for videos and when using the firearms at events. While it is often recommended not to dry fire, we have not had any issues with our firearms despite heavy dry firing. Hope this helps!
@@TANDEMKROSS Thank you for your response. My local gun shop said I should use Snap Caps but they had none in stock for my Victory. After further investigating the issue I found Ii could use plastic drywall anchors that work just as well and they're $6 for a hundred pieces.
@@ticleve2 Great tip!!! Glad you got it figured out :)
Also, do you all recommend cleaning the bare piece prior to reassembly? Mine seems to have a good amount of residue after about 500 rounds.
Great. Video Jake!
comment and question.. I installed the trigger kit and and fired 500 or so rounds. Very nice trigger. I started to have a problem with the hammer getting stuck when charging. Something is hanging up on the hammer. So I took it apart and found that the roll pin that connects the hammer and the hammer bar was really loose. It fell on the floor and I had a really hard time finding it. I came to the conclusion that dry firing causes stress on the roll pin and causes to close up causing a loose fit.
Question for tandemkross. The trigger in your kit has a set screw not shown in the instructional videos. I did find a reply to a previous question that suggested loosing up the screw to set the bar and then screwing in til flush. In my case when I turn the screw in it binds on the trigger bar arm causing less than free movement. Is the hole for the screw missed drilled?
Hi there, we'd love to help get your trigger issues sorted out. If you send us an email at customerservice@tandemkross.com our team can get you in touch with one of our service techs who will be able to help you!
Just installed mine today!
Awesome! Hope you love shooting with it!
Great video!! I recently picked up a performance center Victory. Any recommendations on upgrades? Or is the performance center model "The upgrade?"
The Performance Center version is upgraded over the basic stock version, but you can still install most of TANDEMKROSS's SW22 upgrades in it (other than our "hiveGrips", because it comes with those). Our "Victory" trigger and "Halo" charging handle are usually what I recommend people start with for upgrades.
@@TANDEMKROSS thank you for the recommendation.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
So I was in the process of putting in the trigger pin and the spring got loose and shot across the room. Found the spring, but not the little metal piece that goes into it. Any idea where I can get a new one? Or do I have to buy an entirely new trigger kit
We'll send you one for free. Email customerservice@tandemkross.com and tell them the issue, your shipping info, and that the guy from RUclips said we'd send you one.
I also recommend watching this video before you try it again, if you haven't already. It's a trick to getting that detent in that works really well for me: ruclips.net/video/7SDnS0GaR48/видео.html
@@TANDEMKROSS after spending an hour on the floor with my head lamp on I finally found it and got it installed! Thanks for the offer though.

Do you install the trigger in house? thks
I love " do it yourself videos " as much as gun smith's must hate them.Thank you.Where do I get the trigger & what do I ask for ?
I am not very familiar or comfortable installing a new trigger, are most gun shops able to do this for a cost?
Hi Mattius, yes! If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, a gunsmith can definitely do this install for you. We're happy to offer support via the phone as well, if needed.
TANDEMKROSS thank you! the race kit on your site was perfect thank you
So glad to hear that!
Lost the trigger spring pin ....
Just installed mine you never updated the Video to show the retaining screw! had have to take it apart again fun fun please update your vid
The installation instructions on the Tandemkross website (www.tandemkross.com/assets/images/Instructions/SW22VictoryTriggerInstructions_v2.pdf) show that retaining screw in step 16 of the trigger installation.
Yikes!!! Wow do you dry fire the heck out of that thing? Thank you for the detailed video. I am getting ready to drop in my new trigger, but I almost couldn't watch it. Sent me into a complete tailspin every time you did it. As someone taught never to dry fire a .22, I am wondering if I missed something. Is it ok with this pistol and other competition pistols? Dry firing would sure make it easier to set the travel limits, but I can hardly bring myself to think about it. Is that why everybody is so set on removing the mag release safety? It doesn't bother me because I don't dry fire but is it somehow better for a competition pistol. Can you help me out with some of these questions or links to more info. Thanks for making great products.
Settle down Elmer... the sw22 hammer design isn’t the same as grannies revolver.
The “aggressive texture” on the trigger makes it the most uncomfortable trigger you will ever encounter. The serrated edge can be used for trimming your nails after each range trip. Feels like resting the bend of my finger on a steak knife.
TANDEMKROSS has made an additional video on the trigger installation and as with everything "TK" it is excellent!! This additional video makes it MUCH easier to install the trigger plunger and spring and is highly recommended to view BEFORE starting your trigger installation. It can be found at ruclips.net/video/7SDnS0GaR48/видео.html
Please make sure you turn off all RUclips "video enhancements" when you upload. It screws up video pretty bad.
Why are you using super glue? You say "locktite, but you show locktite superglue. Just don't want to super glue it if that's not the intention.
What a pain in the ass this firearm is to install a TK trigger, buy a Browning Buckmark piece of cake putting in
the TK trigger. I had one of these S&W Victory’s sold right after receiving and shooting my Buckmark Camper!
Go to www.fixvictory.com to purchase the Upgrade Takedown screw combination pack. The Fix: It is a permanent solution to the Takedown screw and Barrel set screw vibrating loose. It is the most inexpensive upgrade for the Smith & Wesson Victory 22LR.

that's not a trigger upgrade. stock is fine
This could of been done without taking the whole thing apart!
What a pain in the arse.
