Have you filled the mags with Hoppe’s # 9 and shaken and soaked them?
Maybe a new recoil spring, as well.
No. I’ll give it a try.
These bullets are basically magic. They deliver the same mass and velocity as the much more expensive 5.56 subsonic loadings. When fired from a 20 inch barrel they are hearing safe and will cycle a blow-back action. I use these when I work with dogs (I never could get them to wear the hearing protection).
Everybody needs to get a pallet load of Aguila 60gr SSS while they can.
A sub-box of 50 will be like an un-inflatable $50 dollar bill in the dystopian future.
Yeah, they’re a little dirtier than most. So what.
I love my standard TX22, green grip, black top. I changed to a red fiber optic front sight. Very easy. My old eyes love it. It’s like having a red-dot sight out on the end of the slide. Focus on the target, the bright red dot is clear in your view.
I consider it the perfect full-size, striker-fired training pistol. Handles exactly like a Glock, Springfield etc. Same size, same controls, just lighter.
IMHO it’s the PERFECT pistol for a first day at the range breaking in a newbie.
IMHO, the most value-added we Boomers can provide is training newbies in firearms handling and marksmanship. The Taurus TX22 is PERFECT in that role, and holds a full 16 rounds just like a Glock, XD, etc. Give them 100 rounds thru the TX22, then transition them to center-fire calibers. Teach them basic pistol 101 before adding weight, recoil, and blast.
I love my TX22. First Taurus I ever bought, after many strong recommendations. I love it. And comes threaded for a suppressor with a thread protector and adapter as part of the standard package. Very smart.
Taurus engineers told me the twist rate was a deliberate design change to increase back pressure, to make cycling more reliable ...
Yes, that was the reason they gave.
Of course, it also stabilizes longer, heavier bullets.
It has 90% of the energy of the 60 grain bullet out of a rifle. Greater energy than the 60 grain out of a pistol. All subsonic.
Cheaper than the Aguila.
Not sure why they published it twice.
I have had it happen before.
Might be something they do with popular articles?
No, but we had a great time in the hills at the back of the base sledding down the long roads! Bit, yes…the blueberries and wild raspberries were fantastic!
My family visited in the summer of ‘71. I had an uncle stationed there. Quite the adventure for a 10-year-old.
I also have an old AR-7 that groups almost as well as the 10/22s. Love me some .22s.
Did you ever play with Paco Kelly’s .22 modifying tools?
I have a 1976 centennial model that I bought at the local department store. The standard Ruger 10 round mags and the BX-15 mags seem to work the best.
I do think they should have stayed with the aluminum trigger housing.
I read about them, but have not played with them.
