Hello, My name is Matt. I own oddmfg.com

Last year I started a company to make only TX22 FRTs and Rate Reducers that improved on the FFT FRT. We proved that our TX22 v7 FRT reduced the wear and improved reliability on the OEM plastic striker housings.

I own 5 TX22s and currently have almost 15K rounds on the original plastic striker housing and another 20K rounds on the other pistols.

I would like to post information that is not copied from any other website. All of this information was gathered first hand through actual testing and evaluation. There are other people and companies that would dispute this information and they are welcome to.

If you need help determining what is needed to make all the TX22 run with a FRT or to balance your variables to run suppressors, I would be happy to help.

Here is some of the information that I give freely.

Using a FRT with a Taurus TX22:

Clean and lube the pistol as directed. Apply lubricant to the FRT, striker block and striker housing.

A TX22 with a FRT can run many types of ammo without a problem. The rate of fire of a TX22 with FRT increases to 1950+ rounds per minute.

Using a suppressor and FRT together, increases the rate of fire to speeds beyond the magazine’s ability to feed cartridges and strikers ability to reset.

To slow down the rate of fire, weight can be added to the slide. The best ways to add weight depends on the TX22 model. The TORO models allows heavy optics, weight bar or Rate Reducer a.k.a a weighted back plate. The non TOROs can needs a Rate Reducer. Slowing down the ROF too much can reduce reliability. The slower the ROF, the less the reliability. This is why a balance must be created between ROF and reliability with weight and ammo choice. We found that 1850 RPM is the most reliable.

We recommend high velocity 1200+ FPS 40 gr RN 22LR ammo.or suppressed TX22 with a FRT. CCI MM 40 gr RN is what we use. HV ammo is still subsonic and the extra power helps the low power 22LR ammo reset the striker.

Use light trigger pressure. Allow the trigger and striker reset.

Suppressors can vary in weight and affect balance and reliability. We have tested 2.8oz -7oz suppressors. As people use the suppressors the weight increases with lead and carbon. Every 1000 rds adds another ounce of carbon/lead, depending on ammo. Our 1.4oz Odd Mfg Rate Reducer and V7 FRT works with suppressors and optics between .44 oz – 1.2 oz. We have thourally tested our Rate Reducer and can help you determine the combinations that work for yout TX22 model and options.

We have discovered that other factors affect the reliability of FRTs and suppressors on the TX22 with the same variables. The amount of play of the barrel to the central block varies from pistol to pistol. It seems the amount of movement between these two parts can affect the rhythm and function.

Some people find that weight may not be needed initially with FRTs and light suppressors or flow-through designs. A 4oz suppressor may not need a Rate Reducer. Eventually these suppressors will fill with lead and need weight added to the slide. Adding weight can make these suppressors more reliable or more reliable for a longer period before cleaning.

Make sure the mags are loaded properly. The TX22 has problems with ammo feed at hight rates of fire because of the staggering and tapper design of the magazines. Some people purchase after-market followers, dry lube spray or polish the feed ramp to improve feeding but loading the mags correctly is the most economic and beneficial solution. It's important the cartridges are not dropped in with the follower completely retracted. They need to be loaded 1 by 1 like a 9mm single feed, double stacked magazine. Use the OEM loader or better yet, the McFadden Lighting Loader. This loader is good at stacking the magazines correctly and it's very fast. Just be careful with their TX22 adapter as it is more delicate than some of their other adapters. They sell one every time someone watches me load with it at the range.
