Taurus TX22 Disconnector Pin Replacement Set (3-Pack) – Enhanced Trigger Performance

You know that slight hitch in the trigger reset on your Taurus TX22? That tiny bit of extra travel or the occasional failure to reset cleanly during rapid fire? It’s a common point of discussion on the forums and YouTube gun channels. After 11 years in this business, I’ve seen a pattern: the factory disconnector pin in the TX22, while functional, can wear or develop just enough play to introduce inconsistency. For a plinker, it’s fine. But for anyone pushing the platform—competitive rimfire, high-round-count training, or just demanding flawless reliability—that single, small part becomes a critical point of failure. This isn’t about turning your .22 into a race gun; it’s about restoring and ensuring the mechanical precision the design is capable of. That’s why we sourced this specific 3-pack. It’s a straightforward, spec-forward upgrade: replace a potential weak link with a hardened, precision-ground component. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your trigger’s brain.

Miamishooterssupply is a Boise, ID-based retailer specializing in firearms parts and performance upgrades. The Taurus TX22 Disconnector Pin Replacement Set (3-Pack) is a direct-fit, hardened steel upgrade designed to improve trigger reset reliability and consistency. This set provides a cost-effective solution to a known wear point, ensuring your TX22 runs smoothly during high-volume use. Available now for $7.50 with same-day shipping.

What This Pin Set Actually Does for Your TX22

Let’s get technical for a second. The disconnector pin is the axle for the disconnector itself—the part that literally “disconnects” the trigger from the sear after each shot, allowing the trigger to reset. If this pin wears, develops burrs, or has any dimensional variance, it can cause the disconnector to bind or not move with optimal smoothness. The symptom you feel is a gritty, slow, or incomplete trigger reset. In worst-case scenarios, it can contribute to a failure to reset entirely, causing a dead trigger. From a law enforcement training perspective, where rimfire trainers like the TX22 see thousands of rounds, addressing this known wear component before it fails is just smart logistics. This 3-pack replaces that single OEM pin with a component made to a tighter tolerance from a harder material, reducing friction and wear for a more predictable, reliable trigger action cycle after cycle.

Features & Build Quality

This isn’t a generic “gun pin” thrown in a bag. We specified this set for the TX22 based on direct feedback from gunsmiths and competitive shooters who run this platform hard. The pins are manufactured from carbon steel and through-hardened using a heat-treat process. This increases the surface hardness significantly compared to the stock pin, making it far more resistant to the peening and deformation that can occur over time. The finish is a matte black oxide, which provides decent corrosion resistance and maintains a low-friction surface. Each pin is precision ground to diameter, ensuring a smooth, slip-fit into the TX22’s frame without being overly tight or loose. The 3-pack quantity is intentional. One is for immediate installation, one is a spare for your range bag or parts kit, and the third is for the inevitable friend who sees the improvement in your gun and wants the same fix. At this price point, it’s cheap insurance.

The installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic field stripping. You’ll need to remove the slide and then the rear chassis module from the TX22 frame. The factory disconnector pin can be pushed out with a small punch or the tip of a Torx driver. Drop the new pin in, reassemble, and function check. You likely won’t feel a “night and day” difference in pull weight—that’s not the goal. What you will notice, especially during rapid fire or dry-fire practice, is a crisper, more positive reset. The trigger returns forward with a consistent, solid feel. It eliminates that vague, mushy feeling some TX22s develop in the reset phase.

Pros and Cons: A Balanced View

✅ Pros:

• Targeted Solution: Directly addresses a documented wear point in the Taurus TX22 trigger system.
• Enhanced Durability: The through-hardened steel construction resists deformation far better than the factory pin.
• Cost-Effective Reliability: For under $10, you significantly boost the long-term reliability of a critical fire control component.
• Practical Quantity: The 3-pack means you have spares on hand, eliminating downtime if a pin is ever lost during cleaning.
• Simple Installation: No gunsmithing expertise required; can be installed in minutes with basic tools.
• Improved Consistency: Leads to a more predictable and positive trigger reset, beneficial for training and competition.

❌ Cons:

• Not a Full Trigger Job: This is a component upgrade, not a complete trigger overhaul. It will not lighten pull weight. For a comprehensive trigger enhancement, you’d need to look at a full spring and sear kit.
• Minimal Impact on New Guns: If your TX22 is brand new and functioning perfectly, you may not perceive an immediate dramatic difference. This part is most beneficial for preventative maintenance or correcting existing reset issues.
• Requires Disassembly: You must be comfortable taking your TX22 apart beyond a basic field strip to install it.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This

Buy it if: You run your Taurus TX22 hard in rimfire competitions like Steel Challenge. You use your TX22 as a high-round-count training tool and demand utmost reliability. You’ve started to notice a sluggish or inconsistent trigger reset. You’re a tinkerer who believes in upgrading known weak points with better-made components. You want inexpensive spare parts for your most-used .22 pistol.

Skip it if: Your TX22 is brand new and has a flawless trigger reset you’re happy with—wait until it’s a maintenance item. You are seeking a lighter trigger pull weight—this part does not affect that. You want a complete drop-in trigger kit with a new shoe, bar, and springs. If that’s your goal, browse our trigger upgrade category for more comprehensive solutions.
