You know the feeling. You’re at the range with your Taurus TX22, and the trigger pull just feels… soft. The reset is vague, and for a shooter who appreciates mechanics, it leaves you wanting more control, more feedback, more of that crisp, definitive action that turns a plinking session into a technical exercise. I’ve built my career on platforms for people who don’t just shoot—they tinker, they understand, they demand performance from every component. The stock trigger on the TX22 is reliable, but it’s built for mass appeal, not for the enthusiast who feels the sear engagement in their bones. That’s where this kit enters the conversation. It’s not about turning your .22 into something it’s not; it’s about refining what it is into the most responsive, mechanically satisfying version of itself.

Let’s talk about what a forced reset trigger, or FRT, actually does in a rimfire platform like the TX22. Unlike a binary trigger, an FRT system uses the recoil or bolt movement to mechanically force the trigger forward and reset it the instant the bolt closes, provided you maintain rearward pressure on the trigger. This allows for a significantly increased rate of controlled fire compared to a standard semi-auto trigger. The engineering challenge is making a system that’s reliable with .22 LR ammunition, which can be notoriously dirty and underpowered compared to centerfire rounds. This kit addresses that by using a robust, simple mechanism and high-grade materials to ensure consistent function shot after shot.
The heart of this upgrade is the material. We’re looking at precision-machined 416 stainless steel for the critical components. From an armorer’s perspective, this is a deliberate choice. 416 stainless offers an excellent balance of machinability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to be heat-treated to a high hardness. This isn’t a stamped or MIM part; it’s a solid piece of metal that’s been cut to exacting tolerances. The finish is a clean, matte stainless that resists fouling and makes cleaning a straightforward process—a critical factor for any .22 LR component that will see heavy use.
Installation is designed for the competent end-user. If you’re comfortable detail-stripping your TX22 to remove the factory fire control group, you can install this kit. It’s a direct drop-in replacement for the factory trigger, disconnector, and associated springs. No permanent modification to your firearm is required. I always recommend having a set of quality punches and a solid workspace. The process mirrors what you’d see in any detailed disassembly video from major gun channels, and once installed, the difference is immediately apparent upon function checking.
The performance shift is tangible. The forced reset action provides a distinct, positive tactile and audible click as it resets. This allows for much faster follow-up shots while maintaining a consistent trigger finger position. For training drills or competitive rimfire events where split times matter, this mechanical advantage is significant. It transforms the shooting experience from a passive pull-and-reset cycle into an active, engaged process where you’re working with the mechanism’s rhythm.
Pros and Cons: A Balanced Assessment
✅ Material Quality: 416 stainless steel construction provides superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to the factory components or cheaper aftermarket options.
✅ Performance Enhancement: Delivers a faster, more consistent rate of fire and a definitive tactile reset that improves shooter control and feedback.
✅ Drop-in Installation: Requires no gunsmithing, welding, or permanent alteration to your Taurus TX22, preserving its original configuration.
✅ Reliability Focused: Designed specifically for the TX22 platform and the unique challenges of .22 LR cycling, leading to strong performance with standard and high-velocity ammunition.
✅ Value Proposition: At $125, it occupies a middle ground between questionable budget imports and ultra-premium custom shops, offering proven performance without an exorbitant cost.
❌ Learning Curve: The forced reset function requires a specific technique (maintaining rearward pressure) to utilize. It’s not a simple pull-and-release like a standard trigger, which can be counterintuitive at first.
❌ Ammunition Sensitivity: Like any performance trigger system in a .22, it may exhibit occasional hiccups with sub-standard or extremely low-powered ammunition. It performs best with reliable, name-brand rounds.
❌ Not for Beginners: This is a component for experienced owners who understand their firearm’s mechanics. If you’ve never stripped your TX22 beyond a field strip, this might be a more advanced project than you’re ready for. For those seeking a simpler upgrade, see our standard trigger kits for a more straightforward enhancement.
Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This Kit
Buy it if: You are a Taurus TX22 owner who uses it frequently for training, competition, or recreational shooting and wants to maximize its mechanical potential. You’re comfortable with intermediate-level firearm disassembly and enjoy understanding how things work. You value durable materials and are willing to practice a new technique to unlock a faster, more engaging shooting rhythm.
Skip it if: You are a new firearm owner or are not confident in your ability to reassemble your TX22’s fire control group. You are looking for a simple, lighter pull weight and don’t care about reset speed—in that case, a traditional aftermarket trigger is a better fit. Your primary use for the TX22 is casual, infrequent plinking where the stock trigger is perfectly adequate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Taurus TX22 FRT kit legal?
This is a forced reset trigger (FRT) kit. As of March 2026, it is legal for purchase and installation in most states for use in semi-automatic firearms. However, laws are subject to change and vary by local jurisdiction. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to understand and comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding firearm modifications. We do not ship to jurisdictions where such items are prohibited.
How difficult is the installation?
Installation is intermediate-level. You must be able to fully disassemble your TX22 to remove the factory fire control group and replace it with this kit. If you can follow a detailed YouTube tutorial for a full TX22 teardown, you can likely handle it. If you’re unsure, consult a qualified gunsmith.
Will this work with my Taurus TX22 Compact?
No. The Taurus TX22 Compact uses a different fire control system and frame size. This kit is specifically designed for the full-size Taurus TX22 models. It is not compatible with the TX22 Compact.
What ammunition works best with this FRT kit?
For the most reliable forced reset function, use standard or high-velocity 40-grain round nose .22 LR ammunition from reputable brands like CCI, Federal, or Aguila. The system relies on consistent bolt velocity to reset the trigger. Sub-sonic or extremely low-power ammunition may not provide enough energy for consistent reset.
Does this affect the trigger pull weight?
The primary function is to alter the reset, not drastically change the pull weight. The pull weight will feel similar to or slightly different from stock, but the dramatic change is in the speed and positivity of the reset. The feel becomes more mechanical and immediate.
