Picked up my splatter green yesterday. Threaded barrel with threaded supressor adapter included. Cheap mag loader included which works. 2 mags.

Good. So far 100 cci blazer (2015), 50 aguila super extra 38 hp (2019), 60 (thunderbolt). 100 percent on all. Magazines are actually numbered 1 and 2. Trigger is very nice, I would compare break to my ppq 9mm with a bit more reset. I shoot 8 and 10 inch steel plates at 25 yards on my range and once I adjusted sights nice accuracy. <300 price. Grip good and a joy to shoot. The safety works nice and is a small enough blade it feels like it is not there when shooting. The trigger guard is undercut nicely (I had to dremel glock 36 and 41 as was hurting knuckle).

Bad. Rear sight is crap. Adjustment is terrible. Seems like elevation screw is a cam and it cams over after a few shots. I'll probly just locktite or glue when I am happy. I shot blazer first and after a mag i tried tbolts and I had extreme leading. I cleaned with chore boy since was first shots. With aguila and blazer it shot well then tried 1 mag of tbolts and had leading again.

Not sure what I will do. I will shoot more tbolts as i have some left and will never buy again. If i switch to blazers and other economy ammo with no leading i will be happy as this is a minute of beer can fun plinker. I have not tried mininags yet as I wanted a pistol that shoots anything. I'll try automatch sometime but I bet it works well. The rear sight is what it is.

That's a pretty little plinker you have there.
I've got one in FDE, and absolutely love it.
It's accurate and so far been flawless.
I know this doesn't look like accuracy, but I got to where I could shoot pretty good groups with it. :)

Nice pistols. How is the riffling on these pistols? I heard that some bores are pretty rough, uneven riffling or gouges in riffling.
 
I have two with pretty wide spread Ser#. No rifling problems in either. Maybe a short run of bad barrels? Both pistols are very accurate and the reliability is pretty amazing since we all know .22 ammunition is fickle. I especially like the grip on the TX22. Very happy with these pistols. IMG_3703.JPG
 
I have enjoyed my TX a lot, but have stopped using pure lead rounds and shoot only a clad bullet. Mini Mags work great without the fouling. Stingers are a blast, ( no pun intended), that run clean and accurate.

A fun gun worth the price and ammo needs.
