Thanks for this. Just got the TX22 TORO and I want to clean it before I even take it out. It looks really easy to clean so that's awesome. I bought quite a few different types of ammo for it so I can test different ones out, depending on where I shoot I might clean it after each type each and see which ones are cleaner shooting. All the boxes are 300 or 375 so I'm expecting that'll be enough to spot the differences. Looking forward to it!

I bought one of these brand new for a song about 5 years ago. It sat in my safe until today. Took it to the range straight out of the box and raw dogged it like an idiot. Jammed halfway thru the first mag. And here I am 😂

Use the speed loader that comes with it and hopefully the cleaning will take care of jamming issues. Also, use CCI mini mag 22LR ammo and you should be good.

[@dennisgraham3087]

I recently purchased one of these and took it to the range, it printed very nicely. ( cleaned it afterwards) However my second time out it began acting up. shooting way off target. So, I've cleaned it again. Hoping my nest trip to the range it will shoot better.

[@ron8566]

I generally shoot 400-500 rounds each time I’m at the range with no issues. The only ammo issue I had an issue with was with 36 grain hollow points. I think that ammo is not powerful enough to fully cycle the slide. BTW, as I mentioned above, I shoot lots of rounds and clean it every other range outing. This firearm stays relatively clean for a 22.

[@travisp11]

I agree. It does cycle well in general with a variety of ammo and cleaning isn’t any more difficult than any other semi auto pistol that I own.

When you took it apart, it looked like it was soaked. Way too much oil, id never run that much on any gun. Might explain the grittiness. I just bought same gun today, do they need to run that much oil? Will it run bulk 36 gr or does it need 40 gr. Thanks it still looked to wet to me on assembly. Did it run?

[@travisp11]

I keep contact points lightly coated and with CCI mini mags have never had a problem. They also use Clenzoil on a regular basis as it has a tendency to dry a little after application but still leave proper lubrication and finish protection.

Thank you great video, This helps me alot. I have the tx22 and the equalizer. You helped me in both.

[@TheJcrandazzo]

Good job, however oil is an attractant for dirt and powder fouling. Minimal oiling is ideal however the wear areas and sliding surfaces should be well lubed as well as the outside especially in humid and wet environments. Surgically placement of oil is the best idea as too much can be a negative. Dont forget the magazine .

[@travisp11]

Yup. I usually mention at the start of the video that we won’t be disassembling the magazine but that users can it they wish. Sometimes those mags are made with assembly oil or grease and can get a build up of debris.

The mags are almost the most important part to clean thoroughly.

Nope but you can wipe off any excess before reassembly.

[@kpatt2006]

I put my tx22 back together and seems like the gap between the slide and gun body where it says Bainbridge, GA has gotten wider. I just got the gun earlier this week and don't remember the gap. While holding it up looking at it, it's actually wide enough that I can see the spring inside through the gap. Is that normal? I'm making sure the spring is pushed down all the way before reassembling, but can't make the gap any smaller.

[@travisp11]

That seems a bit excessive. Does is dry fire like normal? You can sometimes see the recoil spring in some guns when they are assembled. It is fires like normal I wouldn’t worry about it but if it has any cycling issues, send it in.

My slide would not break loose, even with the takedown lever lowered. Others have complained of the same problem with new pistols. If you've followed all the other steps and the slide won't budge, give it a good whack from the rear to the front, while holding the takedown lever down. That should get the slide loose and then you can proceed as normal.

@@travisp11 yeah, basically I just like to run 40gr high velocity for a while before trying something cheaper (bulk) that's less consistently loaded. That way any burrs from cheaper manufacturing processes and friction areas wear in, they become a little more reliable with cheap ammo. (At least that's what I think happened with Gizzard Gary's TX22)
