TANDEMKROSS - Fiber Optic Front Sight for Taurus™ TX22 - Install Instructions

[@zebra61]

Looks like a nice upgrade for the TX22. Just curious why it costs $6 for shipping such a tiny component? I would imagine a First Class stamp (55 cents) would be sufficient for domestic delivery.

[@johnlshilling1446]

Shipping and "handling", perhaps? Gotta pay someone a "living wage" to package it, label it, deliver to the PO? LOL!

[@wlswbs]

👍

[@joshmajor8662]

Or you could just not be an idiot and search alittle for that “free shipping” code that a 10 yr old could find haha 😂 just a thought tho Lol

[@robertsilver5130]

I installed mine about a month ago. No question it dramatically improves the site picture/target acquisition. I think mine came with the longer hex wrench -- regardless, installation was a breeze. Highly recommended if you have the TX22.

[@deryaner35]

Did this conversion today. I’m 81 and usually mess things up badly, but this went quite well! Happy with it, now I need to put it to use!

[@WV591]

Now you guys need to make steel magazines for this gun with same capacity.

[@milspecmachine3014]

Amazing ingenuity and product as usual ! I'm really a big fan of all your products, it is no secret that you will be a household name in the Firearms industry in the near future! Thanks for sharing yet another great product with us...... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@flpnovr2]

Just installed mine today. Looks to be pretty decent quality. I'm happy with the purchase! As others have mentioned, why haven't you guys come up with a rear sight to match? Just curious.

[@thepistolguy859]

I just ordered my sight and the one in this video looks alot better my fiber optic looked like it was too long when burnt and its a huge circle in the front these in the video look alot cleaner.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

that is very strange, feel free to call our customer service on our website and we will take care of you!

[@16bluebayou]

Just ordered one today. Lots of good reviews and looks easy to install per the video. Better order them quick though because the shipping is getting to be more and more. 5 months ago it was $6 per comments below. Today when I ordered it was $8.75!

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

I like the serrations on the sight housing. I bought one from lakeline and it does not have the serrations and it catches some glare at certain angles. the mounting screw is nearly too small as well. It's far better than the stock sight but damn. Im going to use the stock mounting screw if the threads will match up. I don't know why anyone would make a replacement part with differing thread pitches

[@joeflowers9084]

Any suggestions for sights on my TX22 Compact? After install, all front sights have play and wiggle. It seems like the taurus front hole is a bit too large for all the Glock front sights I’ve tried. Anyone else have suggestions?

[@timtaylor7464]

Your site is IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT. Strips out with your kite. Cheap gun parts SUCK

[@davidvaseau7369]

You explained everything except how to remove the green fiber optic and replace it with the red one. How do I do that. I called Taurus customer service to ask and they assured me I would find out here. I didn't. How do I find out??

[@TANDEMKROSS]

The TruGLo KZbin Channel has a great video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoO8hKZse66afdU

[@shawnshipstad2184]

I saw on another video that there was 3 color options as well as extra fiber optic plastic parts. This was not coverd in this video. I founf this to be helpful. I do not think it was 100% comprehensive, if there is 3 options for the sights. Thank you. Take care.

[@HoeplessAlexis]

I have the standard Gen 2 TORO , will this go on it ?

[@lokichoki_]

I can use my TX22 sights, its a very accurate gun but the rear sight is too shallow. That and when I run anything on the barrel it shoots 4' low at 7yds, I can wiggle on the barrel's thread adapter during lockup and its got more play than I want (none), they designed it so it takes down easy but wanted the barrel to have fixed accuracy, the lug the barrel engages varies how tight the barrel is when in lockup im not sure if this area is tightened how it would effect accuracy

[@walterminer4990]

Nice to see the manufacturer providing proper install instructions! Best to ya',,,,!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Best to you! Thank you for the kind words!

[@lgwappo]

Is this sight taller than stock? If so I'll buy it.

[@jeffweaver955]

How do you know it’s straight after you put it back on?

[@tgrif04]

Make the small allen wrench long enough to clear the recoil spring housing. Other than that, the unit looks good.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Thanks for the feedback Thomas. I'm going to send this along to our Inventory manager. He's the one in control of what size allen wrenches we buy and send out with our products and he might be able to get longer ones for future shipments.

[@SC93-85]

good to know that the front sight on the TX22 is removable and replaceable, cause the stock sights suck haha. I guess the rear sight is also removable and replaceable?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Sure is! Slides out fairly easy!

[@robertgutierrez5613]

Had my for about a month now i really love it and the +5 but wish u all were in the works of making a rear that will use the factory set screw to match the front

[@jairogarcia5611]

My Allen key stripped as soon as I tried to unscrew it

[@kirklewit]

You should tell people that the small Allen screw can be stripped out quite easily. Mine stripped without any effort. I had to take it to my local gun store to have it removed. Just letting people know, be very careful with that small screw. I’m assuming The factory used a lot of Loctite.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

I'll make note of that now in the description! Thanks for looking out.

[@capt.mike73ahoy14]

Installed one on my TX22 and it certainly improved the sight picture. Ran 150 rounds through the pistol with no loosening of the front sight so looks like the TK Loctite application is sufficient so far. Good product from you guys! I might suggest including a slightly longer hex wrench for the new screw. The one supplied is a bit short for my fingers so I used a longer version from my tools. Thanks!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Glad you're happy with it! The hex wrench complaint is one we started hearing pretty much as soon as customers started getting their hands on the sights. We're working on solving it for future shipments.

[@thomasmccoy4363]

Doesn't anyone have tools ? I would prefer charging less and keep those throw away alan keys, just sayin'...

[@ndcouey70]

I own 2 TX22's, sadly both of mine had the front sight screw from the factory too tight for the 5/64" allen wrench included with the sight kit. All I was able to do was round off the inside of the screws. Looks like I'll have to drill em out to improve my sights.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Hey Neil, this is Luke, I had the same problem with mine as well, seemed to be extremely tight. I was replacing it anyways so I just pried to original plastic sight off the front which made the bottom sight screw pop right out. Just keep in mind, the front sight was not reusable after I did this haha!

[@ndcouey70]

@@TANDEMKROSS Appreciate the reply and tip. Sounds like a better and easier solution than drilling.

[@justplinkin4809]

I sure wish you had this for the Ruger Security 9 I just ordered one for my TX22.

[@KirkWinterrowd]

Great install video. I just ordered mine along with the red magazine release and Wingman +5 magazine bumper. Looking forward to shooting it with these new accessories.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

We love to hear it! =)

[@webhelp2705]

I saw one video and after installing this the guy had to raise the back sight to compensate for a slightly higher front sight height. Has anyone else experienced this and is it necessary? Thanks

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Everyone sees and uses their sights in a different way so that is quite possible. If you had your stock sights adjusted for a center hold or 6 o'clock hold, then adjustments may be needed. The focal point of the fiber optic dot is more conducive to a combat hold style sight picture, so you may need to raise the rear sight to match.

[@Goyahkla100]

Will this fit the TX 22 Compact? And can it be shipped with the Red Pipe installed?!

[@TANDEMKROSS]

It will not fit the TX22 compact unfortunately.

[@vtxdaryl]

Thanks for sharing this video.

[@rmtuff]

It helps when you go to install. if you get the right allen wrench in the package, which I didn't, luckily I bought 2 and the other package had the right one.

[@spikey01234]

Put this one my pistol. First shot the green portion blew right out. Any way to fix this?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

That shouldn't have happened, but please call our customer service and we will get this sorted for you! We have a lifetime guarantee for this product and are happy to replace it.

[@steveupchurch697]

Great installation video. I installed the front and rear sight kit a while ago and I have seen a significant improvement in sight alignment. I am experiencing a problem with the fiber coming out of the front sight. I would like to replace it so that it won't come out easily. I have had to replace it more than once. What am I doing wrong? Suggestions welcome.

[@stevenkennedy4130]

I own your front sight & +5 magazine extensions. Great products! Any chance on a Stoeger STR-9 base plate? That would be sveet!! I wonder why no one has made base plates for the Glock 44??

[@canileaveitblank1476]

My sight screw was NOT in the sight... I had red lock tight and used it. Not a big deal. The sight is not as bright as I’d hoped, but better than stock.

[@dannygrift2264]

I want to order it for my G2C but wonder if it works with any other fiber optic rear sights, it looks a bit bigger than standard.anybody installed it on a G2C and had a different brand fiber optic rear sights installed?

[@chriswimble3466]

Help! The original screw became stripped immediately when I tried to remove the original sight. Any advice to get it out?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Hi Chris, could you reach out to tech support?

[@chriswimble3466]

@@TANDEMKROSS I e-mailed Taurus and you guys but got impatient so I used a small knife to whittle away the original plastic front sight until it fell off. The sight was the only thing holding the screw in so the screw fell out and I was able to install the new sight easily. Your new sight is installed and works great. Real talk, the thumb accelerator you guys sell is dope. It helps way more than I anticipated with rapid fire and it also fits on several of my other pistols.

[@thecaptain6994]

Where do I buy this sight?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

On our website!

[@thecaptain6994]

@@TANDEMKROSS I went on it and the charge for shipping was way too high. I was hoping to buy it locally. Thanks for responding.

[@cenichols1641]

Is your fiber optic sight the same height and width as the original white dot front sight? Thanks.

[@DesertTactical]

Are the front and rear (stock) sight set screws the same size?

[@chaburchak]

Taurus' website lists this as "TX22/G2/G3". Is that one site for all three guns or is there a different one for each model?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

That's one sight that fits 3 different models.

[@gabrielleadriana5]

Is this compatible with the compact ?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Unfortunately it is not, the front sight is different on the compact.

[@gsf120098]

What about changing the light pipe? Do you just push it out? Does it need glue? How tight is the fit?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

It's a little more complicated than that. TruGlo has a good video on how to change the light pipe in a fiber optic sight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoO8hKZse66afdU

[@kencarnley7101]

Thanks, going to order one.

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Right on!

[@mrsnickers2003]

Got this for my TX22. Tightened screw as much as possible, but it is still loose. Now the screw head is stripped. Thanks TANDEMKROSS.

[@tomluna1201]

Does any one know if it would fit on the Taurus TH9?

[@Samurai_Aldo]

Their website says only the G2 and G3 models

[@bobkeller8383]

Uh what about the rear sight?

[@christophergray3038]

Black electrical tape. Black out those rear white dots. Instant usable sights!

[@xehphotographyx]

That the compensator that fits the mark iv?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

Yes! Our "Game Changer" comp fits the Mark IV plus a bunch of other guns.

[@SuperBanjo007]

I cannot get the front sight screw to turn at all. Any tips?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

That's unusual for sure. Are there screw threads inside the screw hole on the sight? It's possible that one without threading snuck through quality control, or that the hole isn't wide enough for the screw. That's the only thing I can think of.

[@SuperBanjo007]

@@TANDEMKROSS I think you're right. I was never able to really get the allen wrench in to lock in and turn. I even sprayed Blaster catalyst to loosen it, but no dice.

[@SuperBanjo007]

@@TANDEMKROSS I guess my only realistic option is to have a gunsmith take a look. Any idea what a job like that would cost?

[@TANDEMKROSS]

@@SuperBanjo007 I don't have any idea how much that would cost, sorry. But your previous comment about the allen wrench makes me wonder if you were sent the wrong size allen wrench, or if the hole in the screw head is too small or something. Before you throw down money on a gunsmith, try a smaller allen wrench, or a metric size, if you haven't already. And keep in mind that TANDEMKROSS has a lifetime guarantee on all our products, so if you decide you a gunsmith isn't worth it, you can return it for a refund.

[@blainpritcher6670]

I hope you have it fixed by now, but mine wouldn't turn either. appeared to have a LOT of red locktite holding it in. Ended up having someone grind the head off the screw.

[@30h]

Not being rude by any means. What makes your sight better than Lakelines?

[@spxlazy]

Serrations but with lakeline you get more fiber optic rods and longer ones too

[@NativeTexMexican]

Will this sight fit a Taurus G3?
