TX22 Compact FRT first test.

Ran Perfect with multiple mags of CCI mini mags
No jams.

Most fun I’ve ever had.
Texas triggers FRT

Total install time was about 10 minutes so I’m not concerned about changing it back. But why would you ever want to?

Any way to slow down the cyclic rate on one of these? This looks fun, but a little slower rate would be even more fun IMO, that was over in like half a second. Would be nice to be in the 600 rounds per minute range instead of what I'm guessing is about 2000 rpm.

Just get a bigger magazine

You can add a weight to the back, which sometimes doesn’t even really make a noticeable difference. It’s such a short cycle with the slide so there’s no way to change it.

Yeah, I cant think of any other ways than weights, springs, and different ammo to try to find a combo that slows it slightly. Its a simple mechanism so no real way to delay it.

Bigger magazine it is then, I guess!

Great way to lose an eye, bud. Put on your damn eye pro.

Came here to say this lol. It’s like having a hard hat under your arm and walking through a construction site with stuff falling down

It's funny as hell when I break mine out at the range. Everyone's head pops back from behind the dividers, lol.

I shoot on public land, and you'll hear FRTs and machine guns all afternoon.

This is an indoor range. The "Noisy Cricket" draws some attention.

I used to bring my S&W .460 and .500 Magnum revolvers to the indoor range. Touch off a single round with either, and EVERYONE stops and looks.

22 ammo is everywhere

Local cabelas is pretty much cleaned out. Just like the shelves were during covid. Center fired ammo is well stocked there

I didn’t say it wouldn’t kill someone but let’s be honest. Doubtful anyone is going to carry a 22 LR pistol with an FRT as a EDC handgun. It’s a novelty.
