Taurus TX22 Disconnector Pin Replacement Kit (3-Pack) - Premium Aftermarket Upgrade - Freedom Finger Triggers
About this product
The Taurus TX22 disconnector pin replacement kit (3-pack) by Freedom Finger Triggers is a precision-engineered aftermarket component designed to restore or enhance the functional reliability of the Taurus TX22 trigger group. This 3-pack addresses the wear point in the original disconnector interface, providing a drop-in solution for timing restoration and reset consistency. As a critical maintenance part, it serves both repair and performance-upgrade scenarios for TX22 owners.<\/p>
What is the Taurus TX22 Disconnector Pin Replacement Kit used for?<\/h3>
This kit is used to replace the factory-installed disconnector pin in a Taurus TX22 pistol to correct or prevent timing malfunctions, specifically failures to reset or disengage. A worn or out-of-specification pin introduces slop into the disconnector linkage, degrading the forced-reset timing critical to systems like our 22TY™ forced-reset trigger<\/a>. The 3-pack ensures spares are available for multiple rebuilds or different pistols.<\/p>
The FRT kit is superior for geometric precision and material consistency, providing a sustained 100-round zero-failure reset interval versus a generic kit’s typical 30-50 round interval before wear manifests. Generic kits often use soft 1117 steel with a Rockwell hardness (HRC) of 58-60, while this kit uses stress-relieved 4140 alloy steel hardened to HRC 62-64. The FRT component maintains its 3.175mm diameter within a tolerance of ±0.005mm, compared to a generic pin’s ±0.025mm tolerance.<\/p>
The pin has a precise cylindrical geometry measuring 3.175mm in diameter and 15.88mm in length (0.125” x 0.625”). Each pin weighs 0.87 grams, with the total 3-pack kit weighing approximately 2.75 grams including its polymer storage tube. The overall displacement is minimal, with the storage tube measuring 64mm in length by 12mm in diameter.<\/p>
This kit is not for shooters with a stock TX22 experiencing no trigger reset issues, as the factory pin is sufficient for standard cyclic rates under 300 rounds per month. It is also unsuitable for modifying firearms not explicitly listed, as detailed in our technical analysis on FRT compatibility<\/a>. If your firearm requires a complete trigger group overhaul, a full assembly like the 22TY™ is the appropriate solution.<\/p>
The box contains exactly three (3) disconnector pins, each individually sealed in a labelled anti-static bag, and one (1) rigid polymer storage tube for organized spare storage. No installation tools are included, as installation requires only a standard 1.5mm punch and a bench block, which are assumed to be present in a qualified user’s armorer’s kit.<\/p>
At $7.50 for a 3-pack, the cost-to-reliability ratio is efficient, approximately $2.50 per critical wear-component replacement. This is a cost-effective preventive maintenance measure compared to a $15-25 factory service call for a similar single-part replacement. For users of modified or high-cycle-rate TX22s, the kit provides an essential spare parts buffer for sustained operation.<\/p>

Pros & cons
What works
- 3.175mm diameter held to ±0.005mm tolerance — eliminates disconnector slop.
- 4140 alloy steel at HRC 62-64 — 20% greater wear resistance than generic 1117 steel pins.
- 3-pack configuration — provides two spare pins for future maintenance cycles.
- Direct compatibility with 22TY™ forced-reset system — ensures spec parity for timing.
Trade-offs
- No installation tooling included — requires separate purchase of 1.5mm punch and block.
- Not compatible with TX22 Compact model — limits application to full-size variant only.
- Surface finish is matte phosphate — provides corrosion resistance but increases break-in friction by approximately 50 cycles compared to a polished finish.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with the Taurus TX22 Compact?
- No. The disconnector pin geometry is specific to the standard Taurus TX22 full-size model. The TX22 Compact uses a different fire control group with a shorter 12.7mm pin. Verify your model before purchase.
- Does this fit a TX22 with the 22TY™ forced-reset trigger installed?
- Yes. This pin is a direct, recommended replacement component for the 22TY™ system, designed to maintain the precise 1.2mm disconnector engagement necessary for forced-reset function. It is the same spec used in our production assembly.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard USPS First-Class Mail shipping is 3-5 business days for contiguous US orders. Expedited 2-day service via USPS Priority Mail is available at checkout for an additional fee. International orders require 10-21 days depending on customs.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns for unopened, factory-sealed components are accepted within 30 days of shipment, less a 15% restocking fee. Installed or modified parts are non-returnable. Confirm firearm model compatibility using our product specifications prior to installation.
- Does this work with a Volquartsen accurizing kit?
- Likely yes, but timing verification is required. The Volquartsen kit modifies the sear and hammer interface, but retains the factory disconnector pin dimension. Test for a clean reset over 10 dry-fire cycles before live fire. We assume no liability for third-party component interactions.
- What tool is needed for installation?
- Installation requires a 1.5mm diameter roll pin punch, a 2oz gunsmithing hammer, and a non-marring bench block. The entire procedure, including safety checks, should take a qualified individual less than 5 minutes. Incorrect tools can damage the receiver.
