Mr
Glad I purchased the captured spring from Tandemkross - 30 second installation - perfect fit - the slide is much more firm and solid feeling ! I highly recommend this upgrade '

SR22 Sentinel Spring Rod
This a great addition to my SR22. The pistol action feels real smooth and I do believe it has improved it's performance at the range. It's a great buy.

a little work
loaded this rod into the gun and just while installing the slide, there was enough compression to weaken the spring till the slide was super loose. obviously not enough of a spring steel spring as i could stretch and collapse it super easily. ended up cutting two coils off the stock spring and its tight works well and keeps the slide locked back well. maybe ive missed something but im fairly certain the spring should compress and not stay compressed.

Excellent upgrade!
I was having feed issues on a Ruger SR22 and posted the problem on Rimfire Central. A member suggested this spring and rod. Problem is solved. The gun also shoots more accurately and just feels smoother. It is also much easier to clean.

Mr
Captured spring works great! Stainless stell rod peeking out of the front of the pistol is definitely cooler than black polymer!

Mr
It did not have spring power long enough. Mine has the 4+inch barrel and it barly had enough power to dent the cartridge. I think I got the wrong item even though I stated the barrel size. If I get the right product I'm sure it will work fine.

Mr.
After installing the "Sentinel" captured spring rod, the slide on my SR22 has less wobble and play. Deferent improvement!

Poor QC?
I was really looking forward to this upgrade. Once installed my Ruger would not cycle rounds consistantly. On closer inspection the spring on the rod did not go completely from end to end. This left the Ruger slide with a very sloppy 1/4" play. Obviously the slide would not hold tight against the chambered round- sometimes firing, sometimes nothing but a click of the firing pin. When requesting a return TK expected me to pay for return shipping. How is that standing behind your product? How is that "Being a Leader In Customer Service"? as their literature states? I'm pretty disappointed in TK as a company.
