It is designed for the TaurusTX™ 22 owner who wants meaningful improvement of their trigger feel and competition shooters who want a consistent, repeatable trigger pull across fast strings of fire.

Who Should Use the Victory Trigger
Ideal Use Cases
- Competitors running Rimfire Pistol Open (RFPO) or Iron Sights (RFPI) who need a shorter, crisp trigger pull for faster splits between targets.
- SCSA, RCSA, MMSSA, or SASP rimfire division shooters looking to reduce travel and tighten reset for more consistent stage runs.
- High-volume trainers who want a trigger that feels identical rep after rep, across hundreds of rounds in a single session.
- TX22 owners frustrated with trigger take-up and who want to address it without replacing the entire pistol.
- Buyers evaluating trigger upgrade options for their TX22 who want an adjustable option backed by a lifetime warranty and Made in the USA
Key Advantages
- Aggressive Texture: Promotes consistent finger placement on the trigger face, making it easier to detect left or right pull deviation. A curved trigger allows finger position to shift between shots; a flat face does not.
- Adjustable pre-travel: The pre-travel set screw lets the shooter eliminate slack before the break, creating a shorter, more deliberate pull without changing the factory sear engagement.
- Adjustable post-travel: The post-travel set screw limits overtravel after the break, shortening the distance the trigger must travel before resetting, and reducing time between shots.
- Flat-Faced Design: Flat design provides the perception of a lighter pull thanks to improved finger positioning and leverage
Limitations to Know Before You Buy
- Safety feature removal: Installing the Victory Trigger eliminates both the trigger safety and striker block safety present in the factory TX22 trigger group. This is standard for dedicated competition builds but should be understood before installation.
- Sold as trigger only: The Lightened Trigger Spring is sold separately. The Victory Trigger improves the trigger feel on its own, but most shooters pair both together for the best result.
- Pre- and post-travel adjustment requires care: The adjustment screws must be set correctly before use. Improper adjustment can result in a trigger that will not reset or a pistol that cannot be field-stripped. Set screws should be secured with thread-locker once the preferred position is found.

Victory Trigger FAQs
How difficult is installation, and does it require gunsmithing or special tools?
Installation is a DIY job that does not require gunsmithing. See our PDF or installation video for instructions. The critical step is setting the pre- and post-travel adjustment screws correctly before use. Too much pre-travel adjustment can prevent the trigger from resetting, and too little post-travel clearance can cause issues during field stripping. Apply thread-locker to hold the position.
Will the Victory Trigger affect the TX22's reliability with different .22 LR ammunition?
No, the Victory Trigger replaces only the trigger shoe. It does not modify the striker, hammer spring, or firing mechanism, so your TX22's cycling and ignition with different .22 LR ammunition remains unchanged.
Is the Victory Trigger compatible with both the TX22 Competition and TX22 Standard?
Yes. The Victory Trigger is compatible with the TaurusTX™ 22 Standard, TaurusTX™ 22 Competition, TaurusTX™ 22 Compact, and TaurusTX™ 22 T.O.R.O.. It is not specific to one variant. For TX22 Competition accessories beyond the trigger, see the TaurusTX™ 22 Competition page. For the Standard, see the TaurusTX™ 22 Standard page.
What other upgrades pair well with the Victory Trigger?
The Lightened Trigger Spring for TaurusTX™ 22 is the most common pairing as it reduces trigger pull weight on its own. We've received feedback from customers who have installed both and describe the combination as the most noticeable improvement to the TX22's shooting feel. After addressing the trigger, the next upgrade most competition shooters move to is a compensator for muzzle control. The Game Changer PRO Squared Compensator for .22LR is a natural next step for a TX22 competition build.

Victory Trigger for TX22
I installed this trigger in a Taurus TX22 competition. The video of the installation is well done, and I had no issue. Like other Tandenkross triggers, this one works very well, and is a worthwhile improvement. I was able to adjust out almost all of the pre-travel, which was quite a bit. It took a couple of tries to get it just right. Than the post travel adjustment was made after the assembly was completed. Now I have very little take up, and no after travel. Very happy with it.

Victory trigger
Works better than the stock trigger for sure. Not too bad to put in following the TK installation video. Had to take it out several times (After a small break at my local insane asylum) to get it adjusted where i wanted it, but it gets easier the more times you do it. It's worth swapping it out.

Wish I'd bought it sooner
Needed upgrade. Significant improvement over the stock Taurus trigger. Easy to install (thanks for the video), functions flawlessly and looks totally awesome!!

Perfection
The TX-22 fits my hand like a glove. Runs like a a Ferrari. She eats any type on ammo & spits out great shots. The stock trigger was better than average but I wanted to squeeze every last bit of performance out of her. I added the Victory Trigger. Installation was quick & painless. The improvement was mind boggling. Every aspect of the trigger was drastically improved! Dare I say; "Perfection"!!

Victory Trigger
Easy install. Works as advertised

Excellent product
Quick install-instructions are clear and easy to follow. Really like the trigger. How about coming up with a lighter spring to help the trigger pull? After changing the trigger it s obvious which spring needs to be replaced AND how easy it is to REPLACE! You d sell a bazillion more triggers if you included a new spring in the trigger kit.

Review
Great trigger, can eliminate ALL pre travel and makes for a great feel w/ the texture and flat face. My only complaint is at zero pretravel, on the tx22 at least, pressure will still be applied to the trigger bar which will in turn push on the striker just enough to where you can't slide the slide off for disassembly and you'll have to remove the backing plate and striker for field stripping. IMHO still worth the extra trouble.

"Victory" tx22 trigger
Installation was simple. The trigger removed most of the excess play. Overall I find it to be an excellent trigger. I like it a lot.
