Finally found a Taurus TX22 magazine speedloader that works well! 

Where did you purchase it ?

Sorry for late response....you can get it on amazon. I bought the loader grip and the mag adapter online directly fromMcfadden Machine. It was not much difference in price, and they have great customer service.

Yep same. First bunch of rounds sorting things out. I now have over 25,000 rds. as reliable as my ruger now unless the round is bad. I get some satisfaction from just fixing things in general, so I didnt' get entirely bent on sorting out the issues. But still shouldn't have to do that out of the box. But we can have the fun now....

Agree. They would need to beef up the assembly a lot tho.

Thanks!

I was hesitant looking at the design and the odd size but for me it turned out perfect and is really nice to have

Yeah, I like to shoot a lot so my thumbs like the break. I really like that it keeps the gunk off my fingers.

I now have over 25,000 rounds through this pistol and speedloader. The only thing wrong with the speedloader that came up recently was the mag adapter retention lip that hold the mag cracked. I emailed Mcfadden and they have great customer service. I don't expect this thing to fail anytime soon again. All I've done is mcquires car wax on the inside twice. Still clean and working great.

Yep. Works great but for rimfire only. I use maglula for 5.56 and 9 mm.

Don't forget the adapter. Sooo much nicer and keeps hands clean too. I also have the cmmg AR 15 .22 conversion, so got that adapter as well and it's seven seconds to speed load 25 rds. Those AR mags are even harder on the thumbs.

Where do you get these?

@@sherlock1895 you can get the grip on Amazon, but I had to go to McFadden's website to order the adapter. In the end after shipping it was cheaper to get everything direct from McFadden. Get I think better warranty service that way too. Never see these at the lgs. The AR cmmg mag adapter is on Amazon tho.

@@sherlock1895 McFadden Machine makes and sells them. I got mine online. Edit: the loader works really well. It has completely changed my range sessions. No more sore thumbs.

You might check McFadden machines web they might be working on the lightening grip adapter for those mags. If the are the same dimensions as the regular tx22s the current adapter may work. I've sent questions to their cust support and they do respond.

Yea all the shaking around i’d already have my mag loaded

You should hear the comments and friendly jabs I get when buds at the range hear the maraccha shaker....

Hi it's their Lightnin' Grip Speed Loader, with the separate tx22 magazine adapter. I got it direct from McFadden on their website. www.mcfaden.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=LIGHTNIN-GRIP The Product Code is LIGHTNIN-GRIP. Amazon sells it but not the tx22 adapter. You have to buy the adapter. Everyone else I've heard who owns one loves it as well.

@@fly4fun463 Thanks!

Yes I've tried several types including Winchester and they work however the issues I had were when mags got dirty...and they collect the waxy lube off some types of bullets fast.... they would occasionally get that short hollow point nose or the edge of the hollow point jammed against the front of the mag when the mag got dirty and the nose didn't tip up fully. This can also cause a dented round. (It's when I started using liquid car wax inside the mags). So-just about any round should feed with clean mags and a slide that cycles fully.

I didn’t even make it through a mag with the Winchesters. The Super X is waxy and the M22s are just inconsistent. Mine ran the Federal bulk pack 36 grain HPs perfectly and since my rifle likes them too, I just bought a bunch from Midway for rimfire matches.

@@milspecmike8440 Yeah, I had good luck on my first trip to the range with the Federal 36G CPHP ammo. I just had a couple of times where the gun failed to pull the next cartridge off the mag after firing the first shot. Nothing was jammed and no failures to fire, just a couple of failures to load I guess you'd call it. I might try some round nose on my next trip to see if I can tell a difference in accuracy.

Yes it's good for rifles NOT pistols it's M-22 designed for .22lr ar15 rifles

@@highspeed9518 it’s the only round that has stopped my rifle so far. CMMG .22LR dedicated barrel and bolt with the better mag adapter and using 15-22 mags and the bulldog drum. It has 6 practical .22 matches and a steel challenge match plus a bunch of testing and tuning including trying out a bunch of different ammo that all ran. I took the M22 to the range hoping to sight it in and use it because I have two of the big boxes of it, but it choked both my competition 22s, so it goes in the plinker pile. The SuperX ran in the rifle but I could feel it was sluggish.

My rangemaster at the outdoor range teases me all the time about the 'maraccha' and asks me where the rest of the band is...... at the indoor range I go to peeps are always peering around wondering what that chatter is. Then ask if there is one in their caliber after they see how fast it is.. Its bulky too...sticks out of my small range bag

Late response....got it directly from Mcfadden Machine. Or they are also on amazon.

Yep it depends on your use case requirement. Once its set up (and it is a bit bulky in the range bag), I can concentrate on practice and get the rounds down much faster than hand loading 6 clips each time. But if I am only shooting a few rounds or helping a buddy I may hand load as we chat.

If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid. ;) I don't have one of these yet, but I do have their older mag loader for my Ruger Mk II that makes loading mags for it a cakewalk. Been looking at the TX22 as an option for a striker fired pistol and knowing McFadden has a loader for it is a big plus.

Yeah it depends on how you shoot. When I'm by myself I fill a buncho mags now and spend the time shooting vs reloading with 59yr old arthritic fingers...when I'm with friends casually shooting or helping their kids learn its much slower, so hand loading as we chat works.

I got used to using the speedloader pretty quickly. But it is a bulky item. Sometimes if I'm only shooting a few rounds I'll skip the speedloader but most ofthe time I can't put it down...400rds later...

this one is outstanding. over 25,000 rounds. No lie. All I've done is wax the internals with Mcquires car wax twice. Nothing else. The mag adapter cracked at 24,000 rds. The lip that flexes and grabs the magazine latch indentations. Mcfadden replaced it for me no questions. SUPERB product.
