The Taurus TX22 FRT (Forced Reset Trigger) is one of the simplest and most effective implementations of a forced reset system available.
Unlike other platforms that rely on multiple components or complex tuning systems, the TX22 FRT works by directly replacing the factory disconnector, creating a true forced reset function during slide cycling.
This guide explains how it works, why it’s different, and how to properly install it.
WHAT IS A TAURUS TX22 FRT?
A forced reset trigger (FRT) system actively resets the trigger during the firing cycle using mechanical interaction with the slide.
In the TX22 platform, this is achieved by replacing the factory disconnector with a modified component that:
- Forces the trigger forward during slide movement
- Resets the trigger automatically
- Allows for faster and more consistent trigger pulls
This creates a true forced reset cycle, not a passive reset like a standard trigger system.
HOW THE TX22 FRT WORKS
In a factory TX22:
- The slide cycles rearward
- The disconnector resets the trigger
- The shooter must release the trigger forward
With a TX22 FRT installed:
- The modified disconnector changes reset timing
- The trigger is pushed forward automatically
- The shooter can immediately pull again
This results in:
- Faster trigger reset
- Increased rate of fire
- More consistent follow-up shots
WHY THE TX22 FRT IS DIFFERENT
The TX22 platform offers a cleaner and more direct FRT implementation compared to other systems.
Key differences:
- Uses a single-component replacement (disconnector)
- No external tuning systems required
- No additional springs or trip components
- Maintains a simple internal design
This makes it:
- Easier to install
- More straightforward to understand
- More consistent once properly installed
Y22T VS OTHER TX22 FRT DESIGNS
There are multiple TX22 FRT designs available.
Y22T (3DP Design):
- Refined geometry for consistent reset
- Manufactured from 316 stainless steel
- Designed for reliability and longevity
- Backed by a lifetime warranty
Alternate Designs:
- May vary in geometry and reset behavior
- Can still function effectively
- Useful for comparison and testing
WHY MATERIAL MATTERS (316 STAINLESS STEEL)
The disconnector is a high-contact, high-wear component.
Using 316 stainless steel provides:
- Excellent wear resistance
- Maintains precise geometry over time
- Corrosion resistance
- Long-term durability
This ensures consistent performance across extended use.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The TX22 FRT replaces the factory disconnector.
Basic process:
- Disassemble the trigger group
- Remove the factory disconnector
- Install the FRT disconnector
- Reassemble and test function
⚠️ Always verify proper function before use.
If unsure, consult a qualified gunsmith.

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
- Improper installation or alignment
- Skipping function checks after installation
- Assuming all setups behave identically
- Forcing parts during installation
WHO SHOULD USE A TX22 FRT?
This system is ideal for:
- Users comfortable with basic firearm disassembly
- Those looking for a simple but effective FRT system
- Builders wanting increased trigger performance
- TX22 owners looking for a clean upgrade
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Taurus TX22 FRT (Y22T) stands out because of its simplicity and effectiveness.
With proper installation:
- Trigger reset becomes faster and more consistent
- Performance improves without added complexity
- Reliability remains strong
This makes it one of the most accessible and efficient FRT systems available.
