Overview

This is the Taurus TX22 magazine adapter for McFadden’s Lightnin’ Grip Loader, the piece that lets the loader fill your TX22 mags fast. The adapter hooks into the top of the Lightnin’ Grip Loader and locks in place, then your TX22 magazine latches right into it, so you can load up to 50 rounds of .22 LR without beating up your thumbs.

This listing is the TX22 adapter only. It requires the McFadden Lightnin’ Grip Loader base (sold separately) to work. If you already run a Lightnin’ Grip Loader, this is the piece that makes it fit your Taurus TX22.

How It Works

Hold the loader in your left hand and press the adapter lock with your thumb. With your right hand, hook the mag adapter into the top of the Lightnin’ Grip Loader and swing the bottom into the slot. Release the lock button; it pops to the locked position when the adapter is fully seated. Insert your TX22 magazine into the adapter until it latches into the notch. To remove the magazine, gently press down on the latch and pull it out.

Usage Tips (from McFadden)

• Some .22 LR cartridges are sticky with wax lube. After filling the reservoir, a light shot of Rem Oil Teflon spray lube helps. Only a small amount is needed.
• Caution: The unit is molded from Lexan. Some lubes can attack the material, so use lubricant sparingly and only as directed.
• Not all magazines seat identically; you may need to apply light seating pressure against the magazine as you load.
• Load smoothly rather than snapping the trigger. Quick snapping can bounce cartridges in some magazines and hook the rims the wrong way. If that happens, a firm rap on the bottom of the magazine against your palm or a book will unhook them.
