I think GSG sells it.

"Supposedly" the 40 gr subs do not work for the heavier suppressors without weight added to the slide. I was looking at your cans weight, 3.6 oz all aluminum. I think that helps. "Supposedly" the 5-6 oz suppressors are too heavy for the TX22 floating barrel. I will confirm shortly with testing with the Spectre and Sparrow.
I did also use an old style Spectre and it worked same results.

I think Arch suggested the Spectre worked without the extra weight. No matter. We'll figure this out.

Yes it works flawlessly with the spectre can no weight. Most bolt bounce can be remedied with a vertical for-grip. I have to use one on the Glock 18 with a 22 slide.

I could't get it to run the subs or quites with just the can.
Here is a 7 sec vid of 4 strings of 5 rnds with the weight.

I can't see the Odysee video. Same thing happened to me yesterday until I converted it with free software called HandBrake. I am looking forward to timing it.

I just got back from the range with the fam and the FFT TX22 was a big hit. Wife and Son loved it. My son was able to squeeze 5 burst from the 16 round mags but not before he did about 10 mag dumps. :) I relate the experience to watching Die Hard at the theater the first time opening week.

Wife was so excited. She actually giggled. She broke the McFadden lightning loader TX22 adapter loading mags. I'm going to make her buy me gun stuff parts. :ROFLMAO:

I used CCI SV 40gr RN (which is subsonic), CCI Subsonic Clean 40gr RN, CCI Sub-sonic 40 GR RN and CCI MM 40gr RN
I tested them with the Spectre and the Sparrow. None of the ammo worked with the suppressor attached.

I will be testing with Root's weights soon. Fun times.

Matt don't buy another mcfadden adapter for the tx22 I am going to design one for the tx22 and I'll send you one. I find the Mcfadden adapters a bit on the wimpy side.

Odd the vid doesn't work for you.
I can click on it with the computer or my phone and it plays.
It was taken on my wife's samsung phone since mine is a potato and records vid like crap.
I'll have to look at the hand brake software.
Anyone know if it runs on linux? Guess I'll find out.
Also need to print one of the tx22 mag loaders and some 9 rnd mag extensions.

Anywho glad you are getting some trigger time on it Strobro.
The setup is pretty fun and easily the best plug & play 22 lr FRT devised yet.

I'm on a mac :) This is what shows for me. "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

Works fine on my iPhone. I’m assuming your using safari for your browser?

Worked just fine with the Bubits brace I posted yesterday. I have not tried it with a can yet, but may do that later. Have some other projects to get to first like the Genesis 12 with SS.

Notes on the Bubits brace. While it works fine, I personally think I would like to sbr it and then add a couple of extra inches to the stock. This ends up closer to my face than I like. With a semi glock that is fine. With an FRT, I just want it a little further away. Going to be doubly so when I put a can on and there is the increased backpressure/gas.

I opened it in Safari and watched. The ROF is 1698 RPM. It was a small sample with 4 short bursts. The longest string was 6 rds.

1 of those 6 rd bursts was 1592 RPM. Is there any more room for weight? I think 500-600 grains could bring it down to 1400s fps with HV ammo.
