Tesro TS22/TS32 Exchange Unit

[dazza]

Has anybody had experience with the exhange/conversion units for the the Tesro TS22/TS32 pistols?

If so, are they a viable proposition? Would welcome any comments.

Thanks in advance.

After years with a 280 kit gun, I learnt that it is much better to have two seperate pistols.

As for the Tesro's, after a difficult start over the last 2 years, virtually all the bugs are out of the .22s (still one problem but they are competition ready).

I cannot say the same for the .32's. There are still feeding and ejection problems causing too many malfunctions. More time is needed to make it a world beater.

David;

I am interested to know why two separate pistols are better than one with a conversion kit. In American Bullseye, many people advocate the use of conversion kits so that the grip and trigger are as identical as possible.

Thanks!

Well in ISSF they have different allowable trigger weights 1000 and 1360 grams (some shoot both at the higher weight). I have 2 GSP's with two Nill grips the grips feel basically the same. Should I have a problem I have two lower units and two triggers, so it adds some redundancy (I actually have 4 triggers so I'm ok there). I have heard some express concerns about wear and how good the conversion units fits, but I personally don't think that's a problem. Another thing, you can always lend the other pistol while shooting the first pistol (2 guys could shoot the 2700 with only three pistols) and I have lent my 32 to someone who wanted to try 1800 (cant do that with a conversion). Beside you can never have too many pistols.

Hi Julian,
After many changes and modifications to the origional Tesro, the only bug to fix is the snapping of some slide spring guide springs.
I have now replaced some seven pins on various versions of .22 slides for a number of owners (there are three slide versions), but I am still not sure of the cause of the breakages.
It is either the pins coming loose or heavy ammo with the pins slamming on the stops or buffer springs.
There are about a dozen pistols shooting in Australia, one person has broken a pin three times on two different slides.
I am told from IWA that the factory has developed a fix, we will have to wait for parts and see.
