Hey all! Fairly new to .22lr, at least it more years than I’d prefer to announce, and looking for a reliable, non-picky pistol for my son and I to have some fun with.

I initially settled on the TX22 TORO, but my usual shop is have a hard time finding one and the only ones I see online are +$900.00. And that’s a ridiculously absurd price that I’m not even going to entertain. So no I’m back to the drawing board a bit.

I see plenty of Mark IVs so I’m sure they’re good, but are there any “gotcha” items people know to replace/look for right off the bat? The 502 looks cool, but I don’t know much about it review-wise. And then there’s the old TX22, should I just wait for it?

Just got back from my second range day and I’m definitely having some issues. I’m running the Lingle lower and HBI short stroke buffer in addition to the 535 trigger.

It seems to be double firing on the reset of the trigger. I tried a couple of times pulling the trigger and holding it and then on the release, it would actually double fire.

Admittedly, this is my first time modifying the internals of a firearm, but I followed all the instructions I could find as closely as possible. The pull and reset on the 535 are very light and short. I’m wondering if maybe it’s just not a good trigger option. I thought I saw that somebody else here was running one though.

Right now it’s primarily a range toy, but I still wanna make sure it’s safe to use and working properly. I’d love some suggestions.
