First, I know I say "Taurus" funny; it's my good ole Tennessee dialect that loves to mispronounce words. Don't hate on me for that 🙂. Also, I failed to mention the price of the pistol: MSRP is $349. Real world price on this handgun is around $310. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

[@hboutdoors8178]

22plinkster i'm thinking about getting an SR 22 could you do a video about that if so that would be awesome

[@paulbooth5778]

I don't think you say Taurus funny, you sound just like me

[@Stevarooni]

"Taurus", "stinger"...you have your own way of speaking. It's funny to hear the first time, like anyone who pronounces something just a bit different, but not distracting. Besides, I'm from Missour-ah, so I can't complain. 😊

[@jray5550]

My first handgun was a Taurus 9mm. Glad to see Taurus get some love.

[@nuttjeffable]

I've had the TX22 for a week now. My 3rd shot was a failure to feed. I have put 900 rounds of CCI Tactical with that 1 failure to feed and another 500 rounds of CCI blazer with no failures. This gun is the real deal. Would recommend new sights. Highly recommend to anyone watching.

[@The3rdI3]

How much does it cost? I can't find it anywhere on sale.

[@nuttjeffable]

I paid $330. I've seen it as low as $310 on different sites. Comes with two mags. Extra mags cost $20.

[@harryreams6248]

The Taurus TX22 was Guns & Ammo's 2019 "Handgun of the Year." it is ABSOLUTELY the most ergonomically pleasant .22 I've ever fired. The trigger pull is a dream.

[@RedRider2001]

Have you tried the S&W 22 Compact? That's what I have and it's pretty ergonomic, feels great in the hand. I haven't had a failure of any kind yet, about 600 rounds through it so far.

[@berettaxd7566]

Perfect for your daughter. The grips very comfortable and it's accurate and no recoil. Perfect handgun for a lady just learning to shoot.

[@ChrisHornberger]

I've been looking to down-grade from 9mm since I have some shoulder injuries and a surgical repair that didn't work, and 9mm and higher just tears me up after a day at the range. I've been actively shopping 22s lately, and this could be the one. Thanks. I love when people laugh at people who choose smaller bore rounds as a waste of time or as ineffective, or as "girl guns". My answer is always the same... "Cool, can I shoot you with my 22?" So far, no one has said yes, so I guess they don't suck as much as people say.

[@scotteger6271]

I agree with you Chris but would say also consider .380acp as an option. If you get a decent size handgun there will be minimal recoil and a lot of the 380's on the market today are a lot easier to rack the slide than 9mm. A couple of suggestions I would make would be the S&W 380EZ, new Walther CCP M2 in 380, as well as SCCY CPX 3 or 4 and look for them to make their new DVG 1 in 380 soon I'm sure. I would also recommend a revolver that is capable of shooting 327 federal magnum, as you could then shoot 32 short, 32 long, 32 h&r and 32 acp. Also a revolver has no slide to rack. Nothing against 22lr and I don't want shot by it, just ammo finicky at times and not great against heavy clothing layers or other obstacles. Good luck with your shoulder issues hope they can be fixed for you.

I have not been a Taurus fan for many years because of a couple very bad guns I had years ago, but I'm happy to say that my opinion may be changing. It seems they are getting their act together. I'm glad to see it. I'd love to see all gun companies succeed.

[@michaelgerard1806]

I bought one of these pistols and was so excited. Took it to the range and it ate everything I fed it. At 250 rounds it started to key hole. The barrel was so caked with lead that when I tried to clean it my cleaning rod got stuck inside and then when I pulled it out the tip remained stuck in the barrel. Sent it back. After a quick search I see that this issue with barrels is common. It ran like a champ and turns out I am the chump.

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Just got mine. LOVE IT!!!! Accurate, low recoil, shoots ammo, priced right comes with 2 magazines.

[@gymkhanadog]

1 failure out of 250 is dang impressive for .22!

[@YourOwnDumbAss]

@Erin There will never be a firearm that doesn't have some type of failure since there are so many factors in why failures occur with firearms and isn't always the firearm. It can be from User Failure, Ammo Failure, Firearm Failure, Environment Failure, Magazine Failure, and lastly Tarus Failure (Had to do it). I'm not referring only to jams whatsoever.

[@gymkhanadog]

​@Erin ... agreed. However EVERY firearm jams, whether it's semiautomatic or not. Even a bolt-action or pump-action firearm can jam (and sometimes in some pretty bizarre ways!). There is no firearm in history that has never jammed, from the most reliable tactical tupperware to the piggiest pig iron 1911 or 12ga shotgun.

[@Predalien195]

@Erin Obviously you dont shoot much rimfire ammo.

[@57HarleyDavidson]

@Erin All firearms whether it's a semi-automatic or fully automatic firearm will have some type of failure or malfunction

[@jamiesloan5902]

gymkhanadog That isn't bad, for a .22 rimfire round that isn't even designed for auto loaders. Every other cartridge that's designed for an auto loader, is RIMLESS. There's a reason for that... I just got back home from shooting my .223 Savage bolt rifle, and my little Phoenix Arms HP22. I had replaced the extractor on my Phoenix, and I wanted to see if it was fixed. It ran great! I had my .223 sighted dead on at 200 yards, the last time that I was out playing with it. Well, today it was so windy, that it was hitting 4" to the right. Probably 35 mph wind bursts. Not a good day to be shooting a rifle. I had to get out and shoot tho, because it had rained here for the last 4 days. Ahhhhh..... I feel better now. Does anyone else go thru withdrawals when they don't get to shoot for a few days??? I know I do!

[@stephenarmstrong3679]

I've had this gun for one day. I love it. I shot 300 rounds through it. Brand new, I had two failures to feed (I consider the first 100 rounds as a breakin period). No failures for the next 200 rounds (see item #4 for mag loading). I was in the market for a Kel-tec P17 but haven't been able to procure one for over a year now. I decided to pony up the extra dough for this pistol. I don't know why I was hung up over the extra $100. I can't compare it to the Kel-tec since I've never fired one but I was not disappointed in my purchase of the TX-22. I hadn't seen this video before I bought it. I only vaguely remember the G&A article on it 2 yrs ago. My first impressions. 1. This gun's accuracy is very good. 2. The grip on this gun feels just right, Tauras knocked it out of the park on that one. 3. The sights need tweeked to suit your preferences. The adjustable sight is good but not great in adjustment range. 4.There is a trick to easy loading of the mags. Pull the round "handles" only down far enough to load a few cartridges at a time (It does get hard to pull at the last 12-16 cartridges). When done slap the mag against your palm and the last few bullets get into proper alignment for feeding. BTW: Running CCI 1070 fps standard ammo through it the whole time.

Just got my TX22. Had failure to feed in first couple mags. Disassembled the mags, used but of dry lube, reaasembled. Started to pay close attention to loading to insure rims properly staggered. Loading 'like a 9mm' actually helps prevent misaligned rounds. 500 rounds later no failures. Mine also groups a bit high with tight group, so use 6 oclock hold. I also have a G3c and love it. Taurus is upping their game.

WOW, Awesome 22 LR Pistol. Just bought one of these yesterday. Cleaned and lubed it last night, took it to the range today. I put over 250 rounds of 9 different LR cartridges. I had only 3 rounds that didn’t fully get ejected. This is my first 22 Pistol, now Glock will make one since I bought this one. I almost bought the Advantage Arms conversion kit with the threaded barrel. It would have cost more than this whole pistol and much less warranty. All the excellent reviews on this pistol made me try it. Glad I did, paid $300 for it, I couldn’t be happier. Mounted my suppressor to it and it was way to much fun. Thanks Taurus….

[@Bkellyusa]

To the Taurus critics I don't understand why anyone would still be condemning Taurus when they are currently manufacturing quality guns at generally speaking very reasonable prices. It's to every shooters benefit that there are more high quality firearms available at this price point. As it is I have never owned a Taurus pistol and still haven't purchased one but the G2C has really gotten my attention. You've got to spend a whole helluva lot more money to get an arguably better 9mm automatic. The G2C has impressed me so much I plan to buy one soon even though I don't need another 9mm. Now, with the release of the TH9 and this new TX22 it is obvious that Taurus is on a roll and deserves support. The only people who I might forgive are those who have, in the past, purchased a Taurus gun and had problems with it. I had the same issue with a S&W Shield 9mm. I learned to really hate that gun and traded it for a Walther. Despite that I don't go around condemning Smith & Wesson as a manufacturer. What I have always liked about Taurus pistols is that they are always doing very innovative things with their weapons and, now, with their quality on the rise I welcome them and congratulate them for the success they are having. I hope they keep going in this direction. My only complaint is that their customer service is still rumored to be awful. I hope that they address that soon.

[@jamiesloan5902]

Bkellyusa Customer service is very slow. I sent a TCP .380 to them one time, and didn't get it back for 4 months. They replaced the barrel, and the slide, and it ran great when I got it back, but 4 months is rediculous. I recently gave that gun to my mom, because all she had was a .38 ultra lite that hurt her hand when she shot it. I'm gonna take her out and train her with it, one day this week. I want her to feel confident carrying a weapon, and knowing she could use it, if she had to. Besides, I've got plenty of carry options, so I didn't really need it.

[@grumpysquid]

Jamie Sloan how long Ago was that tho?

[@grumpysquid]

Bkellyusa which Walther did you get? I did research on the shield and ended up with the PPS M2. No regrets!!!

[@Bkellyusa]

@@grumpysquid - I bought the Walther CCP M2. I love mine as well. The S&W Shield is really hard to rack for my wife and you cannot release the slide without using both hands. Add to that the Walther is significantly more accurate. Your PPS is generally considered a better weapon. The original CCP had some jamming issues and I think that has dampened the enthusiasm for the new M2 version which works flawlessly. I chose it over the PPS because the PPS does not have a thumb safety. I know there are many people who don't care for a thumb safety but I like to keep all my options open and, in the real world, if you don't like the safety you can easily just turn it off. The CCP M2 is my first Walther pistol and my experience so far has really awakened me to the brand. Now I'd like to get the PPQ Sc 9mm. We'll keep the CCP M2 and add that one sometime in the future. How come you chose the PPS.

[@grumpysquid]

Bkellyusa you seem like a very reasonable and level headed guy 😬 PPS M2 compared to G43 and Shield because: out-of-the-box performance, best trigger, aftermarket not needed, best ergonomics for my hand, 6 to 8-rd mags available, and its uniqueness in looks, etc. Had it over a couple years and here are my nitpicks (based on MY needs, etc): mags are $40 a pop (but again this is not a big deal), some tiny rust spots forming on the metal mags, no +P ammo (per the manufacturer, not a big deal). Otherwise it has been a stellar gun, fun to shoot and the one which makes it to my hip most often.

[@StephenClarkDobson]

I just got one of these for my Birthday. It was my gift from my wife. I shot it earlier today. No real target practice. We still have snow in Alaska. But it was fun to shoot. I was only adding 15 into each mag. I shot 30 rounds and then let my neighbor do the same. It jammed on him twice. I then shot another 30 rounds with no problem. It definitely feels sloppy leading the mags. All in all, I love this gun. Lightweight, Fun to shoot! Thanks for all your content.

[@drested1793]

I impulse bought this gun today. It is a blast to shoot. Pretty darn accurate in my hands and I am not even close to being a handgun master.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

Picked one up today. Range trip in two days. :D Likes: 1) Noticeably incredibly light. Aluminum slide cuts the weight. 2) The grip. Superb. Curved, swells to fit your hand, almost like you squeezed silly puddy and it formed to your grip. 3) Short trigger reset and consistent wall before breaking. 4) (essentially) Fixed barrel. Accuracy and feeding bonus. 5) Front/rear serrations. Easy to train with either/both. 6) Side ejecting, Browning-style slide. Makes training for your CCW all the more realistic and accurate. 7) Suppressor ready. 8) Two 16rd mags. 9) Large, large, squared off trigger gaurd. Between this and the large, large finger memory grooves on the frame, you know exactly where your fingers go, and developed muscle memory. 10) Adjustable sights. Cons: 1) ALMOST need to adjust my grip to detach the magazine with my shooting thumb. Seems to be just a bit too far forward. Button is large and shielded though. YMMV. 2) Trigger feels like it has a sheath over it. Which it does. Doesn't scream quality/tight tolerance, but it doesn't need to. 3) No replaceable rear grip panels. Doesn't need it. 4) Manual safety only engage-able when the striker is racked. Kinda doubles as a "condition indicator", but it is what it is.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks now, and I really enjoy shooting it. I have neighbors who live fairly close, so I don't like shooting my bigger (louder) pistols in the woods behind our house; while the TX22 isn't completely quiet, it's much quieter than the others. It feels great in my hand, seems to be very reliable and accurate, and it's much cheaper and easier to find .22LRs than 9s, .380s, or .38 SPLs. I won't use it for EDC, but it's fun to shoot. I like that it came with the threaded adapter too. One thing about loading the magazines. Mine came with a little plastic "speed loader" thingy in the box. There was nothing about it in the owner's manual, so I wasn't even sure what it was, but after messing around with it, I realized it was to assist in loading the magazines. It's not as useful as my Maglula loader, which won't work with the .22LRs, but it also wasn't $30, and seems to do the job.

So value your balanced and honest opinion. Had a Taurus 9mm Slim. Sent it back for constant FTE issues. They checked the 2 mags, allegedly repaired it. Still same issue with all types of ammunition. Finally gave it away with full warning. Who knows. Keep in mind Taurus only gives a one year warranty, they don't even trust their product.

[@justinhaycook8561]

They have now backed it with a lifetime warranty Even if you bought it during the one year

really clean looking gun honestly. Looks well put together as well. 16 rounds is great as well.

Thanks for the review. I ordered one today from shieldgroup for $213.99 plus shipping. Jim at shield is a great guy to deal with.I also ordered two extra mags for this pistol. I already have a can for my Walther P22.

I carry a PT111 G2 and it’s been great. The newer Taurus guns have improved a lot.

[@onefastr6]

Gogh Phucough...I hate my PT 111, the trigger pull is agonizingly long.

[@goghphucough6410]

The trigger is really my biggest gripe about it. However, a little practice getting the break and reset locations down and I got it down pat.

[@recklesssquirel5962]

I really dont mind the trigger. Its a great pistol for what it is and the price point

I have owned a number of Taurus pistols. I now own a G2C and a TX22. I have traded all but these two. Problems, problems, problems with all of them. The G2C is the only one I am glad I purchased. My TX22 has all the right features and this video is accurate on that point, but Taurus is the most inconsistent brand I own. You never know what you are going to get other than a good price. It is a total roll of the dice. My TZX22 fails to feed 25 to 50% of the time. I took all 5 of my magazines apart and cleaned as recommended in the KZbin videos, even though I have never had to do that with any other brand. Still, have the same problem. I thought CCI Mini Mags would solve the problem. They were the worst. Aguila was horrible as well. Remington Thunderbolt 40gr and Federal 40gr worked. I almost traded the gun yesterday but decided to hold onto it for awhile. I own all the major and not so major brands like Canik and have NEVER had an ammo problem, even in my 1911s. Taurus is an inconsistent manufacturer and the consumer never knows what he/she will be getting. After 5 tries, I will never buy another Taurus, even if there are 50 new videos telling me that Taurus has come a long way. BTW, my Victory 22 will shoot anything. Yes, it is only 10 rounds, but they go bang EVERY time with any ammo.

[@wadesiewert4456]

I just brought one home today. My son and I put 200 rounds threw it and had a hang up on #10 and that was the only one that has hung up. I cleaned the barrel and run it on the lub it had from the factory seems to be a great gun I would recommend it to everyone I'm not brand specific either. I have Glock ,Rugar, Springfield, HK and other. I buy what fits my hand and feels good in the caliber I want.

[@jacobcachola2956]

Looks like a great pistol maybe I’ll add one alongside my sr22 and converted glock 22lr.

Something about the rimfire .22s, they don't stack right in a double stack mag.

@@JJ_SDWR Probably because it's a rimmed cartridge, so they don't lay flat.

Shot one of these at my local range. Rented it along with a Ruger SR22. Taurus fed flawlessly, felt great in my hands, very low recoil, trigger pull was a dream. Had to trade out the SR22 for another gun because I got 2 malfunctions in 4 rounds.

after you load 5 magazines you’ll get the technique down. its easy. loads in under 15seconds

[@txkevin3467]

I am looking forward to trying this. I have a 709 slim in 9mm from Taurus. I absolutely love it. It is very accurate and I dont recall ever having a feed failure. A few years ago it was one of only 3 compact 9mm in a bit "shootout" by a major handgun magazine. If I recall correctly, they shot 600 rounds through each pistol with no lube ....just as it came from the factory. If no failures occurred they went to 1000 rounds. Only 4 made it....Glock 43, Shield, Taurus 709 slim and Walther CCP. Another note, of all the guns, the Taurus logged the single tightest group of 5. Its a great and economical pistol.

Great video. How's the slide finish on the tx22? The g2c is a great firearm, ,but the slide finsh is just OK.

My buddy has one 👌 got to shoot it last weekend and it was a pretty damn fun gun.

[@timothytikker3834]

My first day at the range with my TX22 -- which I bought about a year & 1/2 ago -- I had malfunctions every 2-3 rounds (shooting Federal Auto-Match). My instructor suggested cleaning the gun (I first shot it fresh out of the box), and then I had malfunctions about only every 5 rounds. With breaking in it gradually became more reliable. Then a crack developed on the front end of the slide. I sent the gun to Taurus for repair, and they returned it (in just 3 weeks) with the slide and the recoil spring replaced. Reliability was greatly improved, though not quite 100%. So then I followed the advice given in mixup98's KZbin video: use KleenBore's Magazine Cleaning Tool Brush to clean out the magazines to improve reliability -- and that really worked, giving me very close to 100% reliability (even when shooting that old Federal Auto-Match!). So, though it has been something of a journey for me, it has been was worth it: the gun fits my hand ideally, has a fantastic trigger, and the 16-round mags (I now have 4 of them) make for lots less interruption in range practice. Accuracy is also very good -- especially since I got Tandemkross' fiber optic front sight for it (now they also offer a different front-plus-rear sight version).

[@gunsaccessories8853]

[@checkyoursixgaming]

I own a Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro (old one), Taurus 1911, an old 1984 PT92 and a newer 2009 PT92 as well. I only had a problem with the Pt111 when I first bought it. The frame inside was not to specs and so the magazine would shoot out the bottom when firing the gun. Wasn't happy about that, but I sent it in (they paid for shipping) and replaced the gun. Been firing perfect without a single malfunction since that for years. My old '84 PT92 barrel showing some wear though and losing accuracy so I'll eventually replace that. Quite normal for a 30+ year old reliable gun. I am though really excited about this TX 22 though and have been for the last few weeks. Missed a few deals on them so that is the only reason I've held off so far. I'm a deal shopper and hoping to find another for around the $250 shipped mark here soon.
