Update of the old PT22. I carried a PT22 for 19 years until it broke. Taurus replaced it under their warranty. It had over 23k rounds through it when the frame cracked. I sold the replacement before I realized how many rounds I had run through it. Big improvement on the sights and grip. I wonder how it would do with Aguila Interceptors.

Would love to see more of these types of reviews if you ever get the chance or interest. Your approach to EDC/self-defense is unique and demonstrated - it’s practical and works.

[@bizzzzzzle]

Self defence, cost of ammo difference shouldn’t matter

[@chasedooley6237]

@@bizzzzzzle sure that’s the ideal. But logistics win wars, and the cost of ammo matters. I have other obligations to pay. I can’t afford to sink as much money as it would cost to run 380 as much as I run 9. 22 ammo is so cheap, I could run as much 380 as I’ve ever bought in my life in a day, and still have more for tomorrow and the next, and still have enough 9 for regular practice. That stuff makes the difference

[@Clipazine]

It's too bad companies aren't interested in making guns in .25 ACP anymore. Would be cool for something like this and more reliable with the centerfire primers and the more shallow rim. Sure it's way more expensive than .22LR, but if we're talking about self defense rather than plinking or hunting I think it makes sense.

[@BarackLesnar]

They should make a .25 magnum

[@Jim-oo7dk]

Its obvious to everyone but them. I think they do it on purpose. This is a PT22 with cosmetic changes and one more round. As fat as that grip is there is no way they couldn't have made it a double stack and 13 rounds.

[@Paelorian]

Until recently, I would have strongly agreed that there was a niche for a modern defensive .25 ACP pistol. But I've seen gel tests of even the best, deepest penetrating .25 ammo underpenetrate. That includes 60gr hardcast lead Buffalo Bore, so there's really not much room for improvement (unless perhaps a new .25 was specifically designed for overpressure rounds). Now the hardcast lead and high-velocity FMJs can sometimes penetrate adequately and do in most tests, but they don't do so consistently. The fact is, the Kel-Tec P-32, which is lighter and smaller than any .25 ACP ever made and yet still has low recoil (since it's not direct blowback like other pocket pistols but locked-breech like a modern full-size pistol) proves that .32 ACP, with far superior ballistics to the .25, is the better option for self-defense. I still wouldn't mind an even smaller .25, but it would have to be about the size of a NAA Mini-Revolver and compete in that niche. And even then, Federal Punch .22LR may still be a deeper penetrator than any .25 ACP round. But .32 ACP has about double the muzzle energy of .22LR or .25 ACP and just about any .32 ACP round (to include cheap FMJ) will penetrate adequately. For a possible slight step up in terminal effect, Underwood loads Lehigh Xtreme Defenders in .32 ACP. Less penetration than a hot FMJ load, but still meets the standard of more than 12" in gel, and does more damage to gel blocks at least. I'd be very happy to see a modernized .32, something like a scaled-down S&W Bodyguard 2.0. It would be up to the user to carefully load the double-stack mags, but if the manufacturer is worried about liability for rimlock then they could sell the pistol with a loading tool included in the box, the use of which will make it almost impossible to improperly stack the cartridges. .380s have gotten smaller, but with the tiniest, lightest guns they have too much recoil for my most shooters. And often a concealment situation calls for the smallest, lightest gun over a more effective larger weapon. Despite the high popularity of .380s and improvements to .380 pistols, there's definitely still a significant place in the market for small pocket pistols: .32s, .25s, and .22s. I believe in carrying all the time when possible, and tiny guns make it possible to conceal even while wearing swimwear. Manufacturers shouldn't neglect the "bikini carry" part of the market that demands tiny pistols. North American Arms sells ridiculously old-fashioned single-action revolvers that are still the best weapons of their size and therefore they've been successfully running a factory in the USA building them for decades. People usually prefer backup guns and deep concealment guns to be very small.

The recoil springs on this design are in the gripframe on both sides of the magazine. It has a wide grip because of that. Increasing magazine capacity is difficult here.

Some comments say a few Punch rounds have stovepiped, maybe because of the angle in the magazine. Did you clean the wax off these rounds as you've done with your other .22 handguns? I'm wondering if those flat nose bullets would load more consistently with or without the wax?

[@Just1American1966]

My 1998-manufacture PT22 has been rock-solid reliable. I also have two more of the Taurus tip-ups in .25ACP; they perform similarly. I've heard the later, polymer-framed version (the PLY-22) isn't typically as reliable. This one appears to be an updated version of that one. Being that I don't carry any of mine, I'm not in the market for this one, but it does look kinda handsome. Incidentally, I also own a Beretta 21A in .22LR, and it is not at all reliable. It won't run more than three rounds of CCI MiniMags before failing.

[@larryl603]

Im a real fan of your 22lr stuff I just got a tuc 22 and mine is something of a problem child it hates punch nothing I do makes it run I cant get it to fire more than 2 rounds before trouble starts wont eject double feeds you name it and this has been trouble with my ruger lcp 2 also no matter what I do its trouble with the punch ammo it will run velocitors most of the time maybe Its just bad luck but im almost ready to give up on small 22lr autos Ive had 2 rugers and they wont run anything very well one of them has been back to ruger 3 times and still is trouble I wish I had as good luck with them as you do keep doing what you do its great

[@flashrandom]

LCP 2 is a very, very good gun, which shoots very accurately for its size

[@nickolasthefrog]

I think a light trigger would be fine as an only handgun. In a collection, the light ones reveal the habit necessitated by heavy triggers, i.e. staging the trigger before it is on target.

[@cdlund2840]

Not to be contrary but if you're staging a trigger you need to learn to shoot a DA trigger better. Staging is a sign you don't know how to shoot a heavy trigger. One smooth continuous motion is what works. Staging means stopping and reacquiring the sights which would be foolish and time consuming in self defense. A firm grip and a continuous pull is how to keep the sights on target not staging.

[@ryanfletcher317]

How is the construction of the TUC22? does it feel durable and long lasting (like the beretta version feels)? I have not a big fan of the tilt barrels. Have you had any issues with crazy malfunctions yet? (When my tomcat in 32acp would malfunction, the tilt barrel would pop open and the slide would jam in a way where you had to take a minute or two to get everything back in place before it would work again.)

[@offyourocker5622]

I am really impressed with mine. Feels really well-built Ergonomics are much better than the PT22. Been flawless with CCI standard velocity.

[@ericbc7]

I would compare this to the Kel-Tec P32. Both conceal in the pocket well. the .32 has more power but fewer rounds and my choice would depend on which functions more reliably. I am not very concerned about the effectiveness of the 32 over the 22 depending on ammo but I really like having 10 rounds vs 8 for the P32.

Howdy. Nice review. Thanks. While it is nice to know that this little belly gun will hit a target out at 20 yards, that isn't why I am interested in one. I think that guns like this one are meant for "up close and personal" self defense. A get-the-heck-off-of-me type last resort weapon. Since the weapon has a hinged and therefore a partially fixed barrel, as well as a slide that doesn't seem to extend very close to the end of the barrel, I would assume that it could be fired in contact with an actual attacker without being forced out of battery. Maybe you could put some old clothing over your gel block and try that out. My Beretta Tomcat in .32 is of a similar design and it has a threaded barrel allowing me toI put a small birdcage flash suppressor on it for just such emergencies. Too bad it the Tomcat is such a chunky monkey in the holster and the hand. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

He just gotta break it in more

You don't need a holster with that long heavy trigger pull

[@jckeltz]

Barrel release latch is in a bad spot & angle, looks like a definite candidate to be accidentally actuated with the right hand thumb and/or the left thumb as a two handed grip is obtained.

Oh man I want one

[@cozyafloatisme]

I've ordered one, but I'm concerned that there are no magazines yet available from Taurus or anyone else. Guess we'll have to wait on that one!

Huge miss by making it 9+1... should be at least 14+... also unnecessarily fat grip AGAIN like the tx22c (should be way thinner)

[@juliettkilo7796]

The recoil arms and springs are under the grip panels, hence the thickness and lack of a double stack mag.

[@Mister-sm1hs]

@@juliettkilo7796 yep a huge miss like i said... no one wants a thick 10rd pocket 22... they want an LCPmax 22lr w 15+ rds if thats going to be the thickness. The LCP2 22lr kills this thing (and tandemkross mags 14+1 mag bumpers)

[@timothycummins2700]

Except .22 is a rimmed cartridge……..how you going to make it 14+1 without making it double stack thus ruining the reliability?

[@Mister-sm1hs]

@@timothycummins2700 LCP2 22lr with tandemkross bumpers are 14rd mags... and single stack.. and pkg still fits in pocket

All about SHOT PLACEMENT!

Sometimes you need to call Friar TUC. Lol

[@yourmomma2995]

i would not carry something with a 10lb trigger. i would carry something with a good trigger and a manual safety.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

At least it don't have that stupid restrike trigger like the g series

[@martinfrank6514]

Instead of comparing it to giant 22 revolvers why don't you compare it to a Ruger LCP 22 because I have one of those and that holds 10 plus one and if the Ruger LCP 22 is smaller and lighter then there's really no point for this thing also the Ruger LCP22 is single action with a safety
