I have the tx22 also and have been shooting it for about 2 years. Still have not had a jam or any indication of barrel leading. Best 22lr pistol I have every shot.

i just bought this gun about two weeks ago and my fucking god what a pile of dogshit. i had to send it back to Taurus immediately. out of 100 plus rounds that went into the chamber it only fired maybe 15 x's, the rest of the rounds went into the trash and of course i saved some to inspect. i most likely got a lemon, unfortunately. pretty frustrating for first time gun owner trying to just have a little fun. im not saying do not buy one because i fell in love with it when it did shoot, that includes the accuracy. i don't shoot guns consistently enough to be any good with accuracy but holy cow. Accuracy i would say is top notch compared to my pos lcp2 380. i know its like comparing aplles to oranges which doesnt say too much. i wouldn't trust that lcp2 380 with your life. your better off throwing it at someones face at 10 feet and have a better chance of hitting that person in the face with it. as with the tx22 only time will tell.

[@TheDevicemanager]

@@jjq6336 glad i could comment again. i had to send back my taurus back twice. some kind of manufacturing defect. anyways, the taurus tx22 will eat anything you put into it and it super accurate. i now have an fn502 what a sweet sweet gun. now i can say that the fn502 has a longer breakin period. i experienced a crap ton of issues with it as well. but after a good cleaning @ 250 rounds and 600 rounds, the 502 is a beast as well. just picked up a keltec pmr 30. Holy fucking cow what a joy to shoot. With the keltec i have determined that it needs a cleaning after 250 rounds. an immediate cleaning. if you pick up a keltec pmr 30, send it back to the manufacture right away to be properly fixed. they will upgrade it for free as there were serisou issues with them in the first batches that were made 10 years ago.

Very Nice review/explanaion of the TX22! Great trick to make it shoot the subsonics for rifles! I suspect its the combo of the extra optic weight and the -10% spring. I will find some and try it with my TX22 Competition top and see if it works in that with the -10% spring.

[@TheLoneRanger745]

I have a TX-22 and really like it,. I've only run only copper coated ammo CCI mini mag 1235 not one problem in 500rds. cycling perfect, Led can clog the groves causing wild groups or key holing. Question about the Dove tail plate,. I installed the TPP dovetail plate on my 43x with holosun 507k I can't get it adjusted down any further ! Not sure what to do about it ! Any advice ?

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

FWIW you can buy the TX22 competition slide/barrel/sights/guide rod an spring from Taurus site for 199.99 It should run a bit better and have a lower sight picture as its mounted to the barrel with a plate. You can have a Reflex sighted setup with an inch longer barreI and lightened slide, and a regular Iron sighted setup as well. If your new to red dots this is a great way to try them. I just ordered the competition upper for mine so Ill have a 22LR combo, kinda.

[@TheMcpvideo]

interesting I may have to do that,the slide on my TX is not going all the way forward and it's starting to jam.

[@kchez5586]

@@TheMcpvideo I did occasionally have that happen - I swapped out the standard guide rod/spring assembly for the one from Lakeline and the problem went away. It only fits the standard TX22, not the competition model. I did get the Competition upper and love it. The optic not cycling with the slide is a great feature.

[@nickrosal5123]

sir is the galloway optic plate is tight not loose or wobble when you shake it or shoot it in actual?

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Nope. Not lose at all. I have about 1,000 rounds through it and it is still tight. Love the mounting plate.

[@robertjessen1554]

Very interesting review. I've had a TX-22 for about a year and haven't shot it yet. I do appreciate the info on the reflex sight. I'm going to get one for the Taurus and one for my Ruger MK III.

[@jackofalltrades7822]

I have reviewed some other reflex sights. One has shake awake. You should check them out. I love my TX22. It is in the range bag every time I go out. My daughter loves it. Thanks for watching Robert.

[@FreedomTomorrow]

I bought my TX 22 and the same setup. I have a question for you. Did you put the 10% less spring on at the same time you put the ADE sight on it? I ask because I have the same setup without the 10% less, and it will not cycle properly. I removed the sight, but not the plate, and it cycled properly. Now I did put the ADE on before I ever shot the pistol, so I had no previous experience with it. I have now ordered, and installed the 10% less spring, but have not been able to go test it yet. Any info would be helpful. Thank you, Frank

[@jackofalltrades7822]

I did it at the same time. I figured the added mass of the sight might mess with the cycling. I still have issues cycling sub-sonics without a suppressor but as soon as I screw on the suppressor they cycle fine.

[@FreedomTomorrow]

Thank you

[@inthewoodworksco.9041]

Did you have any trouble adding your ade red dot optic to the galloway plate. I just ordered the same plate but noticed that they mentioned on their site that the ade rd3-009 would not fit on that plate. Thanks.

[@jackofalltrades7822]

No issue at all

[@nickrosal5123]

sir jack when i install my optic plate for my tx22 is hard to put in i use a rubber hammer mallet is not like you just insert right? about yours it easy to insert...do you think it is a normal to be tight?

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Mine was a very snug fit and I too tapped it in with a rubber mallet. That is normal.

[@nickrosal5123]

I’ll subcribe your channel recently same happen to me very tight also …..end off my slide lost some paint because of the rubber mallet…so it is normal to be tight thanks for your response mr jack

[@jwt155]

The screw for my ADE mount into the slide recently broke/got stripped, any idea where to go to get a cheap replacement screw?

[@jackofalltrades7822]

I would try contacting ADE. Thanks for watching

[@catwhispurrer137]

Did I hear you correctly; the TX22 has a dovetail mount for red dots?

[@jackofalltrades7822]

You kind of heard me right. There is a mount that uses the rear sight dove tail. It’s made by Galloway. Check the description of the video.

[@MORIDEUT]

I believe this is a TX22 Compact which is not the same as the TX22. The TX22 does mot have the ability to add a reflex, bur new model coming this year for reflex. But I like the vid!

[@jackofalltrades7822]

This is not a compact. The reflex sight can be added the Standard TX22 but you have to remove the rear sight and install and adapter plate from a third party to use the reflex. You can see the red adapter plate below the sight. I talk about it at the 7:00 min mark. This is the same TX22 that I reviewed the year before. To your point, the TX22 compact does allow for mounting a reflex as do several other versions like the TX22 Competition. Thanks for watching.

[@jon316love9]

What ammo cycles reliably in your Taurus with this optic mounted

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Great question. Adding the sight does add mass to the slide and as you would suspect that can effect cycling. If you don’t change the recoil spring, mine fired everything except the CCI Quiet subsonic ammo. Bulk pack ammo and standard velocity cycled without issue. When I changed the recoil spring the CCI Quiet for semi auto firearms cycled fine. Thanks for watching.

[@huesleysousa1969]

Qual é o valor desta arma aí pra vocês aqui no Brasil não foi lançado ainda

[@mrxtraclan]

250-300 USD

[@FBINSA]

In my country the tx22 cost the same as a Buckmark. Wish one is better?

[@jackofalltrades7822]

I assume you are talking about a Buckmark Camper. Which is better… that is pretty subjective. There are pros and cons to each but at the end of the day I usually reach for my Taurus. It weighs half as much, holds 6 more rounds, and shoots just as good. The Buckmark is a great pistol too but I just like how the Taurus feels in my hand. Thanks for watching.

[@edwardlawson9200]

It's finally available in my country too. I've been intending to get back into shooting and wanted a 22lr to suit myself and my daughter. When looking at the available options every second video was this gun and I am still so very impressed with the range of people who rate it. The competition model with the barrel mount baseplate is the one I've seen available so I think that I will be grabbing that when I am finally allowed to own one. It's comparable with the buckmark in pricing. Thanks for a great comprehensive review Ed.

[@darrellwoods5961]

Why didn't you get the Comp/Tactical tx22??

[@jackofalltrades7822]

Because it was far more $$ than the standard TX22. $200.00 more.

[@monicagross5131]

Can this gun be for defense

The gun would be fine but .22 or ammo is not very reliable. Rimfire ammo has always been a little sketchy but it would be better then nothing.

@@gvet47 i spent all of $300 to form one a solvent trap. Same amount as the gun. However, it can be used on other firearms so I wouldn't consider it a specific accessory to that pistol unless it is the only one you have and bought it for.

[@spiritmediumdaniel7161]

I wish you would of talked more of how the gun has been preforming and not so much on the sight

[@jackofalltrades7822]

That is fair. The gun has performed perfectly. Over 2k rounds through it and very few stoppages. I generally attribute infrequent stoppages to the poor nature of rimfire ammo. I have had no mechanical failures, nothing broken, no warranty issues and the gun simply runs. The only issue I have had was after adding the sight. It added weight to the slide and subsonic ammo had difficulties with stove piping and failures to eject however, with the suppressor, those problems were not present. I imagine it was due to an increase of back pressure created by the suppressor. This is why I added the lighter return spring. I hope this helps you out.

[@UN-intelligent]

So, My take away from this, if you want it for defense, don't put a dot on it unless you keep it clean and use stingers.

[@jackofalltrades7822]

I would agree however I would not use a rim fire for defense if other options were available. Rim fire ammo is not very reliable. Thanks for watching.

[@UN-intelligent]

@@jackofalltrades7822 Been using firearms for 25+ years now. Mainly .22. I know all about reliability issues, which stem from bulk pack ammo getting their primers knocked loose and not working or just bottom of the barrel ammo, which is now Winchester. The reason CCI constantly works is because they are in actual boxes, kept from knocking the rims around. Some people, that is the only option, some people can't handle anything more. .22 isn't as bad in reliability as people think, just the ones who know no better, use junk ammo, or never clean their gun.
