New Taurus TX 22 Review : Impressive 16+1

The TX22 is the best .22 I have ever owned. I understand that Taurus has been kind of hit or miss with their products, but the TX22 was a home run in my opinion. Easy to shoot, fairly inexpensive, and an overall great handgun for beginners and firearm veterans alike.

[@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.

[@twjonckheere]

Way to go Taurus. I've always been a fan. They have great customer support and my Taurus PT 1911 and 627 Tracker are wonderful guns.

[@PatriotDav]

I recently bought one of these. I was set on getting either a Ruger or S&W, but the sales rep at the gun shop showed the TX to me and highly recommended it. The TX had a great feel to it and fit my hands really well. Ended up getting the TX and love it. Great gun to shoot.

I recently bought my TX22 and I love this little gun. I typically shoot mostly Glocks in 9mm and 45acp. This gun is great for practice. Very nice trigger pull. I have had three times it jammed. Each time with Winchester ammo. Everything else is just great. Highly recommend this gun. Great video.

[@blitzkrieg459]

I saw these for sale and didn't really pay them much attention, but now that I've seen your review, I've changed my mind and might get me one. Your content over the years has always been honest and to the point.

[@Blahblahblahninsense]

If anyone is interested I bought a new one in april of 2023 and have put 2k rounds through it so far. Most malfunctions occur because of a feeding jam where the bullet is pushed out of the casing towards the chamber by the bolt but the casing is still at an angle pointed upwards out if the mag. That break in the casing/bullet can be mitigated by using 40 grain rounds that have more bulllet for the casing to hold onto as its charged. Federal punch ammo works exceptionally well because the casings and bullets are all nickel-plated so they hold really firm. Essentially what you need is a 22 rimfire where the bullet is really hard to jostle from the casing.

[@bahnzo84]

So Taurus customer service was mentioned a couple of times in the video and in the comments. Forgot to mention that during the purchase process at Academy I didn't realize that the suppressor adaptor wasn't in the box... honestly didn't notice it until a couple days later, even after shooting it the same day I purchased it. Called Taurus, they took my information and after talking to a couple of people I was informed that there wasn't any in stock and they would mail one when it was back in stock. Both guys were nice and the call didn't take to long or at least I don't remember being bothered by it. Was a little nervous I would never hear from Taurus and I would have to call again in a few months. Well, checked the mail today and there was a small package from them with the suppressor adaptor. Only took a week and a half and I am pleasantly surprised and couldn't be happier. First Taurus pistol and probably wont be my last the way things are going.

For the longest time, Taurus has been associated with the "Saturday night special", and deservedly so. In the late 90's, I purchased a PT 92 stainless, and loved it! When Taurus developed and marketed their 1911, at first I was skeptical, with good reason. Until I got one in my hands! With the " custom features, Hieney crazy 8 sights, out of the box my first magazine was damn near one ragged hole at 15 yrds! I own a Colt Rangemaster, a Springfield custom shop, and two Taurus 1st gen PT1911s, among others. They shoot just as acurately or better than some of my others! I've been carrying Taurus for a long time, and will contunue to do so.

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….

I understand that Taurus is looking into the issue, but I'm sure that it is an isolated issue wherein sometimes, things just go bad. From what I've experienced with the TX22, it is an awesome, well designed trainer/plinker. The only upgrades that I could suggest are for better sights.

[@WickedDealer]

Got one of these last month, have put 400 rounds through it so far, all bulk (Federal Red Box, Federal Blue Box, Winchester White Box & Remington 22 Thunderbolt). The only issues I've had with feeding is from the Lead Round Nose of the Thunderbolts, it will literally rip off the coating and won't feed after about 7-8 rounds. Winchester has also had issues, but I blame that 100% on the crappy ammo. 300 rounds of Federal have had zero failures in it. Also love the grip on the TX22, really hope Taurus uses this on the next version of there G2C.

[@alexvargas4668]

Looks like they used it on the gx4 it looks just like the TX22. The ergonomics of this pistol are awesome imo

[@Jeffrey.1961]

Great video as always. Bought one. Great trigger and ergonomics. Barrel had excessive lead in it after 120 rounds. The LGS where I bought it and shot it found a flaw in the barrel’s rifling. They swapped it with another new one and it shot 30 or 40 rounds okay. I took the second one to the range and put around 150 rounds thru it and again there was lead build up in the barrel. I used different ammo but still had build up. I took it in and they replaced it with another 22 that I picked out. I can’t say enough good things about Dewey’s in Greenville SC. The pistol I picked as a replacement was a Browning Buckmark which after shooting 150 rounds had a barrel as clean as when it was brand new. There was something wrong with the two TX 22s and the gun shop took great care of me. As for Taurus, I have shot several different models over the years and this is the first problem I have ever had with one. I am not a Taurus hater, the TX is a good pistol and I guess I got two lemons. Good luck.

I've been starting to look at various .22 cal compact pistols for my wife, mainly focusing on the Walther P22. But after watching your review of it and learning about it's trigger pull weight (9+ lbs), that is just way too heavy for what she would want (or what I would want her to have). This pistol, having a trig pull weight of roughly 4 lbs, it's almost a no brainer. Only issue being that the TX22 is a bit bigger in size to the P22 or even RS22. Regardless, from this review, it seems to be the highest probability for her.

I’m not a Taurus fan, however, I can appreciate a firearms manufacturer improving the quality of their product. It’s in the same price range as the M&P22 with threaded barrel. I’d probably go with the M&P even though it’s only 12 rounds.

I'm really glad Taurus is improving quality and changing things up that fixed barrel lock looks interesting. Maybe they'll integrate these new features and that sharper look in their 9 mm handguns

[@SuperUncleRyan]

I should have stuck to my guns with hating Taurus... Against my better judgement I bought this gun. I guess you could say I got suckered by that 16 round magazine. At first I was very happy. With standard velocity CCI and Federal i didn't have one single problem...then I tried some high velocity rounds. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. Most magazines have had problems on almost every round. I have had the occasional string of maybe three or four shots in a row but very few. On almost every shot with the higher velocity rounds the slide locks back. I may as well have a bolt action 22 pistol. Of course I load up with the regular stuff and it does fine, but you shouldn't have to settle for half ass performance. I guess my biggest complaint is for Ruger. Why the hell can't Ruger make a 22 pistol with better than a ten round magazine so I would not be tempted to slum around with this Taurus garbage. BUYER BEWARE...Taurus may be improving, but they apparently aren't out of the dump totally.

[@honorlost84]

@@SuperUncleRyan yeah.... I've been following this gun extremely closely with a community that talks about Taurus on forums along with multiple different reviews from people you are literally the only negative case I've heard about this. I take it with a grain of salt for two reasons. 1 sample size of one versus a few hundred accounts. 2 far too many trying to poison the brand based on prior performance. That being said have you contacted them about it? Its the first batch of a new model, it could be a hiccup.

Sure the slide is a bit gritty at first and it feels light but once you take it to the range and feel that trigger your sold. It is the best 22lr trainer i have. It feels like a 9 and its so light you feel a bit of the 22 recoil. Not much though. As for refering to the ruger, the sr22 has better materials and a better finish. The ruger just feels like a much better made firearm. However the tx22 is more fun to shoot with a significantly better trigger. Add in the fact that the tx22 feels like your holding a full sized 9mm its the winner for me. My ruger isnt leaving the collection but it might see a bit less trigger time.

I've never been more excited to watch a 22lr review lol. Thank you Sootch!

[@joemo1033]

Looks like a smokin trigger. And that muzzle swap is awesome.

[@i2mass]

Another great weapons review! Keep them coming, we all enjoy your take on the weapons and can use that information to make informed decisions on our future purchases! :)

[@E52O4]

Found the pistol on Sportsman’s Warehouse website for $289+tax. Can’t wait to pick it up and run it through its paces.

[@E52O4]

Update: I finally made time to get to the range. Had to exercise my nightstand piece (G23 w/9mm conversion barrel), and the TX22. The nightstand pistol ran without incident. The TX22 had a few hiccups with Winchester golden bullets. Based on the FTF and FTE issues I had, I decided to take apart and clean/lube magazines and try again next time. Will try Aguila and CCI rounds as well.

Sootch00, you are the best gun reviewer out there keep up the amazing work dont ever stop! You are so well informed and pay attention to detail. I believe taurus has a winner here I have always tried to avoid them but might have changed my mind with this one. By the way my dad loves taurus i just always thought they have felt a little cheap.

[@sclegalcarry7979]

I like the way the trigger guard turns upward at the grip. Allows you to get a higher purchase on the firearm for a firmer grip.

I will say I have been impressed with that one I used to own a Smith & Wesson years ago. When regards to the 10 mag restriction, there is no restriction the Constitution

Wow that's actually a slick lookin little gun, hopefully their 9s will start looking this good

[@bennybenitez2461]

Nice great presentation. Yeah have been to Taurus Operation here in Miami. They are over in the Opa Locka area of the 305 the former facility of Heritage Arms.

[@davidgreve1081]

SootchOO, Thanks for that great review of another quality firearm from Taurus. You covered all your bases and did all your homework and i especially like the idea that it can take hot loads and not suffer from any fatigue of any kind. For another $100.00, which can pay for itself just in ammo cost, with no isssues about the trigger, it is narrower by design just for the fact using a skinny bullet. It can be carried concealed and not show like a fatter gun would. The light weight is perfect, just one little minor thing... It can be so comfortable on your person, that you might forget about it and be an unwilling particpant at a butt-chewing one-on- one conference at an Airport, by a Special Security Agent.

[@johnpalmer8834]

Glad to see this positive review. Mine comes in tomorrow. Can’t wait.

[@cyclinggospel5307]

Oh, well since many people says that gun is cheap and accurate and good, I bought this gun and ran into the problem with magazine. I cleaned it up good and I was still having problem. It won't load bullet into chamber. I carefully inspected magazine, and I found that it has MECHANICAL PROBLEM BY DESIGN. At the top of the magazine at rear end is two vertical slit open window where it is angulated to stop the bullet for loading. Bullet twist left and right every other ones when you load them into magazine, since this is rimfire bullet, it has ridge at the bottom of the bullet, This ridge enter into the open slit window when it comes up to the top, and it is also angulated at the top, bullet jammed right there. If the window was about "1mm" smaller or if the angulated spot is rounded up, it wouldn't have caused problem, but since the slit window covers more than 1/2 the diameter of the bullet ridge, and it is angulated, the bullet ridge get jammed in there. The only way to overcome it at this mechanism is that the spot wears out smooth and rounded up, so the ridge doesn't get stuck there. since the angulation was NOT ROUNDED UP, and more than half of the ridge of the bullet enters into the slit window, there will be always a chance that bullet will get jammed in there. This is mechanical design failure. When we pay over $300 dollars, you don't have to fire 1000 bullets to make magazine work. It fires accurate and very good as many people mentioned, but My solution to anybody considering this gun is to perhaps pay a few more dollars and buy another gun, M&P 22 was only a few dollar more expensive I think it doesn't have any mechanical design problem. That is where the reputation of the company comes into place I think. Oh, well. I just am very regretful that I bought this gun since so many people said this gun was good but didn't mention that it has mechanical flaw in design of the magazine. I guess I shouldn't have trusted everything KZbin people said. Obviously, can't trust all things said on the KZbin.

Please do a tx22 compact video 🙏

[@jacksavage197]

Gun Snob here. Bought S&W M&P Compact. No Taurus for me. S&W never made it through 100 round CCI Mini Mags. Slide wouldn't close. Not locking back just seemed to bind. Inside of slide showing where metal being shaved off on a corresponding piece of metal where barrel is affixed to the frame block. Cheap 22 for sale when it gets back from S&W.

[@genesmiley3727]

My TX 22 is flawless. Also, fits perfectly in a kydex holster molded for a USP.

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

I just did a review on the TX22 today, I agree with you, it shoots great!

[@SuperUncleRyan]

I bought one a week ago and I have taken it to the range twice now. I am ready to throw it in the river. So far it is another example of Taurus junk. I'm dreading dealing with what I hear is a nightmare of a customer service department at Taurus. I am so disappointed that I almost just want to throw it away.

This gun is so easy to field strip it makes me wonder why so many .22 pistols makes it so hard?

[@internationalscooterstechn763]

Bought one this week, did not disappoint.

[@ottomueller4425]

I have owned a Taurus PT 58 SS and Taurus PT92 both awesome guns and never had a problem out of them I have always had good luck with Taurus and Kal Tec has a nice 22 the PMR30 30 rounds of 22WMR. And my friend has the Walther PPK/S 22LR and I think it is a awesome 22 too I shot it a few times it was pretty nice.

[@jasonwilliams1085]

Feels the same as my G48. Great for training smaller sgooters

Great review! Late to the game here, but, picked one of these up recently and have about 500 rounds through it without any Mal-functions. The great thing is, I got it for $249. Happy Shooting folk!
