TAURUS TX 22 COMPETITION

[@timothytikker3834]

It's worth mentioning that the beauty of the optic mount that is provided with the TX 22 Competition is that it's ingeniously attached to the barrel -- not to the slide -- for full stability.

[@jesselima5682]

For some reason the red dot on mine seems crooked

[@nmr6988]

Taurus hit it out of the park with the TX22. Now they've topped themselves again. I'm impressed with Taurus.

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

I've had my TX-22 for about 2 years now and it's been a flawless pistol. So much fun.

[@liedebunker1253]

@@twincitiesdashcam9119 What ammo do you use please? I'm using Aguila Interceptor and Aguila SuperMaximum, and sometimes the gun jams -- although occasionally, but it does jam.

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

@@liedebunker1253 Federal Premium, CCI and Winchester. I've had maybe at the most 2-3 jams.

[@lordravenblade]

@@liedebunker1253 what kinds of jams? The one my buddy has will stovepipe with bulk ammo, but you can usually tell when it happens just because you feel the insufficient powder load.

[@yuibot5998]

@@liedebunker1253 Mine absolutely loves every type of Aguila I've tried in it, including Super Maximum. I think how you load the mags on these is critical. For instance, I handed mine to my dad who has only ever shot single stack 22 handguns and when he loaded the mag he had the top round nose-diving before he ever put the mag in the gun. On most single stack 22 guns you don't have to be nearly as careful when you load them. The rims on 22LR cause issues you don't see with centerfire rounds...that's one reason why there aren't a lot of double stack 22 guns. I've also heard some people have had to take their mags apart and do some polishing, remove plastic flashing from the molding process, clean them up, etc. If you haven't tried all that you might give it a shot. I know when I load my mags I have to be really careful to keep the noses up and hold the mag just right, give it a smack as I am loading to keep the rounds orientated just right. As long as I do that, mine doesn't jam even with bulk Winchester and Federal.

I like that it had a bolt hold open on the last round! 👍🏼 I’ll have to look into one of those.

[@russream3732]

(I didn’t know either). “10 Round Taurus Mags. You can Convert them to hold MORE Rounds”. Are The 16 round mags hard for you to find? Don’t pass up on the 10 round mags if you can buy them. You can go to Tandemkross or one of the other vendors that are selling the +3/+5/+9 extension kits. The body of the 10 round mags is hollow (same as 16 round mags) - the only difference is the side cut out (which you don’t use after taking the plug out of the follower, the internal spring is replaced with the one you buy in the extension kit and the Internal Limiter (a piece of added black tubing, is remove). You can convert a 10 round mag using the tandemKross +5 round kit to now hold 21 rounds. It works. FYI

[@nocturnalgaming3719]

[@BB-yh5rd]

Killer little gun. I'm half Brazilian so I'm always a bit optimistically biased about Taurus but they really came through on this one, I have ten year old twins that like to shoot but kick makes them hesitate and not enjoy shooting as much. This pistol is great because it teaches semiauto skills without them being hesitant. I'm sure investing in Georgia has helped them step it up a notch. Looking forward to Taurus future products. They could be a game changer like Canik has been making awesome quality at super reasonable prices,

[@SurfistaEletrico]

Half-brazilian too. Technically and financially Taurus is really evolving. However, back in Brazil, Taurus is siding with the leftist government which is imposing heavy drastic restrictions on legal gun possession. You would think this makes no sense, but you know how strange it can be there. We think Taurus is trying to cut a deal to get "protection" from foreign products imports. So, virtually, a Monopoly.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

This really is a fun gun. As I've gotten older I really appreciate any firearm that is just fun to shoot. Of course, that is meant for firearms that run fairly consistently without issue. I used to avoid certain brands but many manufacturers have really stepped up their quality and reliability and that has really made things much better for the consumer.

[@alwollerton5794]

Just glad you are back it seems you were away for quite awhile. Look interesting.

[@taylorowner]

Based upon your review I went out and purchased one. I am getting my wife into shooting and this will be a good entry level pistol. Also, this summer the grand kids (boy 10 and girl 13) are coming out West to visit. The other grandpa is a 28 years in the Marine Corps veteran. He started them shooting last summer in Cheyenne, WY. The plan is to meet at the NRA Whitting Center in Raton, NM for a couple of days of shooting. I also purchased a the basic Henry rifle with a scope. It should be a fun time. Keep up the good work. Is the Crimson Trace red dot a good accessory? My grand daughter is 90% blind in her right eye and shoots lefty.

It is amazing how the Snobs bash Taurus. Now to be fair Taurus has some good firearms and some not so good firearms just like every other manufacturer out there.

[@ChevTecGroup]

Honestly. They still don't last like proper guns. I love my tx22 and when it isn't broken it is awesome. Most of their guns will break with heavy use. But for the casual shooter or someone needing a decent self protection gun on a small budget, they work well. The g2c and the g3c may be better but time will tell, they've gotten great short term reviews so far, but so did the tx22 before slides started cracking at high round counts.

I purchased a TX22 comp scr in Feb 2023. It has been a big disappointment. When it shoots without jamming, it's a great gun.

[@paulshayter1113]

Hammerli makes incredible target/competition pistols. I shot a single shot bolt action model many years ago. The trigger was set at 10 ounces which is scary light if you don't know what you are doing.

[@herbderbler1585]

@@paulshayter1113 that is scary, I've had electronic paintball guns with triggers that light because they were basically just a finger lever clicking a microswitch. Definitely not something you'd hand to a beginner, but for an experienced shooter seeking maximum precision, that has to feel pretty awesome.

[@richardgardner9251]

I bought a TX 22 comp b/c of this video. Using three common types of ammo it fails to feed every other round. I also bought and tried 5 different Taurus magazines. I am VERY disappointed with the TX22 comp. I also bought the standard TX22 and it worked without a failure with all the ammo that jammed in the comp. Taurus did pay to send it back but told me it will take 6 weeks or so to get it back. I should have skipped the comp version!!

[@billpark3974]

My story exactly. The Taurus website says the screws we need are 6-48 UNS THRU. I can’t find them anywhere. Have you found them yet? Crimson Trace said they don’t have them and I’m waiting on an email response from Taurus.

[@richardgardner9251]

@@billpark3974 I bought a Pachmayr master gunsmith screw kit #03054 from Amazon. It wasn't too expensive and it comes complete with an organizer tray/container. I had to send my pistol back to Taurus and they DID NOTHING to fix my problem with feeding issues. This is the biggest pile of crap gun I have ever owned. I traded it with a POS 986 and a 40cal Charter Arms for a new 3 inch Python! I will never buy another Taurus or Charter Arms! I'm also upset with plinkster for encouraging us to buy this POS.
