Taurus TX22 Rimfire 16+1 Review

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW TAURUS® TX22.

Engineered to deliver best-in-class accuracy and reliability, this rimfire polymer sporting pistol shoots and feels every bit like a custom-tuned competition model-without any costly upgrades or modifications.

Right out of the box.
You can find this on our KyGunCo website!

Because of 22plinkster and Military Arms Channel's recommendations, I just bought a TX22. It is a fantastic gun. Over a 1000 rounds of Federal bulk with one fail to feed. Great trigger and accurate. I also own a Glock G44 which will only work with expensive CCI Mini Mag ammunition. I will be selling the Glock G44.

[@patrickmcadams9859]

I bought one to match my Taurus G3, they’re both the same size so training with the TX22 is much cheaper to run than the 9mm. I’m really happy with both of them. Taurus is doing something right.

[@carlhopkinson]

Because of the sweet trigger I have seen people shoot this gun so fast it looked almost like a full auto.

Too many Awesome Reviews....Had to buy one on D-Day 2019....Cheers! God Bless Those Who Gave All....

[@MrPutzdad]

I watch a lot of various gun reviews and yours is by far some of the best reviewing on the tube. Great job as always. I always seem to want whatever you review

[@Lilnasty-jo3dc]

I love my Taurus TX22?? Is fantastic!!

[@carlhopkinson]

Bought TX22 from KYGUN....love it and love the price too!!

[@craigsavarese8631]

And now Taurus is doing a $50 rebate on the TX22 for purchases made July through September, 2019! I am saving up for this “toy” now.

[@vegasgungirl8247]

I love my TX22 ! I’ve ran 300 round no issues. Taking is out tomorrow to really test it.

[@timhallas4275]

I hear you can get pre-loaded mags for about $24 each.

[@tomten5782]

22 mag please

[@antilaw9911]

Women that love guns are the best!

[@offyourocker5622]

They come with a speed loader nowadays. They must have listened to you

[@boss94ways51]

Got mine from you 2 week ago mine came with the mag loader shoots great... Unfortunately i had to pay the $349 price tag from you all cause of the high gun prices...but you were cheaper than alot of other places so lucky me.....this will go well with my TIPPMAM m4 micro elite pistol

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Went to buy this pistol yesterday with my 12yo daughter as a good trainer for her and my son. My daughter is 5-4 130 . Reason I’m pointing this out is as awesome and light as this pistol is.. it’s no where near .22 pistol size. It’s more like a .45. After holding several .22 in this market area we left with the M&P22. I will admit I was very disappointed but I’d the grip was bordering to large for her to get a comfortable grip then no way my 6yo son will even be able to reach the trigger. Anyone looking for a trainer for younger people this Sadly isn’t a good choice. If you are Interested for yourself then it’s no contest. Can’t even describe how light the pistol is even for a 22 and how nice the trigger is.

[@bretthowell85]

Let em grow into it. Not like they will stay that size for long. And it's super light weight

[@missouribattleflag328]

Looks cool great review

[@kipperwhite2976]

GoT Wife 2 watch & said she thinks she could work slide on it. she has crippled hands so has a ole H&R 22 topbreak pistol rite now. As U can tell We LuV 22LR & consider it a perfect round 4 R needs TY 4 ur great videos that R so inforative ;) Big Fans now of ur site!

[@M4jeff]

Great job thanks for the video!

[@richc8253]

Have one and love it!!

[@Paulbeck]

You don't need loader with the TX. Load it just like you would a center fire pistol, it works great.

[@iansamuelson3666]

I just installed Tandemkross +4 magazine adapter. Excited to get to the range today and try them out.

[@msclecarcrzy]

Does that increase your capacity to 20 rounds?

[@stonerman15]

I love it. Great trainer pistol and plinking! Just buy about 5 extra magazines and a speed loader! Make sure to clean it very well before shooting. Clean it well after shooting

[@allenwisniewski5387]

I've put around 2k rounds through mine and the only ammo I found that it doesn't like is the Remington with the bullets that step down in size at the tip (I'm sure there's a technical term for that) Other than that I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I absolutely love this little pistol

[@Megzamani]

Conical likevan ice cream cone

[@MrBmoll5858]

Thanks for sharing, great information. 👍👍

[@WV591]

tx22 is fun fun fun and accurate..only thing is too bad plastic sights. it is a nice trigger. my first time with this gun and couldn't believe the grouping.

[@paxonearth]

I'm looking forward to this. I ordered one online for $220 BEFORE the rebate, so $170 after rebate plus $10 transfer fee brings my grand total to $180. Quite a good deal.

[@dang2045]

paxonearth Same here but $25 transfer fee. Great deal and pistol!

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Keltek has a P17 17 round but I'd rather have this one, and will have it as soon as I can lol great review

[@kskisser]

Mine isn't difficult to load at all. Love this gun!

[@apolloblaring7014]

Very good pistol

[@freeravenadventures6925]

been happy with my SR22, but that 16 round capacit is appealing. Still hope Glock comes out with a dedicated .22 lr pistol. That would sell profoundly

[@johnsmith4630]

The Free Raven right after the glock carbine

[@dennyadkins21]

I love this firearm. About 500 rounds and no issues. If you want a .22 you should get this

[@ronaldsanton7453]

agree! 👍 for me taurus tx22 is the very best than the ruger sr22 pistol & m&p22 pistol

[@eastcoastgrandison4855]

Yea i been wanting to get one for a while now. hopefully i'll have one in a few weeks

[@larrylang7247]

Nice pistols.

[@GiorgosC-rp5ms]

sweet gun

[@GiorgosC-rp5ms]

wish it came in a 25acp and 32 or even 380 great design

[@hamegger6277]

Just bought one on 9/27 in FDE 275.00 out the door!! Can't wait to shoot it. 16 rds there is a company selling mag extension for it to bring up to 19&1. I think it is Galloway not sure check it out. I did want the keltec CP33 but can't get anywhere. I have threePMR30 all run perfectly. This gun got such great reviews and when I saw it at the gun shop I could not pass it up. Thanks Ham&egger

[@rls303]

Thanks

[@spyralspyder]

It sure is a fun gun.

[@tom_olofsson]

The Beretta-Umarex M9a1-22 uses 15 round magazines. It is also a full sized gun. I like the striker fired Taurus better.

[@franksimpson9039]

thanks for review and love buying guns from kentucky gun great prices and service !! bought the g44 from y`all ,and not the taurus tx22 --. my experience is opposite of most internet wisdom . my much praised taurus tx22 was a lemon out of the box with a bad barrel and 2 bad mags . pretty much unshootable after 400 rds and after trying every thing imaginable to get it going . had a out of battery explosion . sent it back to taurus 6 weeks ago, no help . they have the worst customer service in the gun industry . on the other hand , my brother got a glock g44 and it has been running great . don`t believe all the big gun channel propaganda . we have shot all manner of bulk ammo in it ( 1500+) . of course some bulk ammo is so bad it won`t shoot in any semi auto . and all semi auto` like 40 gn. round nose bullets. like any .22 it loves cci mini mags but will shoot most anything else. don`t have too use any magazine loading voodoo either . one thing all the internet gunfighters are not doing is cleaning and lubricating them . this is crucial because all .22 semi autos run. on the EDGE OF RELIABILITY due to their low power dirty ammo and blow back operation . any way --there are plenty of better .22`s out there than the tx 22 or the glock but don`t buy into all hype on either one . there is nothing the matter with the g44 as a plinker or trainer . much prefer having glock warranty over taurus customer no service ------------

[@juderandasan1000]

hope it will be available soon in the Philippine gunshops e,g, Trust Trade at Robinson Galleria, QC, PH

[@francostacy7675]

Considering this gun. However... 1. Do you think this gun will survive long term and be a gun you hand down or is it a throw away? 2. I am considering this gun and a Beretta m9 22, ruger sr22, Browning buckmark micro bull 4 inch barrel. 3. Can the plastic sights be replaced on tx22

[@Timewaits4no1]

Considering Taurus had a bad batch with barrel issues, is there an easy way to know either physically with the pistol, or by the serial#(or some other # on the box) whether or not you have a bad, or good TX22? I'd really like to get 1, but nobody local has any and I feel like it's a risk ordering on-line and hoping I get a solid 1. I just don't have the $ to waste, only to have to wait an extra 6+months to get a new barrel before I can actually use my pistol

[@nathanielcohen9890]

nice looking gun. i have the taurus pt24/7 in 45acp. excellent shooting weapon, but the mags are almost $40/each........i want a pistol in .22wmr......

[@lennyf1957]

11:00. every single Taurus on your website is out of stock. Any idea when you'll be getting these guns in?

[@petespurgeon7217]

Great reveiw looks real good, price?

[@o4thesox]

Hard to load??? Anyway, just bought mine Sunday, shot someone else's for a while and I think it's great. Glad to finally have my own

[@ronpettit3200]

Why didn't you show the target again

[@mikestrunk3282]

Finally got my replacement barrel....took almost a year. Rifled off center and chatter machine marks. Leaded terribly. All good now. Be warned....many still out there

[@dandi5998]

Do they make 22WRM semi auto round

[@CallmeDaBreeze1971]

I want one.

[@razrramonel4077]

Call me old school, I prefer the Taurus Model 94 that is also a .22 Long Rifle Caliber. The Taurus Model 94 has a 9 shot cylinder with a 4"barrel, adjustable rear sight and a red ramp front sight.

[@patrickcreath217]

Got one. I luv it.

[@jackdaniel.2546]

I have the tx22 and a 25 year old 941 22wmr 8 shot with about a 20 lb trigger. Like the revolvers. Like them all !!!

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

It's not necessary to dry fire in order to remove the slide.

[@socomao3]

Please tell me these are in stock

[@FishHeadly1]

Nice, but I just bought a Walther P22. Could of used the extra 6 rounds. Oh well.

[@kipperwhite2976]

If I had one I'd use it 4 CCW Really cause no need 2 carry xtra mag although probly wud anyway. Hope U hava contest 4 some TY I'm a DAV w/low 2 no gun $$ but LuV guns since 8 yrs ole. 4 Real hunt critter's 4 food on way home fm school w/ole single shot 22 LR rife ;)

[@jpdaddy678]

I would expect it to be cheaper too lol..nothing is these days..I paid 379 for a model with the stars and stripes engraved into the slide.,bought an extra magazine for 24.99..but it shoots cheap Wal-Mart automatch so I'm way ahead of the game..good job Taurus

[@hugoromero8414]

OOH, so many positive youtube reviews of this tauras I finally purchased mine 7/5/19 and was totally excited for this gun finally got the chance to get out and start putting some rounds down range, yeah.... ¡¡NO BUENO!! Mine must have come with a gremlin My gun kept malfunctioning, slide kept locking back after litterally 2nd round fired, it just kep locking took the clip out tried again, tried the other clip, nope! Thinking it was ammo (using walmart winchester M-22) I swapped the ammo out to (walmart again, remmington thunderbolt) still kept getting slide lock also tried (you know😁, I know😥 walmart again winchester super X) still same problem thinking it was me or just needed to be better cleaned and lubed, did that, cleaned it and lubed, basic field strip, still same problem thinking it was maybe my hand catching on the slide lock I fired one handed left hand making sure I wasn't putting my hand on the slide lock still same problem bout 200rnds into it of test firing, I started to notice that the gun slide was not going all the way into battery (maybe because of carbon/lead fouling) eventually I started getting FTF soft rim strikes long story short just sent to manufacture😥😥😥😥😥 I hope anyone and everyone has a better experiance and that that it was just a bad fluke on my taurus its self and that tauras can get it fixed sure would be disapointing for it to become a paperweight guess only time will tell.

[@redriver6541]

Good to know....thank you for telling us. Was just looking into these....wanted them to have some time out in use....to see if they're really all that good....or if "sponsors" are hyping it up. Thanks you....nothing Ps me off more than sending a new gun back to the factory for work.....if I have to do that I just want my money back. Guns that do that will never have my confidence again...no matter what.

[@ptigris939]

Use plated bullets..cci mini mags preferably..if it dpoesnt work with mini mags then there's something wrong with it

[@franksimpson9039]

mine had 2 bad mags that i believe where bad moldings (PLASTIC MAGS ) that would ever so slightly bend or dent the ammo feeding and cause failures to chamber and extract . had to poke cases out with a cleaning rod. proved this to myself by substituting a third mag i purchased extra and it would shoot . call taurus and report this and they may send replacements in a couple of years ------good luck

[@archersfriend]

Mine does NOT like the Winchester Wildcat loads. It makes the gun a Commie Fornica compliant single shot. It will not cycle. So far the other ammo including STD velocity CCI (sub sonic with my can). They are so quite you only hear the slide racking.

[@WickedDealer]

The only lead round nose I put though my so far was the Remington 22 Thunderbolts from a bulk brick, about 7-8 rounds in it had feeding issues including literally sheering off the outer waxing around the bullet. Absolutely loves Federal bulk bricks, with the exception of a light primer strike, has feed over 400 with zero issues.

[@archersfriend]

@@WickedDealer I did shoot the Thunderbolts in mine and did NOT have any issues at all. Still testing.

[@Arthur-eq3tk]

TX22 is not the same as the G2c or G3c I have both and the hand grip is much larger on the TX22, I do not like it, I got the M&P 22 because of the grip. I like Taurus I have several of them. If they take the large hump off the back of the grip or make it changeable I might be interested.

[@noleftturns5130]

Beretta M9A1-22 & 92FSR-22 FS with 4.9" barrel 15 rnds

[@Liberty4Ever]

It must suck to be Taurus and go to the 2019 SHOT Show to announce your 16 round 22 pistol and Kel-Tec is there with their 33 round CP33. That little Taurus 22 looks pretty sweet and I'm probably going to have to buy one of those even though I'm still loving my new CP33. Most of your demo strings were 14 or 15 rounds and not 16. For example the Golden Bullet was 14 and the Velocitor after that was 15.

[@WickedDealer]

It's also much easier to load the Taurus TX22, not to mention much cheaper compared to the Kel-Tec which is unavailable in a ton of places. If you like the full size Smith & Wesson's or Sig's, the TX is basically those guns, but in 22 caliber, with a very nice trigger to boot.

[@jwash3rd]

@Liberty Hopefully, the CP33 is more reliable than their PMR-30. But I'm not going to risk the money to find out.

[@jodymoore882]

Liberty4Ever it must suck bragging to your buddies that you bought a 33 round 22lr pistol and they ask to see it, then you whip out this damn alien blaster that looked like it came straight off the USS Enterprise.

[@AndrewSzekely]

I think this is a very respectable 22. Sportsman outdoor supercenter offering 279.00, and several other sites had 18.00 mags...happy fathers day to me!

[@swivel63]

yea, the tx22 is great. especially with the ammo shortage.

[@ironhorse127]

Looks great. I do have to laugh when you said 10 round magazines version for compliant states. Still has a threaded barrel. NOT compliant in New Yorkistan. So, much like the M&P 22 Compact from S&W, I am once again shut out from buying one

[@Liberty4Ever]

"Compliance state" = Commie state.

[@ironhorse127]

Liberty4Ever WELL SAID

[@boatrat]

This is many months after your original comment... In case you hadn't yet seen, Taurus also has a factory version of this listed with a NON-threaded barrel now. The law in question is asinine, we can all agree. But at least in this instance there's the workaround apparently available.

[@redriver6541]

Excellent video y'all. Looks like loads of fun. I'll check y'all out online.... Just down the road from ya in Muhl.... Do you guys have a storefront as well?

[@lantzfamilyadventures5845]

How is the grip size for teaching people with small hands to shoot?

[@qwertishman12345]

I have small/medium sized hands and it fits well. Should work good for those with smaller hands

[@jamesmoorer4946]

PSA has it for $259 right now..

[@o4thesox]

Been sold out for a while

[@wadewilson6135]

Using the tabs to load the mags gives you a higher chance of miss feeds due to rim overlap. If you load the rounds in the mags like you would any standard magazine you have far less chance of feeding problems due to poor magazine loading

[@dickdanger7867]

Thanks, I shot mine for the first time today and had almost nothing but feed problems. I was using the tabs all the way down and just letting the rounds fall in there all willy- nilly . After closer examination of how the magazine works it's kind of a hybrid of single stack in the front and double stack on the rim end. That should explain the rim overlap blocking the next round from feeding.

[@starfirerider]

My barrel is one of the bad ones but I called Customer service and They are sending me out a replacement

[@puschmannn]

8:58 those were 14 rounds and at 9:58 we had 15 rounds

[@archangel20031]

He can't think of another gun that has more than 10 rounds other than the Taurus? You think if he was on a gun Channel he'd be a gun guy and would know about some of the other guns out there like the Kel Tec guns, like the P17 (the 17 in the name stands for how many rounds the magazine holds) and the CP33! There is a couple other guns out there that hold more than 10 rounds as well!

[@staccatoglock]

8:58 was 14 rounds

[@puschmannn]

exactly, maybe he loaded 14 rounds or the gun had a hiccup

[@phillipweissburg1882]

I have this gun and I find it shoots high...did U find that????

[@jamesbranham2217]

The sights are adjustable

[@jasonmiller4046]

i cant find a tx22

[@gerryk3114]

Not supposed to use those tabs. The loading is like any other magazine, by just inserting each round.

[@thekentuckygunco]

Have you actually tried loading this magazine? With the spring system it has in the magazine, we found it tough to load it once you had more than 10 rounds in it. The tabs on this magazine are there for a reason, further Taurus now includes a magazine loader with this firearm (this was not originally included, but after customer complaints they realized how hard it is to load).

[@davidbrown2284]

I’ve shot at least 1200 rounds through it. I loaded the magazines like every other double stack mag. Didn’t have any issues. Mine did come with the little speed loader as well, while it’s easier on the fingers, I find it takes a little longer. Overall, absolutely love the TX22. Zero issues beyond a couple bad rounds. 22lr ammo is much more reliable than it was 5-6 years ago.

[@jonathantatler]

I don't know much about guns but isn't that just a two stage trigger? It's certainly the same as almost any air rifle available in the UK

[@jhnstn1]

Mine is breaking in nicely. There are a number of +3 conversions for the mags but you lose the loading knobs. Every time I take it out I can't help but think how much fun this would be if it was a .22 mag. A great training aid for female or first-time shooters. Very light, very little recoil or muzzle flip and will be great for teaching sight picture and trigger control. If you carry a G2 or G3, it will be an economical training aid with the cost of 9mm ammo these days.

[@kevin86674]

What is the price of this pistol?

[@onetrickpony5884]

kevin neel They are right at $300

[@eog5038]

MSRP is $349.99, but they have been found for about $100 less than that. Right now (October 2020) they're getting scarce, and $299.99 was the best price I could find (Sportsmans Outdoors Superstore - seems I got their last one, as now they say it's out of stock).
