Unboxing and comparison of the new TX22

Taking a look at the new TX22 model from Taurus and comparing it to the original TX22. Some definite upgrades IMO. This is a solid line of .22LR pistols, no matter which model.

😊😊great infom this had help me out alot just got my today and it shoot great thanks again

[@johng.4959]

Nice concise review of the differences in GEN 2 vs. older model. I really like the more open slide upgrade. Looking at this vs. the P17 as my first 22LR. Thanks for the review!👍

[@untacticaltexan]

@@johng.4959 Thank you 🙏

[@Dontgetenslaved]

If you buy the P17 over this...there is something wrong in your brain.

[@karlwendell6177]

Ordered one and just got it today

[@michaelkeselman]

I love my og tx22. The new one looks awesome and with the upgrade

[@wandellasbell8843]

IAGREE BUT THE NEW ONE SHOULD BE OPTIC READY IN 2024

[@keithtate1241]

Very nice review. I have the original TX22 and I appreciate the comparison. I love the one I have but plan to try out the the new one when I get a chance. Have a blessed day 🙏.

[@untacticaltexan]

@@keithtate1241 Thanks for watching!

[@LARRY-kp9xm]

we need a slimmer grip and a melted slide for better conceal carry

[@SalvadorFrieri]

Thank you for this video! I would LOVE to see a comparison between the new TX22 and the FN502!!

[@Dontgetenslaved]

The only thing you get more of from the 509, is the price.

[@exionem]

Great video, does the COMPACT model have the same bull barrell as the new full size one? I love the compact version , since I can use it as a EDC but not too keen having a worse barrell. Thanks!

[@untacticaltexan]

No the compact has the same style barrel as the OG Tx22

[@exionem]

@@untacticaltexan Spot on. Thanks!

[@parkerkiewit3109]

Great video! Just picked up my Taurus tx .22 Gen 2. Do you know if there are dove tails out yet for the gen 2 non toro or would I have to cut the slide to get it optic ready?

[@untacticaltexan]

@@parkerkiewit3109 Might not be yet. Check Galloway Precision maybe.

[@Valorius]

A lot of people just swear by these pistols. I have a sig P322 to fill the 22 pistol role, but the Taurus sure does have a great reputation. Great review UT.

[@untacticaltexan]

Thanks brother! They really are great little pistols.

[@Valorius]

@@untacticaltexan So everyone tells me!

[@southmountain111]

My p322 was junk. Unreliable, and the slide lock was really weak

[@Valorius]

@@southmountain111 The only problem i've had with mine is the magazines.

[@miles267]

The P322 is amazing. Once you learn how to load the mags, it’s epic.

[@totenfurwotan4478]

Just got the ODG tx22. Threw my 5.56 can on for a backyard pop and it shot well

[@slothking50]

Hey, few questions for you. Can you swap slides with the original? Is the slide strengthened in the front so it doesn't crack? What's the recoils spring like now?

[@untacticaltexan]

The original slide and barrel will fit on the new frame. The slide is similar to the compact model, which I have not experienced any issues with. It's an upgraded recoil spring. I will show the internals when I make the next video on it.

[@stevescott8491]

Has the rear sight dovetail changed to a narrower slot? The rear sight looks like the one on the compact version. I don't own a tx22 yet but have a gen 2 on order and want to get the correct optics adapter plate to fit the gen 2 dovetail.

[@untacticaltexan]

@@stevescott8491 The dovetail is the same as the compact. They do offer the optics ready model of this, might be a better way to go if you are going to run a dot.

[@stevescott8491]

Thanks for the reply. My problem is I live in the Socialist republic of Illinois. The non threaded, 13 round mag version that is legal here doesn't offer it with optics ready slide.

[@untacticaltexan]

@@stevescott8491 Gotcha, that makes sense.

[@OfficerLahey420]

I already have the OG and the competition, might have to get me a 3rd Tx22 😅 I love this pistol!

[@untacticaltexan]

Same! Great line of pistols

[@randallupton3622]

Good in-boxing video. Help me out does the ejection port on that one look like the one on the competition? I have really been super impressed with the TX22s. Got the 4” then picked up the competition the reliability has been very good. I’ll be interested to see how this one shoots compared to the rest.

[@untacticaltexan]

They took some of the competition and the compact and put it in this. I now have all 4 models. They are great little pistols

[@untacticaltexan]

Yes the ejection port is similar to both the competition and compact

[@craigm1954]

@@untacticaltexan Just curious, I notice that Taurus specs say this version has a very fast twist barrel. When you get to shooting it, maybe you can tell if it holds decent accuracy at a little distance?

[@untacticaltexan]

@@craigm1954 I will cover that is the shooting review for sure

[@RIPPER334]

Bought the gen 2 as soon as it came out, and when it picked it up, realized it wasn't optic cut... Had to buy another one. I already had the gen 1, so I guess at this point I'm collecting the whole set. These are great little guns... I just wish Taurus would make these a tad heavier. They advertise it as a great training tool, but being honest, it feels like cap gun.

[@untacticaltexan]

@@RIPPER334 I made the same mistake, ordered it before I realized there was a non toro version. It is a great training tool, but I agree, little more heft would be nice

[@moelester6479]

I just picked one up. How do I get the mag rebate?

[@untacticaltexan]

[@JD-tn5lz]

TX22? I've had sights fly off, striker springs break, strikers snap, and slides BREAK And no, I don't run hot ammo. Perfect display of how some reliable guns aren't rugged and just how BAD Taurus warranty and customer service is. Essentially, they run and run and run, until something breaks or falls off...which WILL happen. The two worst experiences I've ever had with customer service has been with Taurus. So bad that I've resolved to just throw away my TX22 the next time something breaks. Yes, they eat almost everything, but even CCI Standard Velocity will break these things eventually and it's better to throw it away rather than deal with TaurusUSA.

[@untacticaltexan]

@@JD-tn5lz Goes to show people can have very different experiences with the same product. I guess I've been lucky so far, as I own all 4 models of the TX-22 and haven't had a major parts failure yet.

[@GeigerCounterVirtualMuseum]

@@untacticaltexanNeither have I. Also have all four examples and never a failure. Love them, so enjoyable at the range.

[@slayednpked1]

They need to reengineer the slide because it always seems to crack or snap where the spring fits into

[@untacticaltexan]

@@slayednpked1 Thankfully, I have not experienced that yet

[@Dontgetenslaved]

Shot over 8,000rd through my original, first run tx22...no snapping. You can't believe everything on KZbin. It isn't a big issue.

[@slayednpked1]

@@Dontgetenslaved I got the pics to prove it lol

[@Dontgetenslaved]

@@slayednpked1 I didn't say that it didn't happen at all. I've probably seen those same pictures off google as you. It's not like there were thousands upon thousands of cases. There aren't even a hundred..

[@Dontgetenslaved]

@@slayednpked1 I'm also talking from experience myself. I've had three of the Gen 1 because I loved it so much. One for suppressor use now and one not. Had a compact. Thousands of rounds out of them. No issues. I now have a gen 2. No issues so far. The slide is definitely not an issue the way they did it on the gen 2. It's a similar design of the competition model, just different cuts with more slide retained, with a slightly shorter barrel than the competition. No one I've seen has a snapped competition slide.
