The aluminum slide keeps weight down while giving the gun a more solid feel than an all-polymer design. Sights are fixed white dot front with adjustable rear, which is practical for a training or target gun. The ambidextrous manual safety works for left- and right-handed shooters without modification. The striker-fired trigger is consistent across the pull, which some shooters find easier to train with than a double/single-action design. .22 LR is cheaper to shoot than centerfire calibers, which makes this gun a practical choice for high-volume practice. ### Target Audience New shooters benefit from the low recoil and straightforward controls. Experienced shooters who want a low-cost training gun that mimics a full-size striker-fired pistol's manual of arms use it for that purpose. The 16-round capacity and caliber also make it usable in Steel Challenge competition. ### Usage Scenarios Target practice at the range is the most common use. The .22 LR keeps ammunition costs low for extended sessions. The TX22 has also found a following in Steel Challenge and rimfire pistol competitions where the high capacity and lightweight trigger help. Home defense is a secondary role; the .22 LR has limitations in that context, though the gun functions reliably for those who choose it. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the TX22?** A: The TX22 is chambered in .22 LR. **Q: Who makes the TX22?** A: The TX22 is made by Taurus. **Q: What is the barrel length of the TX22?** A: The TX22 has a 4.1-inch barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the TX22 hold?** A: It has a 16+1 capacity. **Q: What type of firearm is the TX22?** A: The TX22 is a full-size, striker-fired, polymer-frame pistol with an aluminum slide. **Q: Where can I buy the TX22?** A: Compare current vendor offers on this page. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > It's got a little bit of mush to it but once it stops it breaks very clean and the trigger reset is very short. > > — [22plinkster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYPwpy779w&t=266s) > It's not it's absolutely awesome I think it's the king of the 22 semi-autos um as far as polymers go. > > — [9 Mil Ridge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FSXDo1Ko4o&t=19s) > I've been shooting I cannot move the sight down far enough I'm always printing high. > > — [22plinkster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYPwpy779w&t=320s) > Another thing that is one of the cons for me are the magazines they're not the worst magazines in the world. > > — [22plinkster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYPwpy779w&t=359s) > I am very impressed with the accuracy of this handgun I don't know if it's me or if it's the handgun but I can shoot it extremely well in my opinion. > > — [22plinkster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYPwpy779w&t=403s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* TX22 owners in OD Green discuss the gun similarly to other TX22 variants, with the finish being an aesthetic choice rather than a performance factor. The 16-round capacity is consistently praised. Most .22 LR pistols in this price range hold 10 rounds; going to 16 rounds noticeably reduces interruptions during range sessions and matters in rimfire competition. Accuracy at typical pistol distances gets positive marks. The adjustable rear sight lets shooters dial in zero without aftermarket components, which is appreciated at this price point. Ammunition sensitivity is the main issue that comes up in negative feedback. Like most .22 LR pistols, the TX22 can be finicky about what it feeds reliably. Bulk plinking ammo with recessed primers or inconsistent dimensions causes more feeding failures than quality match or defensive ammo. Most owners who run quality ammunition report minimal issues; those who run the cheapest possible ammo have more complaints. A break-in period of a few hundred rounds is commonly recommended before drawing conclusions. The trigger pull is considered good for the price range. It's smooth and predictable, which is useful for developing consistent technique. Value is the consistent positive note. The TX22 costs less than most comparable striker-fired .22 pistols and delivers the features that matter for training and recreational use. ## Pricing **1 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Gunbuyer Com | $282.10 | ## Similar Products - [Taurus TX22 Full-Size .22LR Pistol, Matte Black, 16+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-full-size-22lr-pistol-matte-black-16-1-capacity/UCClj85hb) - [Taurus TX22 FDE .22LR Pistol - Lightweight, Accurate, 10+1 Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-fde-22lr-pistol-lightweight-accurate-10-1-capacity/UCClj85Nm) - [Taurus TX22 .22 LR SAO Pistol - Ergonomic, Threaded, Lightweight](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-22-lr-sao-pistol-ergonomic-threaded-lightweight/UCClj85P9) - [Taurus TX22 .22 LR SAO Pistol - Ergonomic & Lightweight Shooter](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-22-lr-sao-pistol-ergonomic-lightweight-shooter/UCClj85HV) - [Taurus TX22 .22LR Full-Size Pistol - Ergonomic, Lightweight, Accurate](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-22lr-full-size-pistol-ergonomic-lightweight-accurate/UCClj85SE) - [Taurus TX22 Gen 2 TORO .22LR Optics-Ready Sport & Training Pistol](https://gunsnation.com/p/taurus-tx22-gen-2-toro-22lr-optics-ready-sport-training-pistol/UCClj87q8) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
