Detailed Features 

• The TORO-cut slide accepts Shield RMSc and Holosun K footprint optics and comes with a Viridian RFX11 3 MOA green dot pre-installed. 
• A fixed white dot front sight and drift-adjustable serrated rear sight serve as backup irons if the optic is removed. 
• The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 for a suppressor or compensator. 
• Two 13-round staggered magazines ship with the pistol for extended range sessions without frequent reloads. 
• An ambidextrous manual thumb safety and the Taurus Performance Trigger System round out the control layout.

The TX22 platform has a following built on how cheap and pleasant it is to shoot, and the Compact variant keeps that reputation while trimming size for carry or a smaller hand. Owners who add the Viridian RFX11 optic on this package generally like having the dot pre-mounted and zeroed close out of the box rather than sourcing and fitting one themselves.

Handling-wise, the light weight and low recoil of .22 LR make it an easy gun to shoot for long sessions, and the Performance Trigger System draws regular praise for a cleaner break than older rimfire pistols. A common complaint with rimfire autos in general is ammunition sensitivity, so owners tend to settle on one or two loads that cycle reliably in their specific gun.

Value-wise, buyers comparing this package against a bare TX22 plus an aftermarket optic mount and sight tend to see the bundled Viridian RFX11 as the better deal, though a few would rather choose their own optic brand.
