TX22 Gen 2 owners praise the optic mounting system as straightforward and well-placed for a rimfire pistol. The two-tone FDE/Black finish is a consistent draw for buyers who wanted something visually distinct in the .22 LR category, and most report it holds up well with regular range use.

The threaded barrel is appreciated by owners who run suppressors, since the .22 LR platform is a natural match. The trigger splits opinions: many find it light and clean for a striker-fired rimfire, while others feel the reset is longer than ideal for fast follow-up shots. Magazine reliability is broadly positive, though a small number of owners note the 22-round mag requires careful loading.

Value feedback on the TX22 Gen 2 is strong relative to other optic-ready .22 pistols. The T.O.R.O. cut removes the cost of a separate adapter plate, which owners treat as a meaningful inclusion. The main criticism from cost-focused buyers is that the Taurus name still carries a reputation gap versus comparable rimfire platforms, though Gen 2 production quality has narrowed that perception noticeably.
