    Taurus TX22 review

    Picked up a Taurus TX22 from Uncoiled a couple weeks back. Had the chance to put it through 4 range sessions since, 800rds total, all suppressed.

    Not being new to 22 pistols, I expected some break in or ammo sensitivity.

    First trip, pretty much one stovepipe per magazine, between the 3rd and 5th round in each mag. I was running 40gr Mini-Mags, switching to AE Suppressor and Tac22 helped on the first trip.

    Second trip, only Mini-Mags stove piped, just like the first time. Tac22 and AE Suppressor, Geco and Gemtech and CCI subs all ran great. I think the HV MIni-Mags had the slide cycling too fast suppressed.

    First trip, sights right out of the box, a little low and left.

    Third and fourth trip were the charm, without a cleaning since the first trip, she ran like a top for around 400rds. I brought the SR22 along on the last trip just to shoot them side by side. The TX22 blows away the Ruger for ergos, sights, trigger, balance and handling.

    fourth trip, SR22 headshots.

    The Plastic mags are solid and load very easily with the included loader. The trigger is sublime, light, clean with a short reset. This gun is exceptionally easy to stay on target, the recoil is straight back with no muzzle flip.

    Both targets above were at 20ft as fast as I could pull the trigger, doubles, triples and quads! Not trying for any grouping, just function and rapid fire on target.

    The Taurus TX22 is now my favorite suppressor host. Still love my MKIII, but the SR22 will probably stay in the safe unless the Taurus breaks!

    Extra mags are $22 bucks from Taurus, if the shipping isn't crazy, I'll get a couple more for fun!

    This one has been tempting me. They feel really nice and have a nice trigger also.

    Love mine! Lately it's been the only gun I'll take to the range! Super affordable for putting holes in paper! Out of 360 rds. of cheap Federal 36gr had a total of 4 FTE's and 1 striker hit FTF.

    Also purchased mine from Joel @ Uncoiled. Extremely knowledgeable and very courteous. Will be my new go-to shop without a doubt! Well worth the 45+ minute drive!

    Thanks for the review. I definitely want to pick one up after handling one in the store, but was leary because, well it's Taurus.

    Is the TX22 slide made of steel (magnetic)?
