Taurus TX 22

Bought new today by a lady l know. She got to shoot it at the FFL indoor range where she bought it (Ladies get to shoot for free) and a few FTFeed. She bought 1070 fps ammo! And they sold it to her! She calls me, I’m like get your fine self up here we can get it to run faithful :smirk:. She gets here…


Give it a good cleaning, buff the little feed ramp, lube/assembly load up 2 mags of 1255 fps…

Not one hiccup!

4 mags total sweet little pistol. Dinner is on her tonight!

The TX22 is a great pistol - I like mine so much, I decided to use it in USPSA Steel Challenge.

I have a Gen I, so my first iteration I bought a rear-sight dovetail adapter plate from Galloway Precision and put a Vortex Venom atop it (no T.O.R.O. available at the time). It works, but there are issues with that solution.

My brother told me that Taurus had the “standard” Competition upper on sale for $160 - but they were Sold Out by the time I got to it. However… Taurus had for $180 the Competition Upper with a Kydex fitted holster and matching Mag carrier. I topped it with a Horoshun green dot (I absolutely love those dang things!)

Unfortunately, they don’t even have that SKU anywhere on the site anymore, because it worked so well I was going to get one more for The Wife’s TX.

If you don’t have a T.O.R.O. slide, and mount a plate - be sure to “bed” the plate in the dovetail with a sqwinch of blue or green loctite, in addition to some on the retaining screw.

One can still “build” a Competition upper from parts on Taurus’ site - you need a Comp slide (they have three colors available, I think), a Comp barrel (several from basic Black Nitride, to TiN Gold, to Rainbow vapor-deposition), the Comp guiderod/spring assembly, and the adapter plate to match the footprint of whichever Optic you plan to run.

The Optic mounts to the barrel on the Competition model, and slide assemblies and Competition Pistols come with an array of plates to fit virtually every optic out there. But purchasing a barrel itself, you don’t get that assortment.

The plates are really just thin “shims” with the proper pattern of studs and divots to anchor the front of whichever optic you choose - available individually on the site.

Note that “Standard” holsters for the TX22 may not fit the Competition slide - the optic mounts considerably forward compared to a dovetail adapter or T.O.R.O. slide, and the slides have a different cross-section, as the barrel is nearly twice the diameter on the Comp. It just drops on as easily, tho.

I had no idea! But l can see why and thank you for the education of this little rimfire! Gonna run some more mags through it tomorrow

Oh! - might need a thread-protector for that Comp barrel!

I don’t know if it comes with one, and I don’t believe the one from the standard barrel will fit.

It has one and a thread adapter too. She is just happy that it is a faithful runner. The trigger pull is noticeably smooth.

She has read your replies. She is like who is this? I’m like “Jefferson Creech got your back”… as many other’s do on this forum. I told her about this before l posted and now she knows

I love my TX22. I got the +5 mag bases from TandemKross, and a lightning loader from McFadden. Makes for a full day of fun shooting,

It looks like a 22 auto bolt from a rifle cut in half and pinned to the slide.

Finally got to the range today with a real target rather than ringing steel and what not with a bag of range rejects (picked up off the ground at an outdoor range). No fails on those but forgot to keep track of how many sent. Today one fail to feed between 270 and 280 with CCI Blazer LRN. 300 rds total today. No fails with Velocitiors, mini-mags segmented, hp and CPRN. The small circle with the 1 in it was my son, not me. Thoroughly impressed with this platform. That paper was out to 25 yds for about 20 the rest between 7 and 10 yds. Have yet to clean it.

I was right about the similarities to the Rock for cheaper training.




300 rds @ 60 CPR versus 10-15 CPR I’m well on my way to paying for the TX in one day.
