TX22
I know David Freeman covered the TX22 (American Handgunner Mar/April 2019) but thought this follow-up would be good. I’ve lived with this test gun for quite some time now. Did it hold up? You bet!
I started everyone in the family, kids and grandkids, shooting with a .22 pistol. Now more than 50 years later my oldest daughter still shoots .22’s with me once a week. For the past summer I’ve been taking along various .22 pistols from different manufacturers. We always have a supply of many different .22 cartridges to try and several of these pistols were quite prone to jamming with some versions of the ammo. In fact, it happened so often my daughter decided she would learn how to take care of jams herself instead of asking me to do it. Sometimes it gets very frustrating.
However, the past few weeks have been very enjoyable as she’s been shooting the Taurus TX22. This little pistol costs one-half to one-third of some of the others, however it always, and I mean always works. No matter what ammunition we try every round always feeds and ejects. I have personally put over 600 rounds through this Taurus and have never had a failure to feed or eject. It is a rare semi-auto .22 with this attribute.
