This is one heck of a testimonial for this gun! 👍 I have 3,000 rounds thru my TX22 and no problems. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I am a little curious about the new Sig P322 but my TX will never be sold.
I have the TX22 and the TX22 competition model. I also bought my son a TX22 for him and the grandsons. When you ask which 22 they want to shoot the Ruger Mark 4 or the TX22. They always go for the TX22. I love both of mine. Try to take one of them every week when we go shooting. Will likely put a red dot on the Competition TX22.
Hey there. I'm a TX 22 man myself. I've shot a bunch of rounds, but I did have my slide replaced twice now. But, only when using a muzzle brake or can for a long time. Like 5k rounds in with either, it will get the smallest crack where the guide rod meets the top of the slide. Taurus had the best service. I had broken it a second time, was worried but sent it in, they paid shipping both ways and from the time I got it to the post office, mailed the Bainbridge Georgia, and back to Olive Hill KY...... ONE WEEK TOTAL. I mean wow right? But anyway, it's a little more expensive but my pistol shoots CCI standard velocity one tight hole ragged at 10 meters. And it's the cleanest dag on ammo you ever seen. You can shoot 100 rds and the ONLY thing that has any negligible carbon is in the chamber. If you pull the barrel out when it's still warm, pull a boresnake through it and that's it. Put it back together. Now it also loves Aguila standard velocity and cycles just live the CCI standard. No hiccups at all. BUT, it's dirty as crap so you'll be digging in to get it clean. But, I'm ranting cause I liveed the gun. And the only ammo mine will NOT shoot accurately is federal automatch. I don't know why but it's a shotgun pattern at 10 meters.lol Other than that I've shot 20 different kinds of ammo from cheap Herters ammo to Eley competition. They all shoot fairly well. Some have cycle issues but, all are accurate except that federal automatch. So, I stick with CCI standard velocity. Or other standard loading 1080fps ammo. Everyone needs one of these pistols. Last thing I swear, I would trust it for an EDC carry with the CCI standard velocity. In 5k rounds I've had 5 rounds not either fire or cycle. That's as good as about any centerfire IMHO. Have a great day and thanks for the video.
I have several Taurus pistols and my TX22 is great pistol. I have over a thousand rounds through it with only two failures to fire that was ammo related. The first five hundred rounds was Winchester Wildcat ammo I inherited from my father that was over 40 years old and only 2 bad rounds. The TX22 is accurate, reliable and eats everything I feed it. Thanks for the video and have a great day.
Want to thank you for your review, I was so impressed with the review, that I went and bought 1 myself, I am getting another Comp Model. I used TX22 as a trainer, 1000rds with no issues.
I just bought a Tx22 a couple of days ago and put a 325 round box of federal auto match cheap bulk ammo through it without any problems. Cleaned it up last night and will probably try to put another 325 round box through it this weekend. Very fun to shoot.
Mine has ate 1000s of rounds of federal automatch its my go to for plinking/shooting defensive I run federal punch before the punch line came out for rimfire ammo I use to run the stangers from cci 22 plinksters stinger version
Love mine! I got my TX22 at the end of 2021 had some feeding issues at first but that went away after a few hundred rounds. I got a TX22 Competition a couple of months ago and I like it even better!
Was on the fence about this gun, seen alot of comments about cracked slides and sights that won't stay put. I really wanted to but this gun, so now I will. Thanks for your review.
Awsome. I bought mine 3 weeks ago. Haven't shot it yet because we went to Cozmel last week. Had a tequila tasting, which was fanstastic, on an ATV excursion. Private label for all kinds of tequila. And 5 bottles of flavored. It was out in the jungle. Poor family. Anywayyyyy. I mentioned Agulia meaning Eagle, 22lr. This senior man loved it. And he had forgotten that it's made in Mexico.
Phenomenal gun. My first Taurus and it’s quite impressive. Not to mention it’s an incredible deal with a threaded barrel and 5 mags & leather case (rebate) for $299.
Awesome review and much appreciated! Thanks for bringing your experienced, fact found, and scientifically proven results and the time making this video! Like the truth!👍🏼
My tx 22 comp experience is not as rosey, 600 rnds fired, 73 stove pipes, 13 fte. Cleaned and oiled gun twice, cleaned mags with brush, lubricated mags with proper lubricant, used 4 different brands of ammo, (hence the 600 rnds) and nothing made any difference. Gun is now back to Taurus on warranty claim. Have read of others with same problems, so not an isolated incident. Others said Taurus would not pay the shipping for warranty claim, they are in my case, indicative that there may be many coming back. Hopeing it comes back fixed, wanted to love the gun, time will tell, maybe a bit of........Buyer Beware!!
Wow that many rounds is crazy I got around 9500 maybe 10k on my taurus tx22 green splatter love it I've carried with federal punch 22lr defensive ammo just ordered a new barrel for it for when I need it its still holding up decently I can tell it's lost a bit but still runs like a top!!
Have you tried to use the loader that came with the pistol. We had a problem with jams in our first class we used the guns in. After class we were trying to find our issue. My wife used the loader and she fired every round no jams. So I did the same. From that day forward we used the loader provided and no more jams for us.
My TX22 had lots of malfunctions at first. Then the slide developed a crack at the front. So I sent the gun back to Taurus, and they fixed it for free on warranty, replacing both the slide and the barrel. Performance was hugely improved, though not yet perfect. Then I saw a CZcams video which said to take apart and carefully clean out the magazines with a mag-cleaning brush, and that made the definitive difference. Performance is far more reliable now, and has been staying that way.
@sclegalcarry7979 Finally after thousands of round cleaning beyond measure it is now a smooth runner with only ammo related issues. The birth pains are behind me.
OK, Good for you but please let us know when you reach the 22000 mark so we can put it on a TV Show for a Record Count Down! We Can Wait several years! Ha Ha Ha!
Taurus is really starting to redeem itself with me. I used to think they were garbage but they've really been turning it around. Tx22, g3c, gx4, all perform.
I have a tx22 competition, only put 250 rounds through it so far, nothing but problems, mostly failure to feed, a few faulty ejections. Shooting CCI 40 grain lead projectile. I’m tending to think a fmj projectile is the way to go, any suggestions?
Most impressive testimonial lve ever heard on the Taurus TX22 WOW, My barrel had nearly NO RIFLING, I ordered a brand new one from Taurus and it looked about the same. I found a company "LakeLine" and ordered they're Marksman precision cut barrel which has Beautifully cut lands&grooves , They also make a optic ready Slides with the RMSC footprint "k" small footprint like Holosun 407k or 507k. also EPS carry "k" Enclosed Pistol Sight . They also make a comp. Slide like Sig's 365 Macro ( cuts on top as a compensator). Check them out 😁
do you use the Taurus recoil spring or lakeline??? my tx22 with the factory recoil spring seams to have some wear on the front of the slide i only got say 400/500 rounds!!
Mine is finicky. I did a warranty claim, they sent me a new barrel and mag. Still have issues. Failure to feed. Failure to eject. Mine absolutely hates Winchester and Remington. I told someone at the gun shop and they were shocked because they were using Thunderbolt. It is a super fun pew, when it works.
We use the loader that came with the gun. When we did not use the loader we had feed issues and ejection issues. Using the provided loaded solved our issues. Each round has to turn left then right as you load it. If one is out of the pattern it will cause you feed issues.
Just bought one and took it to the range with 200 rounds of CCI mini mags. Only got about 60 rounds through it. Gave up and went home. Stove pipes, light strikes and failure to feed galore. I cleaned gun and mags. The only thing i found wrong was a badly leaded barrel. AFTER 60 ROUNDS. I'm so mad, i just threw it in the safe. I need to cool down before deciding what to do with this junk. 7:53
UPDATE: Glad I put it away and cooled off. After a good cleaning and lubrication of the gun and working/cleaning of the magazines I took it back to the range today. 208 rounds of cci mini mags with ZERO failures. I should have cleaned and lubricated everything before ever shooting it I guess. It was very dry from the manufacturer. Only lubrication I saw was a little on the extractor. I'm really puzzled about the leading in the barrel because it didnt re occur after the cleaning. Very odd.
Shot mine for the first time yesterday. Had 4 or 5 failure to fires on Winchester ammo in the very first mag.. Looking at the shells...they showed very little if any evidence of a strike. I reloaded the mags with Remington Ammo and emptied both mags without failures.
We fed a variety of ammo to ours. And they ate what we fed them. I got some 38 ammo once and was pledged with misfires. You could see the primers were not set all the way forward. But once the hammer struck them they would seat. The next time through the revolver they fired. Totally diffrent case but sometimes manufacturers have some bad batches. Be Safe Tim
@@sclegalcarry7979 it was strange, I couldn’t see a mark where the striker had hit it. I picked the same shell back up and tried again. It fired on the 4th or 5th attempt. The Remington shells showed heavy strikes.
My rear sight fell off the other day. I never found the screw. Has this happened to anyone before? I only ran 3 mags through it. I will call Taurus tomorrow.
Love my TX, but have had bad problems with lead fouling. After about, give or take 100 rounds, the lead fouling was so bad it was becoming massively inaccurate, even at short distances. Would take me more than 50 passes with a brass brush to get the lead out of the barrel. Has been sent to Taurus twice now. The last time, they replaced the barrel. Still can’t shoot any bulk ammunition out of the gun, without it lead fouling. Taurus says to only shoot CCI. Anyone else experiencing this problem??? I bought this pistol to shoot as cheap as possible, which means shooting bulk ammunition, and have been told by Taurus, not to do that. Half way defeats the purpose of buying the pistol in the first place!
I shoot mostly Remington Golden ammo. Inexpensive. Mine are still shoot accurately. I have a squirl problem. So I got an adaptor and attached my dead air suppressor. I am killing squirls with one quest shot.
@@sclegalcarry7979 Thanks for the response. Wish I were having that type of experience with my TX. I’m extremely leery to try anything besides the recommended CCI now, because it is such a PITA to clean all the lead out of the barrel. I sent the gun to Taurus with the inside of the barrel caked with lead after less than about 150 rounds of Browning run thru it. Remington Thunderbolt did the same thing. These ammunition do fine in my other 22s. The TXs have a relatively short warranty period and that ran out shortly after they replaced the barrel.😒
Very impressive.....I am between the Taurus and the new Sig 322.....I would like to ask you how the magazines have faired ? Sometimes a pistol is outstanding but the mags break and fail... after all they are plastic....
I have around 60 mags. None have broken or caused any issues. I am very impressed with how well the guns and mags have held up. I am teaching my nephew to shoot now using o e of these pistols. He has had no failures so far. I need some failures so he can learn to clear the pistol. But the guns just keep running.
I’ve got deep gauges in my slide spring well caused by the stock spring after 500 rounds. Taurus won’t even answer my emails. UPDATE: I was able to contact Taurus about the problem with the slide. They sent a return label to ship the pistol back for repair. They kept it a little over 2 weeks and when I got it back there was a new slide and spring. While my pistol was in for repair I ordered a new spring from Galloway Precision and installed it as soon as my pistol was returned to me I’m now looking forward to firing thousand of trouble free rounds through my repaired TX22
@@joewodon4338 good luck, they most likely won’t. I called and emailed them over 26 times with in a month long period and finally got through after a 2 hr and 45 minute wait. I also commented on every post they did on instagram about not being able to get ahold of anyone. Someone finally reached out, then that’s when I started calling. Took them 9 months to fix something that took less that 30 seconds to fix.
I had an issue with one of mine out of the box. They sent me a new one. No more issues. I purchased a used TCP 22Lr and it had extraction issues. I sent it to Taurus and they called me and offered me a Taurus G2C 9mm to replace it. It was a great trade. I only paid $75.00 for the TCP.
I hope the fix your issue. I have 9 Baretta Neos that Will not run. All with the same problem. Beretta will do nothing to help me. I bought them all new.
Very accurate and fun gun to shoot but finicky with some ammo. Whereas KelTec P17 is much more forgiving even with junk ammo and little more fun to shoot. Slightly lighter with lighter trigger. super accurate.
Well, This should be in Ripley's Believe it Or Not But I have to feel this is a Sham! I think Taurus is becoming Desperate to Promote this 22LR Gun as the all time best ever 22LR Gun but IMO it is far from being the best! You can believe it or not but even if it is tru, SO What! This in Itself does not prove that it is the Best because the Competition in this platform is the hottest ever in the Gun Industry right Now and I really would like this to be Verified by how many times this gun had to be serviced, How many malfunctions or parts replaced! This is something that we will Never find out, so Like I said, SO WHAT!
Loom my old videos. Sclegalcarry.com I have been South Carolina Law Enforcment certified Concealed Weapons Permit Instructor since 2013. I quickly learned that having 26 strangers bring guns to a class was dangerous. It's simple people lie about their gun experience. Or they only know what their drunkard uncle buck taught them about guns and they just don't k oe what they don't know. So, I decided that providing guns ammo and everything needed for the range created a safe environment for everyone on the range. I still have the pistols. Me and my wife and daughter still shoot them together. I just taught my 9 year old nephew to shoot pistols with one of these guns. After deer season I will teach his sister to shoot using one of these guns. And would invite you to come and join me at the range and shoot each one. I have plenty of ammo left to shoot. Now my Chanell is wheelmanfmj look me up and get some insight into why I had to stop classes. And no I have done know work to these guns. But that bag full of busted Barrttas cost me a fortune trying to keep them running. They are a bag of junk.
I agree....there is no way the pistol shown in this video has 225k through it. The finish on both the barrel hood and slide look almost new. I still have my first GLOCK Gen 2 G19 9mm I bought new in 1993 for $379.00 + 5% sales tax. It has 25k - 30k through it and is nearly 30 years old. You can DEFINATELY tell it has been shot and carried. I also have a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 (pre Mil-Spec) in .45 ACP I bought new in 1990 for $325 + 5% sales tax. It too has somewhere between 25k - 30k through it. You can also tell this pistol is 32 almost 33 years old and has DEFINATELY been shot and carried A LOT!
Does not help if your CWP is based on the caliber of gun you intend to use. Who wants it to be a 22? What about their barrel problems. Did they get that fixed.
I have a shield plus as my EDC, but occasionally carry the tx22. I use CCI mini mags since I got it, with zero issues with around a thousand rounds. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.
I am impressed with the guns performance! However the headline is “225,000 rounds through my Taurus TX22” is misleading. Should be something like “Our Taurus TX22 hand guns went through 225,000 rounds”.
A whole lot of shooting for sure.. I doubt any of my guns will ever see 2000 rounds.. I shoot fairly often but maybe 50 rounds through one gun then over to another..
I have a nephew who suddenly wanted to go shooting. He shows up with 2000 rounds, and burns em up in fifteen minutes--he is a new shooter and knows nothing about shooting but man he burns up a lot of ammo.
bougt one of these , can't get over 34 rounds before it would jam, send it to factory, got it back still can't do over 30 rounds, last 200 rounds 50 jams bullets bent just will not feed. gun is junk , back to factory again, don't expect much , guess I bought a paper weight
Are you using the small plastic loader that came with it. If we did not use that loaded to load we would have some feeding issues. That loader makes all the difference in the feeding of the pistol.
I had 2 friends that purchased these also. One we could not disassemble it they replaced it. And another just was not accurate. They replaced it. I know several other people that purchased and are happy also. I hope Taurus gets yours running.
225,000 rnds. Divided by 6 guns = 37,500 Per gun. Get back when you have 200,000 per gun.!! Lately I've seen problems with the polymer frame, if that continues, I will not buy it.! I'll stick with all metal frames instead, want a gun that's going to last for a very, very long time.!!
How many rounds do you have through your TX? I challenge you to find one person with this many rounds through one gun. And I have 6. How long does it take you to put 37500 rounds through a gun. Have you done this. I think the results are pretty impressive for these budget guns. Your tough to impress.
You realize how ignorant you sound? A quick google search will show you how tough polymer actually is and in most cases will outlast metal. Leave your metal gun outside for a couple weeks and see how well it fairs….

What are you talking about? What is deactivating? Never heard of that. I joined the Marine Corps in 1985 and I have been shooting ever since. Can you help my with deactivating?
@@sclegalcarry7979 Pulling the trigger with no intention of shooting,or dry fire. The trigger is for shooting the gun. Why did you pull the trigger @7:01?
@@soldieroftoughlove7635 You don't do dry fire practice. That is a very important skill to learn. I dry fire my pistol every day. When I train people that is one of the first skills that I teach them. By performing dry fire you learn trigger control and you learn to not move the firearm as you pull the trigger. 98% of people tighten other muscles in their hands and arms as they pull the trigger. That is the main reason they have the scatter pattern on their target. I can work with a person for 15 min on dry firing and diagnose what they are doing wrong and teach them skills to stop that. I shoot IDPA, USPA, and steel challenge from Colorado to West Virgia all the way to Florida. I have shot with some of the best most accurate fastes shooters in the world. And everyone of them dry fire. The first thing we learned on Parris Island in South Carolina was trigger control and we learned it by dry firing. I encourage you to go and take some marksmanship classes. There is lot to be learned out there. I learn new tho gs all the time. Be Safe.
You have not shot competion before or been in any pistol class. For safety. You always keep your pistol pointed down range, remove your mag, check your chamber, slide forward, then squeeze the trigger. Then re-holster. It's basic range safety. It's called running a cold range. Keep learning. Questioning and conversation is how we learn. Please take some classes. I know you have heard this before in the gun world. You just don't know , what you just don't know. Keep learning. Be Safe
Right off the bat, click bait. It is not a "single" firearm that fired that many rounds. Within one minute you state six were used. Hard to believe anything else you have to say sir. I have two, both have performed phenomenally. Blocking your channel, too much BS floating around these days.
Great report -- don't see many people that have put that many rounds in their TX22. Makes me glad I have both models.

@@stevekatz4372 I’ve lost count anymore but i shoot about 1k rds a week with that thing
i love my tx22. wished i got to buy a tan one instead of the black one. would love to have a matching one for my g3
Taurus is really starting to redeem itself with me. I used to think they were garbage but they've really been turning it around. Tx22, g3c, gx4, all perform.
As a newb on a tight budget, I seem to have made a lot of great decisions 🤣TX-22, G3C, M&P Shield Plus...
What ammo do you use?
I love mine
I have a tx22 competition, only put 250 rounds through it so far, nothing but problems, mostly failure to feed, a few faulty ejections. Shooting CCI 40 grain lead projectile. I’m tending to think a fmj projectile is the way to go, any suggestions?
Impressive
I saw a TX22 competition model in the gun counter at the Rock Hill SC Academy Sports a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if it's still there though.
They sell them as soon as they get one in. I'll keep checking. Thanks.
Most impressive testimonial lve ever heard on the Taurus TX22 WOW, My barrel had nearly NO RIFLING, I ordered a brand new one from Taurus and it looked about the same. I found a company "LakeLine" and ordered they're Marksman precision cut barrel which has Beautifully cut lands&grooves , They also make a optic ready Slides with the RMSC footprint "k" small footprint like Holosun 407k or 507k. also EPS carry "k" Enclosed Pistol Sight . They also make a comp. Slide like Sig's 365 Macro ( cuts on top as a compensator). Check them out 😁
I want to get a tx22 for my first edc. I just fear it’s not lethal enough to carry for self defense. I’d appreciate all advice
do you use the Taurus recoil spring or lakeline??? my tx22 with the factory recoil spring seams to have some wear on the front of the slide i only got say 400/500 rounds!!
All 7 pistols still have all original factory parts.
I installed the stainless steel from Lakeline. Works great ,got maybe 1000 rounds thru mine
Mine is finicky. I did a warranty claim, they sent me a new barrel and mag. Still have issues. Failure to feed. Failure to eject. Mine absolutely hates Winchester and Remington. I told someone at the gun shop and they were shocked because they were using Thunderbolt. It is a super fun pew, when it works.
We use the loader that came with the gun. When we did not use the loader we had feed issues and ejection issues. Using the provided loaded solved our issues. Each round has to turn left then right as you load it. If one is out of the pattern it will cause you feed issues.
How do you make this gun a lefty.
Tell us another one !!!
Just bought one and took it to the range with 200 rounds of CCI mini mags. Only got about 60 rounds through it. Gave up and went home. Stove pipes, light strikes and failure to feed galore. I cleaned gun and mags. The only thing i found wrong was a badly leaded barrel. AFTER 60 ROUNDS. I'm so mad, i just threw it in the safe. I need to cool down before deciding what to do with this junk. 7:53
UPDATE: Glad I put it away and cooled off. After a good cleaning and lubrication of the gun and working/cleaning of the magazines I took it back to the range today. 208 rounds of cci mini mags with ZERO failures. I should have cleaned and lubricated everything before ever shooting it I guess. It was very dry from the manufacturer. Only lubrication I saw was a little on the extractor. I'm really puzzled about the leading in the barrel because it didnt re occur after the cleaning. Very odd.
CCI inconsistencies abound, too.
Quite the teetimonial.
Subbed
What is subbed?

Mine won’t feed reliably. Pins on the competition models walk out from the slide all the time. Anyone know how to stop that?
Shot mine for the first time yesterday. Had 4 or 5 failure to fires on Winchester ammo in the very first mag.. Looking at the shells...they showed very little if any evidence of a strike. I reloaded the mags with Remington Ammo and emptied both mags without failures.
We fed a variety of ammo to ours. And they ate what we fed them. I got some 38 ammo once and was pledged with misfires. You could see the primers were not set all the way forward. But once the hammer struck them they would seat. The next time through the revolver they fired.
Totally diffrent case but sometimes manufacturers have some bad batches.
Be Safe

@@sclegalcarry7979 it was strange, I couldn’t see a mark where the striker had hit it. I picked the same shell back up and tried again. It fired on the 4th or 5th attempt. The Remington shells showed heavy strikes.
It doesn’t like the white box winchester hollow points
My rear sight fell off the other day. I never found the screw. Has this happened to anyone before? I only ran 3 mags through it. I will call Taurus tomorrow.
Love my TX, but have had bad problems with lead fouling. After about, give or take 100 rounds, the lead fouling was so bad it was becoming massively inaccurate, even at short distances. Would take me more than 50 passes with a brass brush to get the lead out of the barrel. Has been sent to Taurus twice now. The last time, they replaced the barrel. Still can’t shoot any bulk ammunition out of the gun, without it lead fouling. Taurus says to only shoot CCI. Anyone else experiencing this problem??? I bought this pistol to shoot as cheap as possible, which means shooting bulk ammunition, and have been told by Taurus, not to do that. Half way defeats the purpose of buying the pistol in the first place!
I shoot mostly Remington Golden ammo. Inexpensive. Mine are still shoot accurately. I have a squirl problem. So I got an adaptor and attached my dead air suppressor. I am killing squirls with one quest shot.
@@sclegalcarry7979 Thanks for the response. Wish I were having that type of experience with my TX. I’m extremely leery to try anything besides the recommended CCI now, because it is such a PITA to clean all the lead out of the barrel. I sent the gun to Taurus with the inside of the barrel caked with lead after less than about 150 rounds of Browning run thru it. Remington Thunderbolt did the same thing. These ammunition do fine in my other 22s. The TXs have a relatively short warranty period and that ran out shortly after they replaced the barrel.😒
Very impressive.....I am between the Taurus and the new Sig 322.....I would like to ask you how the magazines have faired ? Sometimes a pistol is outstanding but the mags break and fail... after all they are plastic....
I have around 60 mags. None have broken or caused any issues. I am very impressed with how well the guns and mags have held up. I am teaching my nephew to shoot now using o e of these pistols. He has had no failures so far. I need some failures so he can learn to clear the pistol. But the guns just keep running.
@@sclegalcarry7979 thank you for your reply.
Which one did you get? I was having the same concern.
I went for both......both are outstanding.....can't go wrong with either.....Taurus is less money if you are frugal....
Not a fan of plastic mags, have a mountain eagle that plastic mags worn out, none out there, throw away gun, and loved to shoot that gun.
I’ve got deep gauges in my slide spring well caused by the stock spring after 500 rounds. Taurus won’t even answer my emails.
UPDATE: I was able to contact Taurus about the problem with the slide. They sent a return label to ship the pistol back for repair. They kept it a little over 2 weeks and when I got it back there was a new slide and spring. While my pistol was in for repair I ordered a new spring from Galloway Precision and installed it as soon as my pistol was returned to me
I’m now looking forward to firing thousand of trouble free rounds through my repaired TX22

@@joewodon4338 good luck, they most likely won’t. I called and emailed them over 26 times with in a month long period and finally got through after a 2 hr and 45 minute wait.

Took them 9 months to fix something that took less that 30 seconds to fix.
At an average of 10c a round , not a bad way to potentially invest $22,500 with 6 $300 handguns 👌
Puts you at $3750 per
Mine was bad out of the box, good luck with Taurus service. Never ever would I buy a Taurus again.
I had an issue with one of mine out of the box. They sent me a new one. No more issues. I purchased a used TCP 22Lr and it had extraction issues. I sent it to Taurus and they called me and offered me a Taurus G2C 9mm to replace it. It was a great trade. I only paid $75.00 for the TCP.
I hope the fix your issue. I have 9 Baretta Neos that Will not run. All with the same problem. Beretta will do nothing to help me. I bought them all new.
Very accurate and fun gun to shoot but finicky with some ammo. Whereas KelTec P17 is much more forgiving even with junk ammo and little more fun to shoot. Slightly lighter with lighter trigger. super accurate.
My P17 has been a stovepipe machine, might as well be a single shot.
@@TheOfficialCaseMadesend it back?
@@ubob38 out of warranty and I don't want to spend $30 shipping + parts and labor just to fix a $200 gun.

@@ubob38 warranty only applies to the original purchaser, I got it used. I believe the extractor or extractor spring was bad.
Well, This should be in Ripley's Believe it Or Not But I have to feel this is a Sham! I think Taurus is becoming Desperate to Promote this 22LR Gun as the all time best ever 22LR Gun but IMO it is far from being the best! You can believe it or not but even if it is tru, SO What! This in Itself does not prove that it is the Best because the Competition in this platform is the hottest ever in the Gun Industry right Now and I really would like this to be Verified by how many times this gun had to be serviced, How many malfunctions or parts replaced! This is something that we will Never find out, so Like I said, SO WHAT!
Loom my old videos. Sclegalcarry.com I have been South Carolina Law Enforcment certified Concealed Weapons Permit Instructor since 2013. I quickly learned that having 26 strangers bring guns to a class was dangerous. It's simple people lie about their gun experience. Or they only know what their drunkard uncle buck taught them about guns and they just don't k oe what they don't know.
So, I decided that providing guns ammo and everything needed for the range created a safe environment for everyone on the range.
I still have the pistols. Me and my wife and daughter still shoot them together. I just taught my 9 year old nephew to shoot pistols with one of these guns. After deer season I will teach his sister to shoot using one of these guns.
And would invite you to come and join me at the range and shoot each one. I have plenty of ammo left to shoot.
Now my Chanell is wheelmanfmj look me up and get some insight into why I had to stop classes.
And no I have done know work to these guns. But that bag full of busted Barrttas cost me a fortune trying to keep them running. They are a bag of junk.
I agree....there is no way the pistol shown in this video has 225k through it. The finish on both the barrel hood and slide look almost new. I still have my first GLOCK Gen 2 G19 9mm I bought new in 1993 for $379.00 + 5% sales tax. It has 25k - 30k through it and is nearly 30 years old. You can DEFINATELY tell it has been shot and carried. I also have a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 (pre Mil-Spec) in .45 ACP I bought new in 1990 for $325 + 5% sales tax. It too has somewhere between 25k - 30k through it. You can also tell this pistol is 32 almost 33 years old and has DEFINATELY been shot and carried A LOT!
Does not help if your CWP is based on the caliber of gun you intend to use. Who wants it to be a 22? What about their barrel problems. Did they get that fixed.
"...shall not be infringed..."
I just bought one the other day can’t wait to shoot it
So i did the math, 225000 rounds is 4500 boxes @ 50 rounds per box if you paid about $4 per box thats about $18000 you must be rich.
Most .22lr problems are ammo associated. .22lr is a great choice of caliber for self defense. Shot placement is all that matters
Anyone on here use their tx22 for a carry gun? If so what ammo would yall prefer?
I carry a 9 or 357 or my 44 mag. I do have a small pug that is chambered in 22 mag that I keep in my front pocket.
Federal punch and yes my EDC
Winchester silver tips alternated with CCI stangers (22plinksters )
Federal Punch and getting close and closer everyday to being my EDC.
I have a shield plus as my EDC, but occasionally carry the tx22.
I use CCI mini mags since I got it, with zero issues with around a thousand rounds.
Good luck, have fun, and be safe.
Cliiiiiiiiiick bait!
You are not impressed with guns reliability after all the round that were put through them in our school.
I am impressed with the guns performance! However the headline is “225,000 rounds through my Taurus TX22” is misleading. Should be something like “Our Taurus TX22 hand guns went through 225,000 rounds”.
A whole lot of shooting for sure.. I doubt any of my guns will ever see 2000 rounds.. I shoot fairly often but maybe 50 rounds through one gun then over to another..
I have a nephew who suddenly wanted to go shooting. He shows up with 2000 rounds, and burns em up in fifteen minutes--he is a new shooter and knows nothing about shooting but man he burns up a lot of ammo.
Nice video, interesting information. Next time, shoot out of the wind, or use a small lavalier (lapel) mic to improve the audio.
I am 45 min from the house. When I started it was a calm day. That wind came rushing in and screwed up my sound. I worked with what I had. Be Safe
most don't think 22 is carry qualify
bougt one of these , can't get over 34 rounds before it would jam, send it to factory, got it back still can't do over 30 rounds, last 200 rounds 50 jams bullets bent just will not feed. gun is junk , back to factory again, don't expect much , guess I bought a paper weight
Are you using the small plastic loader that came with it. If we did not use that loaded to load we would have some feeding issues. That loader makes all the difference in the feeding of the pistol.
I had 2 friends that purchased these also. One we could not disassemble it they replaced it. And another just was not accurate. They replaced it. I know several other people that purchased and are happy also.
I hope Taurus gets yours running.
sounds like you got a dud or youre loading the mags wrong.
My experience also, wish I would have bought the ruger!!
Glock has a Glock 44 that has 1 million rounds through it.
I'm surprised it didn't blow up. I've seen more than one video of the 44 blowing up in someone's hand.

Lately I've seen problems with the polymer frame, if that continues, I will not buy it.!
I'll stick with all metal frames instead, want a gun that's going to last for a very, very long time.!!
How many rounds do you have through your TX?
I challenge you to find one person with this many rounds through one gun. And I have 6. How long does it take you to put 37500 rounds through a gun. Have you done this. I think the results are pretty impressive for these budget guns.
Your tough to impress.
You realize how ignorant you sound? A quick google search will show you how tough polymer actually is and in most cases will outlast metal. Leave your metal gun outside for a couple weeks and see how well it fairs….

@@sclegalcarry7979
Pulling the trigger with no intention of shooting,or dry fire.
The trigger is for shooting the gun.
Why did you pull the trigger @7:01?
@@soldieroftoughlove7635 You don't do dry fire practice. That is a very important skill to learn. I dry fire my pistol every day. When I train people that is one of the first skills that I teach them. By performing dry fire you learn trigger control and you learn to not move the firearm as you pull the trigger. 98% of people tighten other muscles in their hands and arms as they pull the trigger. That is the main reason they have the scatter pattern on their target. I can work with a person for 15 min on dry firing and diagnose what they are doing wrong and teach them skills to stop that. I shoot IDPA, USPA, and steel challenge from Colorado to West Virgia all the way to Florida. I have shot with some of the best most accurate fastes shooters in the world.
And everyone of them dry fire. The first thing we learned on Parris Island in South Carolina was trigger control and we learned it by dry firing.
I encourage you to go and take some marksmanship classes.
There is lot to be learned out there. I learn new tho gs all the time.
Be Safe.
@@sclegalcarry7979
You were not dry firing. Dry fire is simulated shooting. You were not even looking at the gun or where it was pointed.
You have not shot competion before or been in any pistol class. For safety. You always keep your pistol pointed down range, remove your mag, check your chamber, slide forward, then squeeze the trigger. Then re-holster.
It's basic range safety. It's called running a cold range. Keep learning. Questioning and conversation is how we learn. Please take some classes. I know you have heard this before in the gun world. You just don't know , what you just don't know.
Keep learning.
Be Safe
Right off the bat, click bait. It is not a "single" firearm that fired that many rounds. Within one minute you state six were used.
