Ordered one from PSA for $249 in midnight bronze. Wasn't sure I'd like to color but it grows on you. It sparkles at the discos. And turns dark when lights are dim. I like it so much I bought another for my little sister who just turned 60. We both have been into guns since the mid-60s. My first rifle wouldn't fit in the mailbox so the mailman hand deliver the box to me. Here you go Mike.
Looks like the rifle you've been waiting for all week. Now go inside and get warm. And oil up that new Ithaca lever action. I must have told him about it 10 times while waiting.
Got it the day before Christmas. I still feel like Ralphie every time I pick it up.
More 22s and accessories please! Thanks for not being too gunsnob to pick up a Taurus.
I wouldn't pick up any 22 pistol, I don't care whose logo is on the slide.
@193001 kiplssd Huh?

My favorite pistol is a Taurus, my least favorite revolver was a Taurus. They are getting better and I'd recommend a Taurus.
I live in Bainbridge Ga.and Taurus is now making guns here...i got one of the first 2000 Tx22s they made here and it shoots great...glad to have them here in our community and bringing jobs to our town.
This is a great gun! Taurus has really improved its quality while keeping its prices low.
When I was shopping for this caliber this gun I fell in love with. The price and amount of rounds hooked me. I never had failures at all. I have shot CCI mini mags. Sorry for those who have had a bad experience, but mine has been smooth 🤘
Love mine. I've had no issues in the 6 months I've had it. And for comparison purposes for those interested, I got mine for $212 in March
Another great gun review.
Good job Mr.Sins
Love my TX all day long. Extended mags (16+1 to 20+1) stainless guide rod, and red dot - so glad I got this before the "Plan demic" kicked off. Now I've got tons of 22lr (thanks for the heads up video) but can't get to the range. Thanks for the videos.
Picked one up at Academy here locally. The ergonomics are on point.
I have a TX22 and had to be sent a new barrel. And now she runs great. It is now a great gun. Thank you for the video.
I’ve had mine over 1 year, put approximately 5000 rounds of everything from CCI mini mags to cheap bulk ammunition. This gun runs! Very few malfunctions. I just cleaned it yesterday & it was filthy...but it still ran reliably. I would highly recommend this pistol to anyone wanting a excellent reliable .22.
I have a few friends who have this pistol and it's pretty awesome but I'm still loving my M&P 22 Compact. Nothing beats a good reliable .22 autoloader for training and fun though 🙂👍
I was thinking about getting the M&P 22 but will consider this now. Thanks for the review.
My wife just bought one of these and went through the whole FFL process, she loves it, she was watching your cleaning video the other day and asked about the suppressor... now to explain the evils of the NFA and stamps
I am so happy that Taurus has been getting great reviews on their latest offerings. I always felt that Taurus took more hate than it deserved as a company as a whole. yes, there were issues with specific firearms but over all the company has been pretty solid over their many years. What company has a 100% track record. Unfortunately, the less than trendy companies are always treated like a red headed step child in comparison to the "elite" manufacturers...low hanging fruit is for the short minded.
No, Taurus truly deserves the hate. There's very few gun manufacturers who suck this bad, make this much crap, listen as little as possible to customers, and do the least amount of quality control. There's a reason they're picked on and the earned it. I've had my ONE Taurus and it sucked the big one...right out of the box, not feeding FMJ or JHPs...and yes, as often reported, their customer service is pathetic...they said, "Break it in" ...then they said "try new mags" ...then try different ammo...etc. etc....just passing the buck. It's a company of marketing prowess, not of shooters.
Taurus releasing hand grenade revolvers is a huge issue that they need to be held accountable for
Jonathan Smith - recent or history?
I've always had good luck with Taurus guns, semi and revolver so I can't understand why people hate on them so much.
Love mine! It does have its issues (I got a barrel from a batch that was reportedly bad) as I talked about in my video review. Currently waiting on a barrel replacement. Great training tool. Even with the bad barrel, it still eats anything I throw in it. Accuracy is decent as well.
the Taurus 22 with the little Bowers can made me laugh for some reason :) Great review as always brother!
Awesome review! My wife just bought one without the manual safety for $280 shipped. Looking forward to taking it out on the range when it arrives
Just one today! It sat at the local gun shop for a few weeks so I took it home.
810 rounds through mine so far. 1 failure to fire with CCI poly cased (red, white, & blue). That ammunition also appeared to tumble from what I saw on paper targets. That ammo aside, great gun. Accurate, comfortable, easy to clean... etc. Fun too.
My wife and I both have one. Only malfs have been a couple failures to fire...rimfire...and one failure to extract...bulk ammo...out of about 2000 rounds. Fun and really accurate out to 30 yards so far. Fun little gun.
I got one of the first 2000 ones made in Bainbridge, ga right after they moved from Miami. I love mine.
Love mine it eats anything I put in it. Couldn’t be happier with a cheap .22 lr plinker 🇺🇸
I really like the suppressor you have mounted on that.
Have one - love it. I've introduced several new Shooters to the range with this firearm. No negative issues at all.
From what I understand this pistol was originally made in 9mm and currently in use overseas since it can't be imported here. That is why it is very.... combat oriented for being a .22. I love mine, I got a stainless steel guide rod with a bushing on the front to protect the aluminum from wear that is caused by the steel spring rubbing on it. I also picked up some tandemkross extensions so I can get 21+1 rounds in it. I've had 0 issues with mine of any sort.
Great channel, thank you MGG!!
Nice review Mike. Great gun. TX22 is now my warmup gun at the range.
I bought one a few months back. Been awesome. I'm assuming that the TX look will be their new template for an upcoming big bore lineup and I'll buy those as soon as I can get my hands on them.
Thanks for the review!👊😉
I debated getting the Taurus TX or the Smith & Wesson MP 22 compact. Went with the MP and I love it. It's not going to be a primary self defense weapon so the magazine capacity isn't an issue for me. So far I have not had any failure to feed with any ammunition over 1200 fps.
I bought one for my wife it had no problems but I bought one for myself it had many jams when I used cheap ammo but when I use cci it runs well
Im watching this and look over my wife is dancing to the intro music.. I'm like " omg babe you like this ?!? This is guns and gear!" She says
"Lead slangin DUB"
Love the channel! Can you make a video over flat faced triggers vs the curved triggers, and the benefits of each. Specifically on the AR 15 platform. Thank you!
I just got this gun today’ at bass pro it took me 2 months to find this in stock so ridiculous but I love this gun!!
I love my TX22. It eats everything. However it will have a malfunction here and there with hollow points. But still shoots HP all day. Extremely fun to shoot.
Galloway Precision makes +3 mag extensions. I just ordered 2 of them and they went out the next day.
I absolutely love my Taurus tx 22 and shoots everything other than HV bit I did realise a few weeks ago and I did get one with a bad barrel but they are sending me a new one when it gets back in stock, and is dead accurate with it though but after the 1000 round area, I have to clean it every 100 rounds now
Awesome video! thx for sharing
Great review!
If they had second-strike capability while still maintaining current trigger feel this would be the ultimate 22 pistol hands down. Only shot this once but fell in love w it, however I still like the sr22 more, even tho it's only 10rd
Love my TX22! I can run Thunderbolts all day on that thing, super reliable for a 22.
Of course mine is a sample of one but I just love the little guy!
Love mine. Great grip, no safety, reliable.
I love mine!!! And it eats everything!!
As far as I'm concerned, THAT is second only to accuracy. If it's not accurate, then who cares about it? But even if it's accurate, if it malfunctions with nine out of ten different loads? Crap!! I think the 10-22 is so popular because it's accurate enough, and it runs whatever ammo you can find:) All 22's should function like the 10-22 IMHO.
Just got one...yeah its a badass!
Jay Coy tx22 is accurate and it eats any ammo..
I like my guns like I like my toilet
@@jaycoy59 I had the ruger sr22 pistol and rifle with was basically a 10/22 in a fancy dress. I sold both because they were so ammo sensitive. I got a tippman after and I've never had the issues my sr22 rifle had. I haven't replaced the pistol and that's why I'm looking at the tx22. I also have my great grandmother's old marlin 50 22lr and it's more accurate then any stock 10/22 I've shot it next to. I've also had a 17cal ruger rifle that was chambered wrong from the factory. They fixed it but I swear the only ruger I've gotten that hasn't given me a issue is my dads old 357. I seem to be the guy that always gets the bad ones.
Only ammo I've seen trouble with, FTF, was some 36 gr Winchester HP that has kind of a truncated cone that acts like a flatnose.
Mine really likes CCI SV and Quiet Auto.
Couldn't find one ANYWHERE online, wondered down to local shop, low and behold they got one in that day...Id say it was meant to be
Nice. Just bought a property and will be shooting out back this little pistol will be a great choice
Mine runs great on Remington Thunderbolts. That's the first thing I tried in it and haven't bothered trying anything else.
Great Odin’s beard that’s one fine rimfire.
I had similar problems with my Walther P22 until I shot about 450 rounds through it. I used high velocity 22lr from Aguila. I tried various other ammo manufacturers and it didn't make a difference. I guess it took 450 rounds to break it in. The mistake was that I bought two bricks of Aguila (1000 rounds) when I bought the pistol. I had problems with the pistol firing but failing to eject and then trying to feed another round. The result was a stuck empty shell in the chamber. At first it was every round, then as it began to break in, it happened less and less often. Now, after 450 rounds, it cycles perfectly. I've never experienced that with any other caliber pistol. It must be a 22lr thing.
Mixup98 had exact feeding issue. Fixed it by cleaning the magazines. My pistol should arrive tomorrow. I hope it is NOT a lemon 🍋
another great vid!
Mike,
I fully enjoy your videos and assessments of the guns you review, as well as your comments about our rights under the 2nd Amendment. Also, I love where you do your reviews! There has to be thousands of largemouth bass screaming a challenge to you to get your rod and reel and see if you can’t catch them. If I knew where you were, I’d be down there this weekend. Thanks!
I really like mine. But it only cave with one 16 round mag and no barrel adapter. Had to order it and another mag from Taurus
I paid $242.97 for mine back in March or April. Great little pistol. 👍
Hi there ya all! I own the tx and love the gun, shot all sort of ammo through the gun and it's eating it up. Love the feel, trigger is awesome, reset is stupid nice straight from the factory. My new favorite 22lr
Ruger SR 22. I’ve put thousands of rounds of every kind of ammo that I have with zero malfunctions.
I have one. The Taurus, however, has ran 100% reliable for me AND it holds 16 in the mag (20 with the extension) AND it's striker fire
I have both also, and love them both! Reliable!!!!
ruger training does not transfer to other firearms with its screwy safety system.
Wtf!! I had the sr22 rifle and pistol and both sucked when it came to ammo. So I sold them. Replaced the rifle with a tippman but never the pistol which is why I'm here.
@@CORYSart
That’s too bad. You would think with C&C machines and the level of engineering today, that everything built would be reliable. I guess there’s good ones and bad ones.
This thing is a real hit. They really should make a 9mm version changing as little as possible.
Mine hasn't been perfect, but it's been pretty good. No regrets at all in buying it.
I guess I had a lemon, too. Had the exact same issues. Failures every 4th round or so. Sent it to Taurus (took 4 months to get back). Great gun now, lots of fun - love it. What type of mini suppressor did you say that was?
It could be a Bowers Bitty.
I’ve got a lemon too. Can’t make it through a single mag without at least 2-3 screwups. No reply from Taurus on my service request. My third Taurus, my third lemon. Shame on me.
I called and was on hold for a long tine before I got return authorization. Then it took 4 months, angler they said about 13 weeks. But it works great. I have success out of the box with other Taurus guns (3).
@@emersonb5764 sell it to me?
Tandemkross +4 mag extensions for the win.
Why doesn’t Taurus release a series of pistols in common self defense calibers/configurations using that truly exceptional frame/grip module of the TX-22???
They did, it's the T series. But it's not avaiable in the US for some reason.
@@Daniel-oc8sx Can confirm. I own a TS9. It's a cross between a glock and a VP9. Really low bore axis and different locking sys the trigger is exceptional.
Gx4
G3 full size . Th9 and 40
I was thinking the same thing
Mine has run flawless, great gun
1st of all thank you 4 your service to the U.S. This is an off topic question, but is 1000 lumens to much for an AR indoors and is there a light that has different intensity settings e.g. low 250 medium 500 high 1000 or something like that. I was looking at the surefire m300c or the 600u. Thanks in advance.
One guy on CZcams had that problem so he cleaned the mag an it ran great I hope to buy one soon as I can but it keeps selling out everywhere
They're so much fun and I can just send rapid fire headshots over and over at 10 yds so easy
I had an issue with the sight elevation adjustment and I never heard from Taurus when I submitted an online ticket for a replacement sight, so I put a drop of super glue on the adjustment screw and it's solid and absolutely dead on so I'm happy I hated the Ruger 2245 this replaced
They took for ever to respond to my online ticket as well. When they did respond, all they said was "If you still need help, please start another ticket." I did. They never responded to it. 6 months later I called them and spoke to a rep right away, who was very helpful. May want to just give them a call.
I put 600 rounds threw mine on first outing. 4 malfunction 1 stuck case like. i the gun alot fits in my glock 30s holster and a glaco sig 220 holster
Finally found one in stock! $265 after tax. Can't wait to throw my can on it and go plinking
Great video. Thanks
Mr. G & G in the house!
I like this channel. I subscribed to all notifications. But I must confess, my strange brain makes me think at first glance that the alerts are from Munsingwear. Now that I’ve gone public, maybe my warped mind will behave a little better, like after describing a recurring dream that then stops.
I've always been hesitant to buy a Taurus because of the lack of quality. Glad some are doing well. Did they say what was wrong with your first gun?
Really dig the shirt :)
Looks like a great training aid
Mine is in limbo waiting to get sent back to the factory. It has slop in the barrel lockup so white my suppressor attached the barrel drags agains the nose of the slide causing failures to go into battery. The excuses I’ve play in the barrel lockup also means that at 25 yards it shoots about a 2’ group.
I love that can. I have a silencerco titanium sparrow so I don’t need another 22 can... but that is sick
(Evil devil on my shoulder: ... “define need...”. Lol
I am actually going to pick one up because right now all of my fighting 9mm striker fired pistols are on the shelf because I am simply not interested in paying the price for 9mm right now
I need a good trainer pistol to substitute and this one fits all the criteria I need to simulate as close as possible to my fighting pistols while having available and cheap ammo
My Ruger Mark 2 and 4 are great trainers too but they just arent the same manual of arms as your traditional SFPF9 (striker fired polymer framed 9mm)
I also have a M9-22 upper for my Beretta 92 series pistols but those are hammer fired DA/SA guns, not strikers so I need something that mimics striker fired and this one fits the bill, who wouldve guessed it wouldve been Taurus though? These are strange times we live in
The best 22lr on the market
Definitely worth buying ?
Mine has run 100% through a full brick of 500 rounds so far. Only issue is that it shoots a little high, maybe 6 inches at 10 yards. I have cranked down the rear sight as far as it will go and I still cant get the sights to line up with the shots. Ideas? After market rear sight options?
Got my tx22 in late February. Took it to range once. I noticed a few of the same issues. Then covid 19 put a halt to range time. Take it out in July and the damm thing was useless. Multiple FTF and FTE issues. Taurus has it for 5 weeks now. I believe they have TONS of these faulty guns in for repair. Plus, customer service was trying to sell me a FedEx label for $50.00. I opted out. Went to FedEx myself. Got insured delivery for $14.95. Ruger and S&W send a free shipping label out for the first year. Lost my faith in Taurus.
Looks like a fun gun spend a day off with
👍👍👍
Finally got my new barrel after a year. Works fine now. Terrible warranty service.
Absolutely adore this thing. 1600 rounds and 5 malfunctions. Can’t get any better than that!
What ammo are you using?
Wesley Johnston I’ve ran 220 rounds of Winchester 40xgr HP, 150 of CCI Standard 40gr, 400 rds of Aquilla 40gr, 600 rds of Armscor 36gr, 100 rds of Remington Golden bullet 36gr, and 100 rds of Fiocci High Velocity.
Most malfunctions have been with the Winchester. I was very impressed with the Armscor and the Aquilla. I would stick with 40gr if possible but it has run 36gr very well.
I got one. It ran great. What did they fix on your?
Looks like mag spring uncoils @rear of follower...
No tipping issues in feeding?
Mine is going through a warranty process right now.
The barrel started keyholing and failing to feed
yep I grabbed one
Taurus making 22 Handgun fun again
Im not sure if I should get threaded barrel or not. Can you please tell me why I should get which one? Thanks in advance.
I guess my question has always been that if you get a lemon, and most of us who buy lots of weapons do, and you send it back, wait a few months, and then get a gun back that actually runs then why don't they just build em right to begin with. Don't they have quality control folks? Oops, there I go using logic again. They build em, pack em, ship em. Guess it's called "acceptable loses". Easier and cheaper to fix the bad ones than do it right the first time. Good, informative video as per usual. Hey, with a cap, shades and talk 5 times faster you could fill in for "MAC" Tim. L8r.
So what is the best 22LR handgun on the market right now? For a self defense minded firearm owner.
Good video, but your shooting a .22LR with a silencer, so why the hearing protection?
Damn near everybody is switching to 22lr and showing this gun. I'm still trying to find that 22mag lever action but thinking about picking up one of these if I come across it locally.
How long did Taurus took to fix it? I sent my new G2C in for repairs three months ago and still haven't heard nothing from them.
I worked at a gun shop a while back and we used to send Taurus’ back all the time. The longest I saw was around 5 months
I love mine.
“I didn’t know this either”. Are The 16 round mags hard for you to find? Don’t pass up on the 10 round mags if you can buy them. You can go to Tandemkross or one of the other vendors that are selling the +3/+5/+9 extension kits. The body of the 10 round mags is hollow (same as 16 round mags) - the only difference is the side cut out (which you don’t use after taking the plug out of the follower, the internal spring is replaced with the one you buy in the extension kit and the Internal Limiter (a piece of added black tubing, is removed). You can convert a 10 round mag using the tandemKross +5 round kit to now hold 21 rounds. It works. FYI
I love my Ruger Mark II
