Taurus TX22 Gen 2, .22 LR, Threaded Barrel, 22+1, Black/ODG Splatter, Pistol The Taurus TX22 Gen 2 (item number 1-2TX22141SP2) is the updated version of the full-size rimfire pistol that made the TX22 one of the most popular .22 LR handguns on the market. This configuration pairs a black aluminum slide with an OD green splatter polymer frame, adds a factory-threaded barrel for muzzle devices, and ships with two magazines: one 22-round and one 16-round. It is built for plinking, training, small-game outings and introducing new shooters to the sport, and it handles like a full-size centerfire pistol while firing inexpensive rimfire ammunition. Why Buy It 22+1 capacity: ships with one 22-round and one 16-round magazine Threaded barrel: 1/2x28 threads for a compensator, muzzle brake or other muzzle device Performance Trigger System (PTS): a crisp, comfortable single-action pull with a fast reset Lightened slide: slide lightening cuts help the aluminum slide cycle quickly and keep weight down MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail: mount a weapon light or laser on the dust cover Adjustable rear sight: paired with a fixed white-dot front sight Layered safety: manual safety, striker block and trigger safety Lightweight: about 17.3 oz unloaded A Full-Size Rimfire That Shoots Like a Centerfire The TX22 earned its reputation by giving shooters the size, grip angle and controls of a defensive handgun in a pistol that fires .22 LR. That makes it an excellent tool for building trigger control, sight alignment and smooth presentation from the holster without the cost or recoil of 9mm. The Gen 2 keeps the textured, ergonomic polymer grip of the original, so it fits a wide range of hands and points naturally. New shooters can learn fundamentals with almost no recoil, and experienced shooters can run high-round-count practice sessions for a fraction of the ammunition cost. Stock up on rimfire ammo and you can spend a full afternoon at the range for the price of a few boxes of centerfire rounds. Black Slide and OD Green Splatter Frame This model stands out from the standard black TX22. The slide is black aluminum with serrations for a sure grip when you rack it, and the polymer frame wears an OD green splatter pattern that adds a distinctive, field-ready look. The contrast between the dark slide and the speckled green frame makes it an easy pistol to pick out of a range bag, and the textured frame gives your hands plenty of purchase even when they are cold or sweaty. Threaded Barrel and Picatinny Rail The barrel comes threaded from the factory in the common 1/2x28 pitch, so you can add a compensator, muzzle brake or other compatible muzzle device without any gunsmithing. Under the dust cover, a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail accepts weapon lights and lasers, letting you set the pistol up for low-light practice or simply to match the configuration of your carry gun. Many shooters use the TX22 as a low-cost understudy for their centerfire pistol, and the rail makes that easier. Always confirm that any muzzle device or accessory is compatible with your pistol and legal where you live before installing it. Trigger, Sights and Controls Taurus built the Gen 2 around its Performance Trigger System. The striker-fired, single-action trigger has a short, smooth pull and a clean break, which helps you shoot small groups and keeps follow-up shots fast. Iron sights include a fixed white-dot front sight and an adjustable rear sight, so you can dial in your point of impact for the ammunition you shoot most. Proprietary slide lightening cuts reduce the weight of the slide for smooth, quick cycling. Controls are laid out like a full-size defensive pistol, which makes practice with the TX22 carry over to your other handguns. Capacity and Magazines This TX22 Gen 2 ships with two magazines: one 22-round magazine for a 22+1 capacity and one 16-round magazine. More rounds per magazine means less time loading and more time shooting, whether you are working on drills, ringing steel or plinking with friends. Magazine capacity laws vary by state and locality, so check the rules where you live before you buy. Need spares? Browse our magazines. Safety Features The TX22 Gen 2 combines three safety features. A manual safety gives you a positive on/off control, a striker block helps prevent the striker from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled, and a trigger safety is built into the trigger itself. Together they make it a good choice for families and new shooters learning safe gun handling at the range.
