It's worth mentioning that the beauty of the optic mount that is provided with the TX 22 Competition is that it's ingeniously attached to the barrel -- not to the slide -- for full stability.

@@liedebunker1253 Mine absolutely loves every type of Aguila I've tried in it, including Super Maximum. I think how you load the mags on these is critical. For instance, I handed mine to my dad who has only ever shot single stack 22 handguns and when he loaded the mag he had the top round nose-diving before he ever put the mag in the gun. On most single stack 22 guns you don't have to be nearly as careful when you load them. The rims on 22LR cause issues you don't see with centerfire rounds...that's one reason why there aren't a lot of double stack 22 guns. I've also heard some people have had to take their mags apart and do some polishing, remove plastic flashing from the molding process, clean them up, etc. If you haven't tried all that you might give it a shot. I know when I load my mags I have to be really careful to keep the noses up and hold the mag just right, give it a smack as I am loading to keep the rounds orientated just right. As long as I do that, mine doesn't jam even with bulk Winchester and Federal.

(I didn’t know either). “10 Round Taurus Mags. You can Convert them to hold MORE Rounds”. 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 remove). You can convert a 10 round mag using the tandemKross +5 round kit to now hold 21 rounds. It works. FYI

Killer little gun. I'm half Brazilian so I'm always a bit optimistically biased about Taurus but they really came through on this one, I have ten year old twins that like to shoot but kick makes them hesitate and not enjoy shooting as much. This pistol is great because it teaches semiauto skills without them being hesitant. I'm sure investing in Georgia has helped them step it up a notch. Looking forward to Taurus future products. They could be a game changer like Canik has been making awesome quality at super reasonable prices,
@SurfistaEletrico Жыл бұрын
Half-brazilian too. Technically and financially Taurus is really evolving. However, back in Brazil, Taurus is siding with the leftist government which is imposing heavy drastic restrictions on legal gun possession. You would think this makes no sense, but you know how strange it can be there. We think Taurus is trying to cut a deal to get "protection" from foreign products imports. So, virtually, a Monopoly.

The g2c and the g3c may be better but time will tell, they've gotten great short term reviews so far, but so did the tx22 before slides started cracking at high round counts.

Hey Plinkster, Curious as to what youd think of a TX-22M Magnum in 2022? With the Competitions 5 inch Bull Barrel and 20 Round Mags standard it could be the 20/22 in 2022. Should Taurus Build It? The Ruger Five Seven is the cheapest Five Seven at around 800.00 and the Kel Tec PMR30 is going for around 600.00 . A TX-22M would be way cheaper than both and sell like Hotcakes! And the 22 WMR round would be between the 22 LR and the 5.7... The TX-22M would be sort of a Baby Five Seven if theyd give it 20 Round Magazines. And since 22 WMR is everywhere and has been forever, and is fairly cheap, whereas five seven ... just isnt. What do you think?

@@Ryan-hw7qb I am glad you have had good luck, because if you do have a problem, your luck will change. Their legendary customer service is horrible. Even the new CEO Bret Vorhees admits their service is horrible. In 2015, firearms manufacturer Taurus had agreed to a voluntary recall of nearly 1 million pistols as part of the settlement of a lawsuit that alleges nine handgun models had defects, including one that caused some to inadvertently fire when dropped. Now that should make you go....Hmm. We are talking facts, not luck. I understand anything mechanical may have problems from time to time, I am good with that. It is how and what the manufacturer does to correct the problem. Taurus would not admit they had a problem with first run of TX22s for about 3 months. My barrel had chatter marks in the lands, and some places it had no rifling. It started keyholing right out of the box. I bought mine in March when they first came out, it took them till late November to find another barrel manufacturer. I finally got a new barrel late June the next year. The icing on the cake was that they were shipping new TX22s with new barrels and making the customers with bad barrels wait. I had a PT 45 that the magazine would drop free when fired, they never could fix it.
