1300 round Full Review. Awesome handgun! This is a winner! Hearing more and more reports of it being reliable and accurate.
-Polymer frame, full size, striker fired, 22lr
-Polymer frame, Solid 7075 aluminum slide Steel insert for breach face, Steel barrel
-Includes 2 mags, Thread adapter
-4.1” barrel. Threaded barrel. Includes thread adapter for 1/2x28. It is a fixed barrel design. But easily removable. Barrel just feels and looks like good quality.
-TX possibly, probably military jargon means Training Excercise
-16 round capacity. Will have 10 round version.
-Mags probably need to be loaded carefully because of the design to allow for 16 rounds.
-5lb trigger. Very short though. Great trigger! No blade safety. Built into trigger shoe. Some take up. Most of that is the trigger shoe closing the gap to the actual trigger. A little bit of creep, but very minimal.
-TX22 17.4 ounces. Glock 23 23.8 ounces. But TX22 frame is 8.55 ounces where Glock 23 frame is 4.6 ounces.
-Sights replaceable. G2C and 709 sights.
-So far very reliable. It didn’t like M22. Shot Winchester White Box, Remington Thunderbolt and Golden Bullet just fine. Of course, it shot higher quality stuff just fine. Ran 325 round gauntlet. Had 2 small stoppages.
-For me very accurate handgun. It’s not a bulls eye gun though. That’s not what it is intended to be.
-Taurus markets this a competition ready. They don’t mean by that that this is a high end bulls eye gun. They mean it is competition ready in the sense of running around shooting steel targets in a fast paced competition.
-Easy takedown.
-The polymer frame is very high quality. It feels nice. The metal central block adds rigidity and weight in the right spot. The polymer parts don’t flex. All the molding marks are very smooth. Looks like very good attention to detail of the lines. No sharp edges.
-Dry fire safe
-Standard 1913 rail
-Fairly small ejection port, but I haven’t had any problems with ejecting. It generally throws the shells 6-7 feet.
-No undue wear. Some loss of finish on slides and underside of barrel where it is natural.
-The Slide stop catches on the steel impact insert instead of on the aluminum slide. Very good idea!
-Nice stippling on the frame. Not too aggressive like SWMP92.0
-No mag safety
-Manual safety. Just right. Won’t engage unless cocked.
-Scallop on side of frame is perfect for resting forward thumb.
-Mags have thumb stud for load assist. Biggy1 showed how he removed the stud and used a rod to pull follower down
-Mags seem to be of high enough quality. They aren’t the best I have handled, but they are good.
-Grip is nice. A little on the big side.
-Suppressor ready!
-Mag release is reversible and metal.
-Like a friend of mine jkv45 said about the gun.
“Sounds about like what I was expecting - decent, but not a high-end comp gun or anything.
It should do exactly what I need it to do - which is mostly put a smile on my face but also be something that I can start a new shooter with.”
-Pretty good price! MSRP is 349, but street price should be around 300. Some a little more some a little less.
