After 2 full days of waiting for a proceed I finally got my TX 22 yesterday. The closest thing I have to it is the phenomenal Smith & Wesson M&P compact so I’ll use that as the measuring stick.
The Taurus is a little bigger in the length of both the slide and grip but no wider, slightly narrower. They are both light but I love the Taurus grip, and if you have large hands, you will too.
Features:
The 16 round mags are awesome vs the Smith 10 rounders. They both have the assist feature that lets you compress the spring while loading. The Smith is a little easier to load but 10 rounds.
The triggers on both are good. 4.5 pounds for Taurus and 5 pounds for the Smith. Taurus is a little gritty but a very crisp break. Both are very good.
Threaded barrel on both, which is a necessity now that I’m in NH.
i ran 4 different types of ammo from 36 grain bulk federal crap hollow points to mini mags and 42 grain low velocity gem tech suppressor. 200 rounds through and they all ran flawlessly.
Shooting at 25 feet this is a few mags of CCI std velocity rapid and slow. Sights are 3 dot white and worked great.
If you can’t tell by now this is a winner. For $259 it’s a huge winner. Time will tell but due to the way the grip fits my hand, the trigger and 16 round mags, it might just beat out the smaller M&P.
It’s not the target pistol that my mark 4 target is and it’s probably not as nice or customizable as a 22/45 but they do cost twice as much or more.
