The Taurus TX-22 was the 'Guns & Ammo Handgun of the Year' in 2019 and for a very good reason. This .22 rimfire pistol is accurate and extremely reliable. And yes, I will buy another one in the near future.
I have had this Taurus for 2 years and never had a jam. This is what I like about this channel,you guys review guns on both ends of the affordability scale .
My TX 22 does not like the Federal Punch, it will run them but every couple mags you get a failure to feed, they Jam up on the feed ramp, all other rounds cycle perfectly
This gun changed my mind about Taurus, which had developed a massively negative image for me personally. This is a great gun... accurate, reliable, eats cheap ammo, decent capacity, good irons, comfortable, affordable sticker price, and not super fugly.
I have a G2C and a GX4. The trigger is a little iffy on the G2C. But, once you get used to it, it's ok. Absolutely love the GX4. Never had a problem with either one. Probably have to get a TX22 now.
I couldn’t agree more. I share your sentiment and miss my Dad, too. I love these videos. They bring back such great memories. Mixup and son, cherish these times and NEVER take them for granted. Keep up the great work!
When I purchased my Ruger SR22 I thought I had finally purchased my last 22. semi auto, but then the Taurus TX22 striker fired 15 rnd came out. It will take more than what Sig or Glock has came out with to make me change.
After 4 years and thousands of rounds my TX22 would occasionally not go into battery. I sent it back to Taurus and it was returned in 2 weeks working perfectly again. Taurus even replaced the magazine. Great gun, great service!!!
Mine had no rifling in the barrel and I sent it to Taurus and they returned it with a new barrel. Very reliable gun but the plastic guide rod does have to wear in with the recoil spring. Mine goes into battery fine after I blew the guide rod with compressed air and locked the slide back so I could run a gun oil sodden rag on the exposed rod to clean it better. Very smooth action afterward.
Thanks for posting this video! My buddy and I have about 8500 rounds so far thru ours!. Same mags. % range buddies, 8 tx4's and compacts now, all running amazing!
I concour, I got mine when they first came out and never had a malfunction. Looks to me like the apprentice outshot the master. Good shooting and thanks for sharing!
Finally cleared the background check today!! Took it straight out the box ran about 300 rounds of federal bulk through it no malfunctions. Im very impressed thus far.
I was going to take a moment to say that those are impressive photographs your son took. Entomology and microscopy are interests of mine when I can make the time. He's clearly very talented. Thank's as always, the presentation was excellent. I've been thinking about picking up the Taurus and your information is spot on.
My son is much better than I am when it comes to taking photographs and you're right, he is very talented. Please let us know if you do pick up a TX22. I'm pretty sure you will be impressed.
Funny, I also bought mine in 2020, shot thousands of rounds through it. One malfunction when a first time shooter was trying it(could’ve been a bad round). I’ve never loved a .22 so much! I’ve started at least six first time shooters on it! They all loved it! 😎😃 Taurus hit a home run with this one. lol, I love that “Star Trek” fade in and out with the eerie music! Keep the rounds down range and the content flowing. Have a great weekend!
@@mixup98 I’ve had a PT-1911 which was good. A PT-145, uh, NOT so good! lol! The TX is fine as wine!! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat! Easily seven or eight different types of ammo have gone right through. I’ve never owned a .22 like this one. It’s a “10”!
@@mixup98 I’ve seen a few of those in the past few months. They feel great in the hand. Nice trigger like the TX we have. Looking forward to Your take on it.
I bought this 2 weeks ago. Haven't shot it yet. However, I ordered a stainless steel guide rod/recoil spring from Galloway Precision. That was delivered in a timely fashion. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanx Mixup 98
I just might have to take a look at the Galloway Precision guide rod/spring and check it out. Thanks for the heads-up and thank you for watching our video.
@@ron8566 it will add minimal weight to the front end. But really it's about reliability. I had a Steyr M9's oem polymer guide rod snap after just 3 shots at the range (multiple range trips beforehand) so I realised had that been a life or death situation, polymer guid rods are a no-go. Now if all you are doing is plinking, a plastic guide rod isn't a setback
If a person has the funds to spend this a great buy for an accurate dependable 22lr pistol. Wish it was in 22wmr also. Glad y'all had fun with it. Stay safe! 👍🙏🇺🇸🎯
I bought a TX22 a few days ago and its been great! one of the best 22lr pistols on the market hands down, I'm also a big fan of the G3 and G3C, Great videos!
People give taurus a bad ral, never understood it. My first handgun was a taurus 66. Shot the hell out of it for years with no problems. Sold it back to the shop i bought it from for what i paid. Ive had quite a few since and never a problem nor have i met anyone who had a problem. Till recently, my best friend got a g3c, sights are flopping all over, one of the mags came from the factory bent!
I have owned many Tauri over the past 30 years and to be honest, the semi-auto's have been decent performers, but literally every revolver I have owned has suffered damage (this is the reverse of what you normally hear). Broken firing pins, broken transfer bars, broken FCG parts, a LOT of timing issues (both my M44 44 mags would go wildly out of time after less than a box of ammo). Many friends had had similar Taurus issues and do not buy them. And it sucks because Taurus CAN make very good firearms, just their QC is historically poor. Maybe they are better now, I don't know.
The 66 was well made. My friend has had one for many years and it still works perfectly. The trigger was a bit heavy but a spring kit took care of that.
Always great seeing you guys out together shooting and having fun . You guys are great shooters . The tx 22 is a great gun , having a reliable 22lr semi auto that's cheaper . My buddy just picked up the competition one , so he has 2 now. Your son took some sweet pictures. Thanks for showing and taking us with you
I was lucky enough to get a TX22 the first month they came out. Unfortunately it was one with the bad barrel. Taurus fixed it, and I have since picked up a non-safety model. It is one of my favorites to shoot as well. Thanks for video!! Keep up the good work sir!
Bought mine during the 2020 ammo crunch to keep up on my trigger time, 0 regrets, one of the best triggers of ANY polymer striker fired gun I own. Also o e of the most accurate. Awesome gun
I have had mine for about a year now.. the thing seems to like just about every flavor of ammo I have fed it. The only time I have had any "hick-ups" have been when I filled the mag by hand instead of using the loader. That took a minute to fix, but I now use the loader each time and all is well! Cant say that it is my favorite .22 pistol, I think my Taurus 942 probably takes that spot, but the TX22 is definitely a great choice for an inexpensive autoloader!

I bought this pistol new a couple of years ago and it's been great 👍 It weighs almost nothing even fully loaded, and has zero recoil. I would very highly recommend it to anyone!
Just took my TX out last week with my grandson, it's been about a year since I fired it. Between the Super Wrangler & TX22, his favorite was the TX. Thanks for the always informative & entertaining videos. I have been impressed with the TX22 for sure. BTW the mag cleaning tip was really good.
Enjoy you're channel very much! I have one child my son about the same age as yours. We go shooting often in the mountains of Colorado. Its always a fun and bonding activity. Thx for the videos!
I love mine also .... Have had it a few years the only thing I have done is an aftermarket trigger & spring and I see why it won the gun of the year in 2019.
Bought mine in May, 2024. I have ordered new sights, guide rod and spring. New trigger spring so I should get some serious shooting time in. I’m comparing it to my Glock 44 and it’s a tie so far except the cost on the Glock is much more.
I had one for 3 years starting in December 2019, never a issue or malfunction. I only shot Federal or CCI but never had a problem. I did end up trading it for a Beretta 92x RDO Compact, i just couldn't justify buying 22lr anymore. I do regret not having it though, the best pistol grip I've had in hand. I might have to try the GX4XL it looks like the TX22 in 9mm! Good stuff, good video thanks for sharing!
Thnx Guy! I agree with the AutoMatch, i used to shoot boatloads and never had an issue. Ever since bout 3 or so years ago i have had more duds out of a box than i can count.
I avoided Taurus for Many yrs Since the Late 80's Early 90's. Long Story Short?? I Now got a Half dozen. They Realy Turned it Around! The G3 series & that TX 22 & TH - 9 ARE EXCELLENT.ALL Run Great! Started out Reluctantly with that G3..Live & Learn guys. Nice EDC's & At $265..ya CANT Beat em! God Bless..😊
OMG!; Those Macro pics from your kid are outstanding!!🏆. Just a true Gaia lover can produce such beautiful images. Even better: He's a very skilled shooter, ('Like Dad, like Son'): TWO plates with just one round!!.. (I dunno how I missed this great episode). I'd guess I must proceed to kick myself for being too busy.. 😰
Good morning Hernando. My son loves taking photographs and maybe I will put more of his photos in our videos. I will show him your nice comment and I will thank you for my son in advance. It's always good hearing from you.
Thanks for reminding me - I've had the TX 22 Competition model for 2 years now - and have never gotten around to buying the TX 22 conversion slide for it - I think it's high time I rectify that situation.
Mixup and son darn good to see you both again...Great job on the photography...well I do like that pistol and I don't remember ever seeing a video with a malfunction...Taurus has come a long way...the G3c is outstanding.....have a great week ahead take care out there 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Correction, without offense, Taurus pistols today are mostly non functional and lacking any quality control. I recently purchased a G3C which suffered 100% light strikes out of the box and required many corrections. Also purchased a TX22 that would not feed truncated ammo, failure to extract 100% out of the box. TX22 barrel chamber inside diameter was .2265", while the spent case outside diameter is .228". Repaired by replacing the barrel with Lakeline LLC. Taurus customer service for me was a joke. I love the ergonomics of both and after repairs on my part with aftermarket and OEM components are splendid, reliable and great fun to shoot.
worked on/shot a few mags of several varieties. have three mags and the one had several ftf's withe newer bulk winchester....kind of a flat hp nose design that samed to nose dive into the forward lip of the mag....about 2-3 round per mag. had same issue with that stuff in ruger sr22 pistol as well. i think it is bullet shape or maybe out of spec on overall length, case length, etc. works just fine in ruger revolvers. old....and i mean real old win superx hp run like a top in that same tx22 mag, but the rwo designs are very different. accuracy is fine with both and both go bang 100% when properly chambered and all!
I'd hate to tell you what I actually paid for my Ruger Mk II Target SS back 20 years ago... Extra magazines were readably available and most reasonably priced. I'm happy you are quite satisfied with what appears to be an excellent firearm from Taurus: they certainly have come a long way over the years! P.S. I even know how to reassemble mine, having had a Mk I from way, WAY back when!
Taurus is very underrated, in my opinion. Early on they had some reliability issues, but for years now Taurus has been putting out excellent firearms at a reasonable price.
Compliments to your boy on those photographs, especially the one with the iguana in the Santa suit. I didn’t know your son was an iguana whisperer, as well as a good shooter 😂
It's great to see you & Ed enjoying another shooting session together. The TX22 is still on my short list, but every time I shoot my Mark IV I question why I think I need another .22 pistol. Tell Sassy Jess the old weirdo 😮 says hello 😅.
