Taurus TX22 Long Term Review: Red Dot Optic, Mag Extensions, and More! 

Hahahahaha great video man lol

I have had to use the Tarus warranty before on a gun I have had for 20+ yrs. They gave me no problems, and quick service even during the Covid bullshit! Great video my friend, stay safe!

Bought a TX22 Competition around two years ago and it took 800 rounds to break in. I hated it at first. After the break in it was golden, super reliable, and I love it. I use it weekly in up to three different local steel competitions. Gets a lot of attention. I just bought a regular TX22 and thing has been perfect and doesn't seem to need any break in at all. Very happy with the TX22 line.

The TX22 is a great little gun. Thanks for the long term review. I clean mine way too often probably, but I just feel so guilty looking at it all sad and dirty in the safe. 😥

Nice video, thank you ! I just took my TX22 for the first time to the range today Maaaaan its so fun to shoot!!! I had total 4 F2F with CCI MM in one mag, but I think it was because of the mag braking in... maybe. After few mags I ran Winchester, CCI, Armscore and BucketObullet and it ran everything. Im so glad it ran a BucketObulets for obvious reasons !!! Love that its reliable and super fun. If you looking for fun time at the range without braking a bank, look in to TX22.

Good video and good timing for me at 6:30 am. I like watching your videos before going out to film one my own self. They get me in a genial mood.

I have to be honest I really enjoy your content. I just put a old ADE green dot on and man it's on. This TX22 is awesome now.

Good review. A - A+. Thank you for an unbiased opinion. I will be buying a Taurus TX 22 very soon.

That red dot adapter is clutch. Thanks so much for featuring that.

Excellent video Pat ... Thanks for the follow up review of the TX22. Cheers Mate

Awesome video, I love the sight picture with the red dot! Thanks William

I’m a new gun owner and I love how so many in the gun community have different views on A LOT of shit, but we all can come together about guns... and it’s great!

Bought one two weeks ago and really enjoying plinking with it!

Great Review Picking one up today as a Range toy and practice pistol for my wife & Myself.

Always great content!

Pat, Good video. Thanks for sharing your experience with the TX22. You have some nice accessories there for the TX22. I also like paddle holsters, easy on and easy off. I put the whole assembly in the gun safe and it is ready to go for the next day. Take care.

TAURUS IS A GOOD WARRANTY LIFETIME! ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF ME! THEY ARE COMING UP!!!

New subscriber due to this video. Looking at getting this pistol and found your review awesome! Thank you Sir!

Love the review. Kerp em coming

Love the review! Keep It up.

Just purchased a TX-22. Can't wait to pick it up and practice with it.

That intro was great! I've heard a lot of good things about this pistol and am digging the mag capacity. I've wanted the Walther P22 for a while now but due to price and from everything I've heard about being picky on ammo I'll probably go this route. Great video Pat!

Pat RMG great video !!!! nice set up!!!! thats a nice rd count!!! cant beat lotz of ammo

Great review. I’m looking to pick one of these up 👍🏻

Great video when the TX22 first arrived at my LGS I had to try it out as they had a rental on the range. I enjoyed shooting it. I figured I may pick one up as I am serious need of a 22 pistol for training purposes of new shooters & getting my son more comfortable with pistols. We have plenty 22 rifles. Thanks for sharing Pat

I was just looking at these this morning.

Good job Pat.

Prior to purchasing two +9 magazine extensions I had eight 16-round magazines that actually held 16 rounds. All of these magazines worked flawlessly. After installing the magazine extensions one magazine would hold 25 rounds while the other would only hold 24 rounds. During firing these magazines would fail to feed, constantly. I would disassemble, clean, and reassemble to no improvement. No other magazine had issues during this time. Finally, After only a few trips to the range the spring for the magazine holding 25 rounds failed. It would no longer push the follower to the top of the magazine feeding the last two rounds. Upon disassembly the spring had an extra bend, one that is quite severe. I have contacted Galloway precision, but they refuse to return the product or refund my money.

Good looking out Pat

Great review

I have 3 if these, paid $229 each. fantastic. have sold at least 10 for a local dealer based on my absolute enthusiasm for this product. have 10k rounds through one of mine. only issue is the tendency to keyhole. absolutely recommended without hesitation

NICE 22 Pat Thanks

Good job on the video, Thanks

Good job man

Taurus is a good company i love my Taurus it hasn’t failed me AWSOME gun company 💪🏽 💪🏽✌🏽✌🏽

Those are some nice plinkiers as I hope to try one out someday....Nice review and info....Good stuff....

Awesome Toe-rus video sir! And that is a sweet shooting .22lr

Nice video... I got one and never regret it

great stuff brother! we were both kind of shocked when that tx22 came apart the way it did ! taurus has given him an RMA and a free shipping label . we will see how long it takes them .

Hey Pat just now found your channel and I did the right thing and subscribed and now I'm commenting, when did you say I'd be getting paid for all this......lol love the way you make your videos and I just bought a canik psf 9 but looking really closely at the tx22. Keep up the great work and now I have to binge your channel lol

Pat you're getting close to 10K subs That is awesome and congratulations! I have over 2K now. But mine are on twitter, LMBO!

I know how hard it is to shoot through the viewfinder.. The first time I did it I had hell of a time too. Great video bud.

I am digging it!!

That is one niiiice TX22!

Nice little review. Awesome video bro👍 I have been thinking of getting a full size .22 due to ammo availability and cost. Happy 4th🇺🇸

My Tx22 broke the same way, i called Taurus and they fixed it right away (only issue in my opinion is I had to pay for shipping).

“Go crazy, make that thang go nuttz”

Nice shooting through the viewfinder 👍

Just got one yesterday! Can’t wait to fire it !

Just put one on layaway! Thanks for the review!

Love mine. Tandemkross makes a +5 mag extension with springs included (a 2 pack for 21 bones). Still haven't put enough rounds thru mine to make it my favorite .22lr pistol, but its getting there.

For anyone interested the taurus tx22 fits a walther pdp holster IF you shave off the little nub at the front of the trigger guard and tighten the retention on the holster. I didn't know this until after I had both guns and the dimensions are soooo similar I figured I'd give it a try and it fits so perfectly. Now I've got a great iwb and owb option for cheap training.

Nice picking gun .mine was 1st a browning buckmark did a total custom remake on it .but now i usally pick.a wheelgun 22 Great video Those blackhawk holsters is all i use. .j Hope all is good your way 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🌻🧸

Thanks for the great content Pat! You should do a review on the Savage Axis II Precision

I owned a tx taurus 22.. Now i want the ADE along with that.. Good video

I recently put a red dot on my TX22. I absolutely love it. It fits the majority of my glock 19 holsters (within reason). Great option instead of 9mm, for the ammo shortage.

Oh yes, I tried it with the adapter and without it and it had zero impact on accuracy but shifted a group just a bit. Guys enjoy, and have a good day !

I actually traded my ruger mk4 in for a tx22 competition. Crazy that Taurus is making a better gun than glock and ruger.

I really love the concept of a fun gun that seemingly doesn't run out of ammo lol i might just get one.

I had a fde w/safety one the slide broke on the front guide rod ear after maybe 3000 rounds Taurus replaced it in less than 28 days with a black one without a safety at my request for those 28 days I bought another fde one so now I have two.This is great pistol with the 5 round extensions and the lightnin grip speed loader.

Great video.

Fun fun fin with that little Taurus.

Man this gun is so fun to shoot. Shot one on Saturday. Definitely getting this one if I can find it for a good price

Best damn pistol I have ever bought. $300 bucks and way too much pleasure plinking. Love em.

Now you’ve gone and done it! I’ve been trying to resist getting one of these because I need another 22 like I need a hole in the head but you tipped the scale and now I’ve got to have one. 😉

Going to have to find that mag extension 💪

you did fine with the first person view tough to do especially with a red dot

Awesome video ✌️ definitely a gun I'd like to get 👍

Glad yours is working good. The co worker of mine his pistol is still working but the plastic that's wearing off in my video is a little worse but has not stopped it yet. He said he will shoot it till it breaks and then shoot slugs at it😛. But he likes the pistol he has 2. Like the dot also👍👍

Love mine i might need to get the new sight soon

This gun rocks

It is a great video.

...just bought one from Palmetto State for $279 - free shipping (only 10 round mags though...I'll buy another 10 round mag until the 16 rounder come back on line and get a couple of Tandemkross extensions...picking it up from the FFL here in Fl tomorrow

thank you for the new video my friend, like👍

Great review pat. When is your 45-70 model x review coming?

Great video. How does it function with the red dot using standard velocity rounds?

Thumb up on this review. Thanks for taking the time to dot it and post it. I am a new owner of the TX 22 and your excellent review helped in my decision. Please tell me where I can purchase the thread protector you are using. How is the ADE optic holding up?

Thanks for the great video on TX22. Your video was one of the videos that influenced my purchase of a TX22 this last weekend. Please tell me your source for the thread protector.

Happy 4th RMG! Nice video. Can't buy Taurus in MA. Not on the approved roster. # gun laws. Been laying down yet seeds in the steel garden for the last 24 hours!🗽💥🙏

I guess I really got buggered! bought mine at a gun show last month. $416 with tax!{it has a safety} yes it has a nice laser cut flag on the slide{full length of the slide} but I have been looking for 1 almost a year with no luck, and it was the ONLY 1 left at the show....

Amazing 22 suppressed or unsuppressed! Buy with confidence

I'm jealous... My slide broke after almost 4k rounds where the guide rod is held. At the mercy of Taurus right now waiting for it to come back.

Love my tx22 had the barrel issue but called Taurus and sent me a new one no questions asked when I registered the waranty

How has the red dot and cycling held up. I'm thinking about doing this to mine so it's more like training with my Glock MOS.

How is that red dot holding up? and great video 🔥🔥

All the pewpews in the mags!

I have one Luv it 🔥🔥🔥

I don't know about all of you but if a mag extension doesn't come with an oversized spring, I don't see the benefit being worth the sacrifice in reliability... just one man's opinion though. Great vid.

Hey Pat, (Northern Minnesota Hi) I just bought a couple 507c's and was looking to put them on a LAKELINE mount since Galloway Precision only does the smaller red dots. My question before I buy the Lakeline mount and put these on something else hinges on cycling. Do you hear of any issues with the TX22 not cycling with an optic like the 507c? Does it require a certain ammunition to avoid short stroking? Please let me know? If these will work, will be taking a Dremel to our new Forged Tech Holsters. Also, I had to send my pistol back for barrel warranty. It got to the factory Friday at 10:43 A.M. I will let you know how it goes. Too bad I can't upload an image in my comment of the barrel.

Great video! I would be interested to see what kind of ammo will not cycle the slide with the red dot on there. Also what kind of ammo were you running in this video?

Is there any way that you can replace the stock rear sight on the TX22 with a sight that is adjustable for windage and elevation?

Hey Pat great video! Whats name/model of red dot? TY

I like the red dot site and want to add one on the Tarus I just bought. Were did your get the mounting plate and the site. Thanks

Will it cycle with the red dot if you shoot other types of ammo not cci mni mags mine had failure to feed with several other brands that had less velocity when I had a red dot on. No problem with even subsonic with open sights

Just purchased mine. Great video.

I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July weekend :-)

I got one liking it ✌️

What ADE sight did you use? Is it legit?

Love my TX22. Its at 3k rounds with 2500 through a can. almost perfect function. Got the all FDE version and paid $250 after tax at academy

Good tank you
