The TX22 Gen 2 is a fraction of the cost of the Zev or Geissele options, and it’s purpose-built for .22 LR — meaning less recoil and cheaper ammo. If you want a trainer or a fun plinker, this is the better value. If you need a duty-grade 9mm, look at the others.

FAQ

Is the Taurus TX22 Gen 2 reliable with bulk .22 LR ammo?

Per Taurus specs, the TX22 Gen 2 is designed to cycle reliably with standard-velocity and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition. Many owners report good function with bulk packs from brands like CCI, Aguila, and Federal. As with any rimfire, a light cleaning and lubrication before first use helps.

Does this model have a threaded barrel?

No, the standard TX22 Gen 2 comes with a non-threaded 4.1-inch barrel. If you need a suppressor-ready version, look at the TX22 Compact or TX22 Competition models.

Can I use this for concealed carry?

Yes, it’s compact and lightweight enough for carry, but remember it’s a .22 LR — not ideal for self-defense against determined threats. Many shooters use it as a training companion for their centerfire carry gun.

What is the warranty on the TX22 Gen 2?

Taurus offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. Keep your receipt and register the firearm on their website for coverage.

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, .22 LR remains the most popular rimfire caliber in the U.S., accounting for over 40% of all ammunition sold annually. This TX22 Gen 2 is a smart choice for anyone wanting to enjoy that popularity with a reliable, affordable pistol.
