Well I'll be, a new PT22. The design elements are intriguing, grip looks nice, octagon barrel is different. Hmmmm.

 

I'd be a lot more interested if not for all the plastic.

 

And, I'll be interested when they make it a 32TUC...

 

Interesting. It might be something I'd look in to, if I didn't already own a Ruger Lite Rack LCPII in .22LR, which holds 10+1 and mine runs great. Aww heck, who am I fooling? I'm interested anyway. 🤣 Taurus is really innovating lately. I'm glad to see it.👍

 

Here's a hands-on review video:

 

well crap. Now I want one!

 

Looks like a PT22ply that has been refinished by the Star Trek set designers.

 

Yeah, for some reason the styling reminds me of these:

'Back to the future!'

 

Any comments on a new 22 lr?

Only comment, someone needs to stop the madness at Taurus. Get what they got in production working 100% correct before adding any more weird looking already covered by other manufacturers products. Only IMHO💥🔫

 

And, make spare mags available.

 

One online reviewer said that in the owners manual for this gun there are suggested specific types and brands of .22LR ammo for this gun. I hope this isn't an admission that the thing is jammy. I am going to wait a year before considering buying one and wait for the reviews.

 

Yep...a .22LR pistol should shoot .22LR ammo, regardless of who makes it.

My KelTec P32 is a better choice, only 10 oz loaded, with 8 rounds of centerfire .32ACP.

 

The video review above also mentioned the recommended ammo list. That makes me pretty skeptical - how many ammo shortages have we had recently?

But time will tell how carved in stone that list is.

Thanks for sharing the info it is very interesting news to me.

 

I find that comparison insulting. I'm sure this new Taurus is far more useful than a Cyber Truck.

 

At least a Taurus won't burn your house down if you leave it in your garage.

 

Looks like a gun that will give headaches.

 

We'll see how it does when it's out.

 

FYI, kygunco.com is already taking pre-orders...

 

I was hoping real-world pricing would be less than MSRP. Good to see.

 

Looks like a redesign of the poly pt22. I'm going to assume none of the mags are interchangeable lol. Kind of cool looking, but I think I'll stick with my original PT-22.

I tried to download the manual for this from the Taurus website, but they didn't have it. I wanted to see the list of ammo recommendations. I'm curious to know if they are limiting high velocity rounds with this model like they did the poly.

 

I like the tip up barrel ... easy to load and unload , no pesky slide racking required .
22LR is nice ... but my wife always tells me Bigger is Better ... wonder what else this design might spawn .

Are you sure she was talking about guns?

 

My first thought was that it would be cool with a threaded barrel but then I thought they already have that angle covered with the TX22 so I suppose it doesn't matter if they do or don't offer this one threaded.

Either way, I hope it's not going to be a one brand of ammo gun. I have a ppk 22 that would be more fun if it wasn't so fussy about what it's fed.

 

If they make it in a 22 WMR it might make a decent pocket carry gun, especially for folks who have trouble racking a slide...

 

My thought exactly. This pistol with the WMR cartridge would be fun.

 

Buy a Beretta Bobcat 21A. They make the Taurus look like a booger.

 

But a Beretta Bobcat 21A. They make the Taurus look like a booger.

It should - it costs over twice as much.

 

It's not a firearm that I'd be interested in, but I'm sure it will sell well for Taurus.

 

I dug out my 21a i bought a few years ago. i'll stick with the beretta.

 

Okay, @JMD669, thanks to you I'm starting to get fidgety wanting one of these.🤣 I've watched several YouTube videos, and this little pistol seems to run well. As I mentioned back in post #5 of this thread, I already have a Ruger LCP II in .22LR, so I absolutely do not need a Taurus.22LR TUC .... Hmm, I wonder if I can talk my baby sister into buying one and keeping it at my house? 🤔😁

 

"already have a Ruger LCP II in .22LR, so I absolutely do not need a Taurus.22LR TUC ...."

no, no, no, think of it the other way... when you loan your sister your LCP you won't have one!

 

I have a stainless Beretta 21A and Ruger LCPII in 22lr but ordered the Taurus 22TUC because it is double action only. Hope to try it this weekend.

 

When the new wears off ,and the prices go down.. I will purchase the TUC ..,

 

I've long wanted a tip-up barrel 22. However, all I found were either unreliable, or worn out. Never wanted another pocket 22. Years ago, bought an American Arms PX-22, Walther TPH copy, Erma design. Hung on to it while I had to sell off the rest of my early collection. Discovered it liked HV ammo, and shot it to the minuscule sights POI. Still have it, still shoot it every month or so at the local range, Still hits steel at 10-20 yards. I like Taurus 22 SA's, but will wait on this Taurus model.
