Finally picked the Taurus over the Beretta pocket rocket. Picked it up at Academy $199 + tax. Comes in a very small black cardboard box with handgun, 1 magazine, a manual & the NRA membership card.
Academy did not have any magazines for the PT22. I have medium to large hands & absolutely love the grip. Looks like the magazines are available online for around $20.

I did clean & lube before range visit. Fed it 60 rounds of CCI Mini Mags. This little gun ran smooth as a baby's butt. Not one problem feeding or extracting. The magazine holds 8 but there is room to feed it 10 or more. I knew that wouldn't fly, so I was careful to stay at 8 plus one. Accuracy at 5 yards was very good. 3 yards, I was getting a 2 inch grouping. I know I can improve accuracy as I get to know the trigger better. The sights are black & I had a hard time seeing the front. Will need some glow paint for sure. Man is that trigger long and stout. Actually gave me a bit of sore trigger finger. The reset is all the way back. Double action all the way.

Gotta say it felt great having a rimfire pocket rocket run smoothly new out of the box.
Fun little shooter.

To what Academy store in the metroplex did you go? The couple of stores here in Plano have no PLY-22's at all and their website does not list them. $199 seems like a great price as I have seen them for $249 or more used. Nice option
for a BUG.

I picked my PT22 poly up at
Academy Sports
1101 West Arbrook Boulevard
Arlington, TX 76015
TEL:
(817) 375-3210

I purchased it about 5 days ago. When I tried to check their inventory online, they didn't show 1 in stock. I gave the store a call & spoke with their gun department. The gentleman checked his inventory & had 2 of them in stock. I asked him if he would hold one for me until the next. He did put a hold on it until the next day. I scurried on down & snapped it up along with 100 rounds of the CCI mini mag.

They may still have one remaining. Give em a hollar

OK, follow up to my post. This was just too good to be true. I have been stuck again with a Taurus product where magazines are scarce. I found the PT22 poly magazine on Ebay for $25 plus shipping. I hate dealing with Ebay. Midway has the PT22, but not poly. Even Taurus shows 0 available.

Went through this same problem with the PT709.. Took me 8 months to dig up 4 factory mags at a decent price. Ebay was selling the 709 mags for $80 for several months because of the shortage.

My hope is that maybe a phone call to Taurus tomorrow will dig up a couple if mags.

HMMM??
who was that funny looking real little German guy with the frizzy hair that said " to keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome is insanity"?

Actually, the correct & original quote was "To keep doing the same thing OVER & OVER and expect different results is insanity"

Thanks for the help folks. The Grabagun magazine was not for the PT22 Poly. It was for the PT22 Nonpoly.

I went ahead and ordered 2 magazines from Ebay for $22.95 which included shipping. I am through ranting & raving as this gun is proving to be a good deal. Plus all that stress could drive a person -- insane!
