Taurus 22Tuc Tau 1-22Tuc131 22Lr 3 1X9 Rds Bk/Bk

The Taurus 22TUC is a lightweight .22 LR pistol purpose-built for everyday carry and personal protection. At just 10 ounces unloaded, this microcompact handgun delivers shootability and firepower in a package small enough to pocket or purse without weighing you down. The 22TUC strips away complexity in favor of reliability and ease of use—whether you're new to firearms or adding a backup gun to your defensive rotation.

The tip-up barrel design eliminates the need to rack a slide; simply flip the barrel up, load a round, and you're ready. The double-action trigger mirrors defensive revolver mechanics, providing a reliable hammer strike on rimfire ammo while maintaining a smooth, controllable trigger press. With 9 rounds on tap and an ambidextrous manual safety, you get realistic capacity for self-defense without unnecessary bulk. The fixed sights—rear square notch and orange-dot front—are fast to acquire and adequate for the close ranges where a .22 CCW pistol operates best.

Built on a polymer frame with a stainless steel, matte-black slide and barrel, the 22TUC is corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance. The integrated Picatinny rail lets you mount a light or laser if your carry method permits. Whether you're looking for a true pocket gun, a backup for your primary carry piece, or a .22 LR pistol that actually prioritizes usability over features, the Taurus 22TUC delivers. As the saying goes: the gun you carry beats the one you left home.
