The Taurus 22TUC is a lightweight .22 LR pocket pistol purpose-built for everyday carry and personal protection. At just 10 ounces unloaded, this microcompact handgun delivers the ultimate "have a gun" option—one you'll actually keep on you. The tip-up barrel simplifies loading without racking a slide, and the double-action trigger provides the reliable, deliberate hammer strike rimfire ammunition demands while maintaining a smooth trigger press throughout. With a 9-round magazine and fixed sights topped with an orange dot front sight, the 22TUC gives you straightforward, no-nonsense sighting and enough rounds on tap when one shot might not be enough.
Built for shooters who value simplicity and carry comfort, this Taurus pistol pairs a stainless steel slide and barrel (matte finish) with a polymer frame. The ambidextrous manual safety and integrated Picatinny rail add versatility without bulk. At 5 inches overall length and just an inch wide, it disappears into a pocket holster or waistband rig. The 22 LR round has made real strides in terminal ballistics over the past decade, and modern ammo choices mean this little gun is a genuinely viable backup or primary CCW piece for those who prioritize shootability and carry-ability.
If you're building a deep-carry option, a truck gun, or a reliable backup that won't slow you down, the 22TUC delivers accessible, uncomplicated personal protection. It's the gun you'll actually have with you.
