Taurus Tx22 Tau 12Tx22141Sp2 2Tx22 22Lr 4.6 16/22R Odg
The Taurus TX22 is a reliable, fun-to-shoot .22 LR pistol built for plinking, casual target work, and introducing shooters to handgun fundamentals. With its polymer frame, single-action trigger, and straightforward manual safety, the TX22 delivers the soft recoil and low report of rimfire in a compact, easy-to-handle package that won't punish your hand or wallet at the range. The two-tone finish—black with ODG (Olive Drab Green) splat pattern—gives it a modern look that stands out without being flashy.
This particular model comes with two magazines and your choice of either 16+1 or 22+1 capacity, depending on which mag you grab. The 4.0-inch barrel keeps the gun nimble in your hand, while the 7.06-inch overall length makes it easy to carry or store. At 17.3 oz unloaded, it's light enough for extended range sessions without fatigue. The fixed white-dot front sight and adjustable white-dot rear sight give you a clean sight picture for precision work, and the included 1/2×28 threaded adapter opens the door to suppressors or other muzzle devices if you want to make your .22 even quieter.
The Taurus Pittman Trigger System keeps the 5 lb pull crisp and predictable—ideal for learning good trigger control. The Picatinny rail (Mil-STD 1913) gives you options to mount lights, lasers, or other gear. This is a workhorse rimfire that handles itself equally well at a casual Friday range day or as a trainer for shooters building fundamentals.
