Editor’s Note: The Taurus TX22 is a great choice for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, and sometimes even self-defense. Most .22 LR pistols hold 10 rounds due to concerns about rimlocking. However, Taurus seems to have figured this problem out and created an ergonomic, great-shooting rimfire pistol with a capacity of 16 rounds.  The TX22 features a polymer frame with an ergonomic grip design and match-grade threaded bull barrel.  Overall, the Taurus TX22 is a reliable and accurate 22LR pistol that's ideal for a variety of uses. As with most Taurus products, it comes in at an attractive price point, and its features have put it ahead of many of the guns in its class.

Accuracy
Accuracy is solid across most ammunition types
Reliability
As with other Taurus products, you may hear about some lemons, but by in large, this is a reliable rimfire pistol.
Customization
Its quick popularity has led to a fairly strong aftermarket
Ergonomics
Ergonomics are good, but a longer beavertail and adjustable backstraps would have been nice

FINAL VERDICT

Taurus threw conventional thinking in the trashcan when designing the TX22. Gone were the days of limiting rimfire magazines to 10 rounds and scaling down an existing gun. The TX22 was built from the ground up to be competitive both feature and price-wise, and it has definitely succeeded. A strong aftermarket and larger companies being forced to make similar guns help showcase how good the TX22 really is.
