I put in my rebate on the 12th and they were in my porch on the 17th. Was blown away. As I was leaving the 18th and bummed I was only gonna have one functioning mag on the trip. |

 Attached FileShot my TX22 Competition model today. Wowsers!! Super fast Tigger pull, weight and break. **Trigger reset is Foward spring assist that pushes you trigger finger foward for the next shot. Iron sights were fantastic and had a perfect zero. Loved 40 grain CCI Had two jams with Agilia 22. The open slide made shooting the smokey Agilia 22LR rounds a pain with no breeze. |

If yours is like mine, it will shoot Federal auto match reliably and well. Which is a huge plus, because I got a good pile of it pretty cheap. Probably close to 4,000 rounds through it so far. Just clean it every 500 or so and it keeps going. |

Tx22 barrels are know to be be shitty.
Mine shoots fine until I install my suppressors. Bullets keyhole terribly. I replaced the barrel with a Lakeline barrel. No more keyholing. I also have a P322 and the TX22 is better. But I like the P322 too. P322 barrel had leading problems for some people. Not mine. |

My mistake, you are right. I thought there were two types, because the packaging and projectiles can have different appearances... But it looks to all be LRN as you said. I don't have any signs of leading in my competition barrel that has around 4,000 rounds through it, the vast majority being automatch. Easily maintains 5MOA with cheap ammo to pink steel with. Maybe better with better ammo, I dunno. |

If you want one I would go for it. The only thing I really don't like about the Romeo is that the on/off button on the top isn't as easy to activate as a dot with the controls on the side. |

I have 3 TX22's now. One has a kinda rough looking bore but shoots great. I mostly shoot lead bullets such as Automatch, CCI SV and Blazer. I just run a bore snake every 500rds or so and no leading problems so far. One Gen2 around 2,000rds and a compact at 500rds.
I am not aware of any having sleeved barrels. The Gen 1 and Compact have skinny threaded barrels with a thread protector that looks like a sleeved barrel. |

My friend has shot out several early TX22 pistol barrels and Taurus keeps replacing them. I'm looking too hard to find reasons why I guess. I also have a TX-22 compact model with a pencil barrel. It has very poor relative accuracy 4" or larger groups at 20 yards, with the same ammo and shooter, compared to my competition model which easily shoots 2" or less. I keep forgetting to call Taurus when they are open to see if they will replace it. Others seem to believe the barrels are hit or miss quality. I can only talk about my sample size of 2. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Missilegeek: What sort of accuracy are you getting with your compact model using the cheap ammo? I haven't put it on paper yet, only had it out a few times but it has been comparable to my Gen2. I'd say around 2" at 25yds. It easily hits 3" steel at 25yds and 8" steel at 50yds. I have noticed it has more play between the barrel and the slide than the Gen2. It pretty much only gets shot suppressed and the extra weight might help the barrel settle in the same spot each time? I got it for my 10yo to shoot thinking the smaller size would fit him better. He wanted a laser on it so it got one before the first range trip. Gave it a rough zero on cans in the dirt then tuned it a little better on 25yd steel but not a good paper target zero. |

I'm continually impressed with this handgun. I shot a few hundred rounds today. The trigger, reset, and feel, allowed me to shoot better than I'm capable of.
Simply firing as fast as I could pull the trigger I was able to keep all rounds in a fairly decent group on these steel 1/3rd scale IDPA targets at 15yrds. It sounded like a full auto, with the speed I was able to get rounds off.  In a semi rapid fire set, say firing 2rds per second, I was able to get this 16rd group at 10yrds. Yes, the flyer was my shitty skills showing through. I started double tapping instead of keeping to the slower pace. I'm highly dissaponted in my Glock44 now. How did they miss the boat so bad? I'm by far no handgun expert. With the target at 50yrds, I'm usually not a real fan of my results.  Today, I missed a few for sure, but probably 3/4 of my shots found the target, and most of those were centered on the target, just below the "head". I can't wait to get a green dot on this.  10yrd semi rapid fire group.

   I got a chance to go shooting again and run 100 or so runs thru the two mags it came, with. Flawless, not one problem, ate everything I gave it. trigger is very Glock like and it even fits my Safariland holster. I should have gone for this first v. my G44. The barrel looks like it's starting to lead up again, I need to run some runs thru it and watch the groups, with a freshly cleaned barely I could get 2"-3" groups at 25 yds off a rest. I might be selling my G44. no need for it anymore. |

You might have to heat it up to get it out if you use red loc tite. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TW200: Went shooting yesterday with friends. One friend's standard model/barrel TX22 has had 2 barrels replaced by Taurus. This is his new barrel after 1,000 rounds. We tried cleaning the barrel, didn't help one bit. I think the rifling got shot out. I took these images. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/309020/20240804_095852_jpg-3286547.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/309020/20240804_095857_jpg-3286548.JPG The pictures are too crappy/blurry to see anything. But if the issue is you can not see the rifling, then it is leaded up something fierce. Letting it go that long without cleaning is your problem. You are going to have to scrub the shit out of the barrel with a bore brush to get all the lead out. Gonna take lots of elbow grease. Lead is soft and lead also will stick to itself. Once a little starts building up in the barrel, it starts sticking to itself and stripping more from the bullets and at some point starts to snowball. At 6 digit numbers, you might start seeing a little throat erosion in a 22lr, but it is almost all but impossible to completely shoot out the rifling in a 22lr barrel. Why so many people are so allergic to cleaning their guns is beyond me. |

just picked up a gen2 in trade and unfortunately for me it does not have the optics ready slide. I looked on the taurus site and they don't sell just the T.O.R.O. slide... they sell the "exchange" kit with barrel and all which I don't need, but they are out of stock anyway...
anyone know where I could possibly get just the T.O.R.O. slide?
