I have a PT22 that I have owned for years, along with the similar model Beretta.

I never had any problems with the Taurus but had feeding issues with the Beretta. They tend to be finicky on ammo, but once you find a brand that runs, they are a ton of fun and really well made for the price.

You can borrow mine if you like, I know where you live...

Got a tx22 on order. Not in hand yet. But for $159 after rebate from grabagun not sure you can go wrong either way.

FACTS!! Just the FACTS!!! :D

I picked up a Taurus SS PT22Poly a few months, or so, back.

Got time a week or so later and began running 300 to 400 rounds over the next couple days, when it suddenly refused to reset the trigger and failed to feed.

I was very disappointed because I was hitting tennis balls at 25 yards rather consistently.

I thought about it for awhile, and wondered, maybe a little oil would help,... AND THEN I REALIZED :shock: MY FAILURE!!!

During the time of acquiring it, and then trying it out, I had forgotten and not oiled it AT ALL!!!

I had run hundreds of rounds through it FACTORY DRY, DRY, DRY!!!

I took it to the bench, pulled the slide, molly greased the rails and trigger, popped it back together, walked over to my pistol range and put 300 rounds through it again without a single failure of any kind!

Since then I have put a few hundred more rounds through it, also, without a hic-up!!!

Can't blame a tool for operator error!!!

I researched this pistol extensively before buying. I don't normally buy Taurus, only bought one, prior, and didn't care for it, so I was very cautious about buying another one. This latest Taurus release had nothing but positive reviews and they are well deserved.

I now carry this pocket piece,... if that tells you anything,... hope this helps, good luck!


p.s.,... I guess I should mention that I only run Aquila SSS 60 grain subs through it,... very nice penetrating little pellets!!!

Did it shoot them straight. I've had trouble in many different weapons stabilizing those. Some do, some don't.

Yup, paper targets showed no tumbling.

The Marlin 60 that I won here in the AzShooter raffle, shoots clover leaf one hole patterns with the stuff at 30 yards and 1/2" groups out at 50 yards. At 30 yards or less, before I took the scope off :D , I think I could shoot flies with that Marlin and the Aquila 60 gr.

I tried three or four other makes, weights and velocities,... and the SSS 60 grainers were the ONLY ONES THAT SHOT WELL in the Marlin.

Go figure, I guess I was just lucky.

Just had a chance to try my TX22. Only had time for 90 rounds but it ran great. I like the feel of the frame and the trigger was very good for a stock pistol. I used Mini-Mags for break in but have the mags loaded with cheap bulk Federal for the next trip. For the price I do not think you could go wrong. Mine will come in at about $160 after the rebate.

Picked up the little jewels, so gonna go out and spend the day burning powder in the taurus and afew long guns i am working on. getting to where i really like the pistol caliber carbines, easy on the old shoulder, and amazingly accurate if you can do your part.
sure like the feel of the little guy, time will tell
