Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus TX22 Competition for sale
Is the Taurus TX22 a good gun?
Whether it's good depends on your needs. TX22 owners report solid accuracy, reliable feeding across ammo types, and good ergonomics for plinking and range use. It's affordable around $350–$469, making it a practical choice for new shooters, competition, or casual target shooting.
What are the common problems with the Taurus TX22 competition?
Users report failures to feed, magazine issues, and light strikes. Some experience bullet nose-diving into the barrel or cartridges bending under the slide. Magazine quality appears linked to reliability—upgrading to aftermarket mags often resolves feeding problems. Not all units exhibit these issues consistently.
Is the Taurus TX22 competition accurate?
Yes. The TX22 Competition is accurate for a rimfire pistol. Its optic mounts directly to the barrel rather than the slide, reducing movement and improving precision. It performs well in Steel Challenge competition. Ammunition quality noticeably affects results.
What is the difference between the TX22 and the TX22 competition?
TX22 Competition features a non-reciprocating optic mount integrated into the barrel, reducing movement for better precision. The standard TX22 uses a slide-mounted optics cut. Both are .22 LR pistols sharing the same core design. Check current listings for magazine quantities included with each model.
Can you dry fire a Taurus TX22 competition?
Yes, the TX22 Competition can be dry fired safely without damaging the pistol. Dry firing is actually part of normal operation, as the trigger must be pulled to disassemble the gun for cleaning.
Why is the TX22 so hard to find?
The TX22 is genuinely hard to find right now. The TX-22 TORO Gen 2 has sold out across dealers nationwide, with reports of stock completely wiped out. We currently show it across 28 retailers priced between $411 and $520, but inventory is scarce. Check our marketplace for real-time availability updates.
How much is the Taurus TX22 competition SCR?
Taurus TX22 Competition SCR typically costs around $549.99, with prices generally ranging higher than older listings suggested. Six variants are available across 28 dealers, and all variants are currently in stock.
What distance should I zero my .22 LR?
For .22 LR rifles, no single zero is standard — common recommendations range from 20 to 60 yards depending on ammo, sights, and use. Popular choices include 25, 35, and 50 yards. For pistols, 15 yards works well with a red-dot; 7–10 yards suits iron sights.
