Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Pistol

If you have been shopping for a compact rimfire pistol that is ready for a suppressor right out of the box, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel model deserves a close look. This little .22 LR semiautomatic is built around the same proven 22TUC platform but adds a factory-threaded barrel for suppressor use, making it a versatile choice for plinking, training, or small-game hunting. Whether you are a California shooter looking for a range companion or a new pistol for introducing others to the sport, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel offers solid performance without the heavy price tag of some competitors.

Overview

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is a slim, lightweight pistol chambered in .22 LR. It features a 3.35-inch barrel with factory threads (1/2×28) so you can quickly attach a suppressor or compensator. The pistol uses a double-action-only trigger system, which means every pull is consistent and helps prevent accidental discharges. With an 11-round magazine capacity and an overall weight of just over 10 ounces, it is easy to carry in a range bag or holster. For California customers, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel complies with state roster requirements, and the threaded barrel does not disqualify it for standard purchase when used with a fixed magazine or other legal configuration. The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel model is essentially the same reliable rimfire pistol but with the added flexibility of a threaded muzzle.

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is not a target pistol, but it is accurate enough for plinking at 15 to 25 yards and handles standard velocity .22 LR ammunition reliably. The double-action trigger takes some practice but becomes predictable with a few magazines through it.

Who It Is For

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is a good fit for several types of shooters. If you are a California resident looking for an affordable pistol to train new shooters, the low recoil and mild report make it less intimidating than larger calibers. The threaded barrel is also useful if you already own a .22 suppressor and want a compact host pistol. For experienced shooters, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel serves as a lightweight backup gun or a dedicated trainer that mimics the manual of arms of a double-action-only defensive pistol. It is not intended for self-defense, but it works well for range practice, introducing friends to shooting, or controlling pests around the property. The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is also a solid choice for anyone who simply enjoys inexpensive rimfire shooting without the bulk of a full-size pistol.
