Description

If you’re looking for an easy-to-handle .22LR pistol for range time, training new shooters, or keeping around the house, the Taurus PT-22 is worth a look. It’s a simple, reliable semi-automatic pistol that’s known for being approachable for those new to firearms. We see a lot of these going to folks taking their initial CCW course here in San Diego and wanting a low-recoil option to practice with.

Features

• Action: Double Action Only (DAO) – meaning you’ll need a consistent pull each time.
• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle – affordable and with minimal recoil.
• Barrel Length: 2.75 inches – short and maneuverable.
• Capacity: 8+1 rounds
• Safety: Manual safety, plus a magazine disconnect safety.
• Frame: Lavender Polymer – lightweight and durable.
• Grips: Polymer
• Sights: Fixed

The PT-22 stands out with its tip-up barrel. This makes loading cartridges directly into the chamber much easier than with a traditional slide, and it also provides a quick visual check to verify if the pistol is loaded. The magazine disconnect safety prevents the pistol from firing when the magazine is removed – an added safety feature. The extended magazine base helps with grip purchase, especially for smaller hands.

This pistol is a good choice for:

• Range Practice: Affordable .22LR ammo keeps the cost down for frequent range visits.
• Beginner Shooters: Low recoil makes it easy to learn proper shooting fundamentals.
• Home Defense: Compact size and reliable operation.
• Plinking: A fun and economical option for casual shooting.
