Looks like we joined the club. Picked this up tonight. First one I’ve purchased, I inherited a original golden 39a and used dads shotgun on occasion. The old 39a has a burr and needs worked on. This will be my sons when he gets old enough in a couple years, he got annoyed quick with the old gun jamming. I’ll admit don’t remember much about firearms so need to work on that, family wasn’t big into it. Got a small range setup at the new property.. 10-25-50 yards.

I keep looking at these. Generally I like target 22 pistols but for some reason these little TX22's have gotten my attention. Maybe its the higher mag capacity or the fact it looks like it would be a good trainer in place of the 9mm as the target pistols dont share the same ergonomics or trigger feel. Make sure to post a review when you get some trigger time.
I have the original TX22 and the TX22 Compact. Both are awesome suppressor hosts. Never had any issues with mine. I shoot those more than my Browning Buckmark or S/W Victory.
I just got my TX22 TORO model from the KY Gun Co deal last week. The gun with a Veridian reflex green dot, 3x16 round magazines and 2x22 round magazines. Great price. Can't wait to shoot it this coming Monday.
I have a first gen TX22 (before the Compact existed, etc). I like it but I think the barrel was messed up out of the box, getting keyholing after a mag or two.
I assume Taurus would take care of me if I called them...submitting a service request online basically makes it sound like I need to send the whole gun in.
For now my solution is a Ruger Mark IV that Im picking up tonight.

I have quite a few Rugers , you will find those pistols much more accurate than the topic gun
I picked up an original model a few year ago and my feelings are mixed. Mags are quite sensitive to how they are loaded and the trigger feel is just odd. Really have to focus on the squeeze, at least for me.
Feels good in the hand and is generally reliable after the mags got broken in.

Shot a few rounds tonight. No complaints but I don’t have much to compare to. The boys seem to pick it up after couple cartridges.

Love the Buckmark, hate the way it field strips.
I have yet to take it completely apart. I've just been using CLP, a bore snake, old toothbrush and Q-tips to clean it. I rarely shoot the Buckmark as the TX22's and Victory gets used a lot more.
I've been eyeballing the TX22 series for a while now. I may need to take the plunge someday just for something new and different since every other pistol I own is in 9mm.
I've had a gen 2 for about six to eight months. Overall I like it but it did/does have a couple little issues. The biggest was barrel leading. The first two or three mags would be fine, it'd shoot where I was aiming. After that, the groups would open way up. Look down the barrel and the last half to third toward the muzzle was leaded up bad. Cleaned it and shot some more, same thing. This time around, it was so leaded I got the bore brush stuck in the bore and had to hammer it out.
I contacted Taurus and they had me send in the barrel and sent a new one out quick. Haven't had a problem with that issue since.
The only other issue I've had was the 22 round magazine not feeding consistently. The follower on the 22 rounders are difference than the followers for the 16 rounders. I've seen reports that the follower is what is causing the issue but I haven't experimented to confirm this theory. I just ordered two more 16 rounders and live with it.

Hopefully, there will be some quality aftermarket magazines available soon.
