Taurus PT22 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The PT22 is a .22 LR semi-automatic pistol produced by Taurus and features an 8+1 round capacity magazine. The PT22 is often viewed as a Taurus copy of the Beretta 21 Bobcat due to having a similar "tip up" barrel. In fact this small pistol is very different in design and function from the Beretta. The PT22 may have either a cast aluminum or polymer frame, and a steel slide. It is one of an increasing variety of Taurus firearms manufactured in Florida, USA. It has a spur-less hammer, and a long but smooth double action only (DAO) trigger. The "tip up" barrel is useful in that the first round may be chambered directly into the barrel, and the operator does not have to "pull back" or "rack" the slide. Retracting the slide is difficult due to the heavy spring required in this blow-back action. The grip feel of the PT22 is "fat", and fills a normal-sized hand. This width may make the PT22 difficult for some smaller handed people to hold comfortably. The Taurus PT22 is only able to fire standard or high velocity cartridges; while hyper and ultra velocity cartridges will load and fire, they cannot be safely used in the PT22. Taurus also sells a .25 ACP version called the PT25.

Did not like the slide which was very hard to pull back. You have to put a round in the chamber to fire, which is un safe to me.

Bought this little gun because I liked the green handles. It was fun to shoot as well, no jams and performed well

Great little gun once it got broken in. Very unreliable feeding initially both with magazine provided and an extra one I got. Slide is essentially immovable by hand but pop up is used for first round anyway. Not for a beginner but fun for an experienced p

Very pleased with this purchase. Other than the super ugly green grips, this is a very good shooting pocket pistol. A little flat black paint cured the green grip problem, a good cleaning, and a box of CCI's and the gun functioned flawlessly. Not champion

As good if not better than Beretta, and I love Beretta as well as Taurus. She's a keeper as a concealed popper especially with .22LR copper hollow points. Took her right to the Range and the gold trigger and Emerald grips made her a Looker. However perfor

THIS IS THE THIRD TAURUS PT SERIES I OWN AND I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY. THIS GREEN/GOLD IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING GUN AND HANDLES WELL FOR A SMALL SIZED WEAPON. EVEN THOUGH IT IS A .22 I'M SURE IT WOULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IF NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE

Awesome little 22. I watched the reviews on Yahoo before I purchased it. Then bought one for me and one for the little lady. Most bad reviews on 22 pistols come from running the wrong ammo through them. This little gal seems to like Remington 40 grain Thu
