THE TAURUS TX22 COMPLETE HANDBOOK: A Guide to All Models, Ammunition Performance, Optics, Suppressors, and Gunsmithing

The TX22 is not just another .22 pistol.Taurus engineered the TX22 from the ground up in the United States — a 16-round rimfire pistol with a factory-threaded barrel, a refined trigger, and an aftermarket ecosystem that rivals centerfire competition guns. It won Handgun of the Year in its debut year. Paired with a quality suppressor, it becomes something else entirely.This is the most complete TX22 reference available.Former law enforcement officer, NRA Life Member, and certified firearms instructor Scott L. Buttrick covers the full TX22 platform from the ground up — the full model line with detailed specifications and selection guidance; the complete TandemKross upgrade catalog with pricing, installation notes, and upgrade sequences by shooter profile; optics selection for the RMSc/TORO footprint with a detailed review of the Cyelee CAT PRO from the author's own Compact TORO; complete field strip and detail strip gunsmithing with a cleaning protocol calibrated to .22 LR fouling demands; suppressed shooting with the Banish 22 titanium suppressor; and real chronograph data from the author's own TX22 Compact TORO across every tested load, with subsonic confirmation for suppressed use and a suppressed vs. unsuppressed velocity comparison.After owning a Walther P22 — unreliable, sold it — and a Smith & Wesson M&P 22 that develops cycling issues after 100+ rounds of firing due to fouling, the TX22 Compact TORO is the most reliable .22 LR pistol the author has owned.The TX22 earned this book.
