Taurus TX 22 T.O.R.O is Redefining Rimfire Handguns

The Taurus TX 22 TORO (Taurus Optic Ready Option) represents a significant leap forward in the realm of rimfire pistols. As an enhanced version of the already acclaimed TaurusTX™ 22 line, the TX 22 TORO is engineered to provide superior performance and reliability, making it an excellent choice for competitive shooting, personal protection, and recreational use. I wanted to do a features overview, along side a recently release video review. So, this review will delve into the key features, specifications, and overall performance of this versatile firearm.

The Taurus TX 22 TORO is designed with a keen eye for both aesthetics and functionality. It features a full-size polymer frame with a hard anodized black finish, offering durability and a sleek, modern look. The pistol weighs in at 17.30 ounces unloaded, making it lightweight and easy to handle.

The slide is crafted from aluminum and also sports a hard anodized black finish. Notably, the slide includes proprietary lightening cuts, which not only enhance the pistol’s agility but also give it a distinctive appearance. The overall length of the firearm is 7.06 inches, with a barrel length of 4.60 inches, providing a balanced profile that contributes to its excellent handling characteristics.

Trigger System

One of the standout features of the TX 22 TORO is the Taurus Performance Trigger System (PTS). This trigger system is designed to provide a smooth, consistent pull, enhancing control and comfort during shooting. The PTS significantly contributes to the pistol’s accuracy, making it a joy to shoot, whether you’re a seasoned marksman or a beginner.

Sights and Optics

The pistol comes equipped with enhanced iron sights— a fixed white dot front sight and a drift adjustable rear sight. These sights are adequate for most shooting scenarios, offering good visibility and accuracy. However, the TX 22 TORO truly shines with its optic-ready capability. The MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail allows for easy customization with various optics, lasers, or lights, providing versatility for different shooting needs.
