Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Pistol

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is a purpose-built rimfire pistol designed for shooters who demand suppressor compatibility and reliable training performance straight from the factory. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this semi-automatic handgun delivers the handling and ergonomics of a full-size duty pistol while keeping ammunition costs manageable. Whether you are a firearms instructor, a competitive shooter, or a recreational plinker, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel provides a dedicated platform that accommodates standard suppressors without requiring aftermarket modifications.

Overview

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel represents a practical evolution of the proven TX22 series. This model retains the lightweight polymer frame and high-capacity magazine system that shooters have come to trust, while adding a factory-installed threaded barrel with a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch. The inclusion of a threaded barrel at this price point eliminates the need for expensive gunsmith work or aftermarket parts. The slide is cut for red dot optics, and the pistol ships with two 16-round magazines. The overall design prioritizes cycling reliability with a wide range of .22 LR ammunition, including standard velocity and subsonic loads commonly used with suppressors.

Features & Specs

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel combines practical engineering with user-friendly controls. The barrel is cold hammer-forged from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and longevity. The polymer frame incorporates a Picatinny accessory rail for lights or lasers, while the textured grip panels ensure positive control during rapid fire. The trigger is a single-action design with a smooth take-up and a crisp break, contributing to consistent accuracy.

Who It Is For

This pistol is specifically suited for shooters who need a suppressed training platform without compromising reliability. Instructors who teach transition drills or malfunction clearance will benefit from the full-size grip and familiar manual of arms. Recreational shooters who want to reduce noise and recoil during extended range sessions will find the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel an effective tool. Additionally, hunters and trappers who require a quiet sidearm for dispatching game or dispatching trapped animals will appreciate the factory-threaded barrel that accepts standard .22 suppressors. The pistol is also an ideal introduction to suppressed firearms for newer shooters, as the .22 LR cartridge produces manageable recoil and low report even without a suppressor attached.
