Taurus 1-TX22131VL TX22C Compact 3.6" 14-Round Threaded Barrel Pistol

The Taurus 1-TX22131VL TX22C Compact 3.6" 14-Round Threaded Barrel Pistol is a purpose-built .22 LR rimfire platform designed for shooters who demand proven reliability in a lightweight, portable package. This compact pistol serves dual roles—training and personal defense—making it ideal for law enforcement academy instructors, military personnel conducting marksmanship fundamentals, and civilian shooters seeking a low-recoil, high-capacity platform. At 1.86 lbs, the TX22C delivers manageable handling without sacrificing functional capacity or durability in the field.

Built on Taurus's proven single-action locked-breech design, the TX22C features a threaded 3.6-inch barrel engineered for suppressor integration or muzzle device compatibility, critical for noise-sensitive training environments and tactical applications. The 14-round magazine capacity maximizes rounds on target before reload—a significant advantage over conventional .22 LR competitors in the compact class. The pistol's compact footprint (6.3 x 2.1 x 9.9 inches) ensures easy concealment and rapid draw from duty or civilian carry rigs, while the threaded barrel option eliminates aftermarket modification costs and preserves warranty coverage.

Law enforcement trainers benefit from reduced ammunition costs and minimal recoil impulse when conducting qualification courses or remedial marksmanship instruction. Military end-users leverage the lightweight profile and .22 LR platform for advanced pistol fundamentals courses where trigger control and sight picture dominate training objectives. The threaded barrel integrates seamlessly with standard 1/2x28 suppressors and training devices, making the TX22C a practical choice for facilities managing noise complaints or conducting clandestine operational preparation. This pistol is optimized for users prioritizing ammunition efficiency, functional capacity, and training-grade performance in a durable, field-proven platform.
