Taurus Tx22c 22lr Bk/de 3.5" Pistol

The Taurus TX22C 22LR Bk/de 3.5" Pistol is a compact rimfire platform built for shooters seeking low-recoil, high-round-count training or tactical practice without the cost and wear of centerfire ammunition. Designed for law enforcement qualification, recreational shooters, and precision trainers, this semi-automatic delivers the ergonomic controls and modular features of modern duty pistols in an affordable, shootable package. The 22 LR cartridge makes this ideal for marksmanship drills, transition work, and extended dry-fire practice scenarios where budget constraints would otherwise limit training volume.

Built on proven Taurus engineering, the TX22C features a 3.5-inch barrel and carries the signature black and desert tan finish that blends tactical aesthetics with corrosion resistance. The compact slide-to-frame proportions yield a 6.7-inch overall length, keeping the pistol fast from holster while maintaining controllable recoil impulse and sight radius sufficient for accurate fire. Semi-automatic operation with true double-action/single-action trigger geometry mirrors mainstream duty platforms, allowing operators to transition between calibers without relearning fundamentals or grip mechanics.

Law enforcement trainers, competitive shooters, and civilian gun owners benefit from the TX22C's role as a high-volume training surrogate that accepts standard 22 LR ammunition and maintains frame-mounted safety and control placement consistent with centerfire duty weapons. The lightweight profile—just 1 pound—reduces fatigue during extended practice sessions, while the compact 3.5-inch barrel profile fits standard holster rigs and concealment options. This pistol pairs well with indoor ranges, qualification courses, and skill-building environments where minimizing noise and projectile energy is tactically sound and financially smart.
