Taurus has expanded its lineup with the 22TUC, a .22 LR pistol designed for personal protection and concealed carry. It’s packed with features that make it both reliable and user-friendly. Here is what they had to say about the release.
Your Go-To Compact .22 LR for Reliable Everyday Carry
The First Rule of Gunfighting: Have a gun. The 22TUC from Taurus USA is the ultimate expression of “have a gun.” An extremely lightweight 22 LR, the 22TUC takes advantage of developments in 22 LR terminal ballistics to deliver a user-friendly CCW option that is easy to shoot and, most importantly, a gun you can carry effortlessly.
Features like the tip-up barrel make the 22TUC easy to load, eliminating the need to rack a slide. The double-action trigger, similar to a defensive revolver, provides a heavy enough hammer strike to guarantee ignition with rimfire ammo while still remaining smooth throughout its entire travel. Lastly, the 9-round capacity means that the 22TUC provides enough firepower if one shot isn’t enough.
Key Features of the Taurus 22TUC:
- Tip-Up Barrel Design: The Taurus 22TUC offers a convenient tip-up barrel that allows effortless loading without the need to rack the slide. This feature makes the 22TUC accessible to shooters of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned firearm owners looking for an easy-to-use option.
- Double-Action Trigger: The 22TUC is equipped with a reliable double-action (DA) trigger, ensuring consistent ignition with rimfire ammunition. This added reliability enhances confidence in performance, whether the pistol is used for personal defense or everyday carry.
- 9-Round Capacity: With a 9-round magazine, the 22TUC strikes the perfect balance between compactness and sufficient capacity, making it ideal for a range of applications, from backup defense to simple daily carry.
- Lightweight, Compact Frame: At just the right size for comfortable concealment, the 22TUC offers a compact yet capable design that ensures users stay ready and equipped without the bulk of a larger firearm.
With its user-friendly tip-up barrel design, shooters can load effortlessly without the need to rack the slide, making the 22TUC an ideal choice for new and experienced firearm owners.
Coupled with its double-action (DA) trigger for dependable ignition and a 9-round capacity, the 22TUC strikes the perfect balance between classic design and modern innovation—offering a lightweight yet powerful solution for concealed carry or as a backup firearm. With the growing popularity of .22 LR ammunition in defensive use, the Taurus 22TUC delivers simplicity, reliability, and peace of mind in a compact design.
