Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the Taurus TX22 Competition and the standard TX22?

The TX22 Competition features a longer 5.25-inch bull barrel, a stationary red dot mount on the barrel shroud, a steel guide rod, three magazines, and comes in a hard case. The standard model has a 4.1-inch barrel, a plastic guide rod, two magazines, and a cardboard box.

How does the red dot mounting system on the Taurus TX22 Competition work?

The TX22 Competition has a unique system where the red dot sight is mounted directly onto the barrel shroud. Because the barrel is stationary relative to the frame, the optic remains fixed and does not move with the slide, which can aid in faster target acquisition on follow-up shots.

What are the pros and cons of the stock sights on the Taurus TX22 series?

The stock sights on the Taurus TX22 are made of plastic and are considered a weak point by the reviewer. They are described as flimsy, difficult to adjust precisely for windage and elevation, and prone to moving. Many users opt for aftermarket sights or red dot optics.

What is the weight difference between the Taurus TX22 Competition and the standard model?

The Taurus TX22 Competition is significantly heavier, weighing 23.2 ounces, compared to the standard TX22 which weighs 17.3 ounces. This added weight, particularly from the bull barrel, contributes to a different feel and potentially better stability.
