It’s obvious that care was taken in designing the grip around this button because the lines of the triggerguard (on both sides of the TX22) flow up and into the grip to offer protection to the serrated stainless-steel release. There’s a high cut at the back of the triggerguard, a trait of modern pistols that encourages a high grip in relation to the bore’s center axis. A finger ridge protrudes slightly below where the middle finger goes, and the backstrap arches prominently to fill the palm of the hand then curves in to accentuate the benefits of a beavertail that doesn’t extend beyond the back of the slide. I can agree with Taurus that the grip contours seem sculpted. Taurus released a statement that the grip “was crafted over a two-year period to ensure optimal wrist alignment, control and overall conformity to almost all hand sizes.” I can believe it. The frame is molded for the human hand, one that’s sized medium to extra-large. (You may also note that its price has the TX22 near the bottom of the list, so it could be a great bang for your buck.) Get a Grip The TX22 ($350) comes with two, 16-round magazines in case you’d like to start noting comparisons. With exception of the CP33, which has a 33-round magazine and the S&W M&P22 which features a 12-rounder, all of the other mentioned models come with a 10-round magazine. Its primary competitors include the Beretta U22 Neos ($325) the new Kel-Tec CP33 ($475) the hammer-fired Ruger SR22 ($440) the Smith & Wesson M&P22 ($419) and M&P22 Compact ($390) and Walther’s P22 ($320). The TX22 is a full-size, polymer-frame, blowback-operated and striker-fired semiautomatic. If you’re a skeptic of print and only think that YouTube provides more honest reviews, allow me to encourage you to watch David Nash, a rising YouTube star better known as “22plinkster.” Guns & Ammo’s staff also tested two TX22 samples for 30 days and everyone who shot it said the same thing: “This pistol deserves an open mind.” Those of you who may have a bad taste in your mouth for Taurus products shouldn’t try to predict the fate of this rimfire by stereotyping the brand. Testing the new Taurus TX22 left me speechless.
