Taurus 22TUC 22 Long Rifle 2.5 inch 9+1 PVD Blue Black Frame

The Taurus 22TUC Pistol 22 LR is a compact CCW-ready option that brings modern rimfire terminal ballistics into a carryable package, with a 2.5" PVD blue barrel and black frame finish that balance discreet carry and durability for everyday use. Its tip-up barrel lets you load or clear the chamber without racking the serrated slide, making it friendly for shooters with limited hand strength or when speed and simplicity matter in a defensive encounter. The DAO double-action trigger mirrors the consistent, deliberate pull of a defensive revolver, delivering a strong hammer strike to improve ignition reliability with 22 Long Rifle ammo while maintaining a smooth travel for controlled follow-up shots. With a 9+1 capacity in a slim profile and black polymer grips that aid control, the 22TUC is useful for close-quarters home defense, pocket or ankle carry, and introductory carriers who want a low-recoil practice platform that translates to real-world defensive scenarios. As part of Taurus's compact defensive lineup, this semi-auto pistol combines approachable recoil, user-friendly loading, and everyday carry ergonomics into a single, dependable option that requires an FFL transfer.
