The Taurus TX Compact 22 Pistol in black is a versatile .22LR option from Taurus' TX series that blends full-feature ergonomics with compact dimensions, offering a 3.5" barrel with a 1:10 twist and a 13+1 capacity for extended range sessions and economical training; its optic-ready slide with lightening cuts accepts micro red-dots to speed target acquisition while the Picatinny rail lets you mount lights or lasers for low-light drills or range work. Built in the United States with a black polymer grip and SAO action, this model includes a manual safety, striker block, and trigger safety for layered security during carry or transition drills, and its rear serrated fixed sight paired with a white-dot front gives a clear sight picture out of the box. At just 4.9" tall and 6.7" long, the TX Compact 22 is easy to handle for new shooters and seasoned users who want a handy trainer that mirrors centerfire controls without the recoil or cost. FFL required for transfer, this semi-auto pistol covers training, plinking, small-game use, and skill development while delivering the reliable, shootable characteristics buyers look for in a compact .22 handgun.
