Taurus Raises the Bar with NEW TX22 Competition 22 Long Rifle
Adam Scepaniak 01.27.21
Taurus has stepped up big in the world of rimfire pistols in the last few years by making a departure from the diminutive PT-22 handgun and delivering the TX22, which boasts a surprising magazine capacity of 16 rounds. Now Taurus has kicked it up to another level by creating the TX22 Competition with even more features for all the serious target shooters out there. Taurus expounds on their freshly upgrade TX22 Competition below:
“Meet the all-new Taurus TX 22 Competition—a custom-tuned mod of our award-winning polymer sporting pistol. This full-size, semi-auto rimfire is painstakingly re-engineered to meet your most rigorous performance demands. The upgraded, red dot optics-ready slide and 5” threaded Bull Barrel assembly brings match-grade accuracy and versatility to any shooting discipline. Giving today’s competitive shooters the unique opportunity to shatter records without breaking the bank.“
The MSRP for the new TX22 Competition is benchmarked at $484.35 for the high-capacity (16-Round) or low-capacity (10-round) versions. As always, peace of mind comes standard with Taurus’ Limited Lifetime Warranty and industry leading customer service as well.
