The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel model delivers a reliable, lightweight platform for shooters seeking a suppressed or compensated rimfire experience. Chambered in .22 LR, this pistol combines the proven ergonomics of the Taurus GX4 platform with a factory-threaded barrel, making it an ideal choice for training, pest control, and plinking. With a 3.06-inch threaded barrel and a 12+1 round capacity, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel offers low recoil, high magazine capacity, and the ability to attach your preferred muzzle device. This model is a practical upgrade for anyone who wants a dedicated .22 LR pistol without the need for aftermarket barrel modifications.

Overview

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol built on a compact polymer frame. It features a 1:16 twist rate barrel, a manual safety, and a reversible magazine release. The threaded barrel protrudes slightly from the slide, providing a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch compatible with most .22 LR suppressors and compensators. The pistol ships with two 12-round magazines and comes in an all-black finish. As a factory-threaded variant, the Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel eliminates guesswork for shooters who want to add a suppressor for quieter range sessions or reduced muzzle rise. The slide is machined with serrations for positive grip, and the sights are fixed with a white dot front and serrated rear.
