Taurus 22TUC .22 LR Pistol - Blue PVD - 1x 9rd Mag

The Taurus 22TUC in Blue PVD is a double-action-only .22 LR pistol with a 2.5-inch barrel, a tip-up barrel design, and a polymer frame. It ships with one 9-round magazine. The Blue PVD slide finish provides a distinctive color option on this compact carry platform.

The tip-up barrel allows the shooter to load and unload the chamber by tipping the barrel forward, eliminating the need to rack the slide. This makes the pistol accessible to shooters with limited hand strength or dexterity.

The double-action-only trigger operates similarly to a defensive revolver, providing a heavy enough hammer strike for reliable ignition with rimfire ammunition while maintaining smooth operation throughout the pull. The 9-round capacity provides more rounds than many competing .22 LR micro pistols.

The fixed sights include a fixed orange dot front sight for visibility and quick alignment. The polymer frame keeps the pistol lightweight for all-day carry.

The 22TUC accepts Taurus 22TUC 9-round magazines in .22 LR.

The combination of tip-up barrel, double-action trigger, lightweight polymer frame, and 9-round capacity makes the 22TUC suited for concealed carry, backup duty, and as a defensive pistol for shooters who prefer or require a low-recoil rimfire platform.

Taurus has manufactured firearms since 1939 and operates production facilities in Bainbridge, Georgia and São Leopoldo, Brazil. The company is known for offering a wide range of pistols and revolvers at accessible price points, establishing a strong presence in the budget-friendly defensive pistol market.
