Taurus PT22 Shooting and Review

[TheAmmunationStation]

man that is just a nifty little gun...im still thinking about getting one, just because of the "cool factor"...beautiful grips man

[TheFireArmGuy]

@TheAmmunationStation Also they are fairly inexpensive too. Great plinking toy

[23mrcowboys]

i think i had one of those at one time

[TheFireArmGuy]

@23mrcowboys Yeah they are pretty cool and fun to play with. Wouldnt carry it though

[CatchMeRollin5]

I just recently got mine and I Love it !

[TheFireArmGuy]

@CatchMeRollin5 Yeah man I popped off about 100 rds today without one issue. Im pretty happy with it

[OneHappyCattle]

This would be a sweet addition to my vast collection.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@OneHappyCattle Yeah bud no doubt

[OneHappyCattle]

The wood grip is awesome!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@OneHappyCattle Thanks but not as awesome as your new vid

[TheTriplets8x22x88]

Nice gun, I was thinking of getting one just for the heck of it. They have them brand new in my local shop for 200 dollars. Great video.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@TheTriplets8x22x88 Thats exactly why I got this, for the heck of it. A cheap gun thats a little different and fun to shoot works for me

[TheFireArmGuy]

@MrLeedleed I bought this gun to give to my mom or keep for fun. Ive owned the lcp for four years and recently traded it for an XD +cash. I had a bunch of problems with my lcp and no longer have any .380s. Good luck with yours

[MrSabotSlug]

Beautiful gun. I love the color. I think you made a good choice in getting that gun.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@MrSabotSlug Thanks buddy. Just another gun for a low price

[lhusby]

Forgot to say: This gun loves CCI's mini-mags

[TheFireArmGuy]

@lhusby Yeah the CCIs seem to cycle the best with most 22s ive found

[lhusby]

:) Nice review.

[cbfan1969]

good review

[TheFireArmGuy]

@cbfan1969 Thanks for checking it out

[123456789114]

Good video, but I'm not really a fan of pocket pistols, I rarely shoot my pt-22 I'll throw it in my backpack if I'm hiking other than that it stays in my safe

[TheFireArmGuy]

@123456789114 I may be giving this gun to my mom who could use the tip up barrel instead of pulling the slide. Im hoping this doesnt become a safe queen but it may be

[larriale]

OK I see you have a taurus! that's a cool 22.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@larriale Yeah man so far I like it

[MsSuperklutz]

Look like you did have fun shooting CSG 522.....as always....great info

[TheFireArmGuy]

@MsSuperklutz Thanks and have a great weekend

[NC77583]

Awsome video. Thanks! Pretty good gun for a Brazilian made!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@NC77583 Thanks buddy. The slide says made in the USA even though Taurus is a Brazilian company

[NC77583]

@TheFireArmGuy Oh, now I get it. THAT'S why it's a good gun, because it's made in the U.S.A. The Taurus pistols here (I live in Brazil) SUCK!!! I wasn't understanding how they were capable of making a fine gun like that! Haha..., thanks for the reply.

[lhusby]

@NC77583 Michael Baine jfrom Downrange podcast ust came back from Taurus plan in Porto Alegre Brazil. He said he never saw a so organized industry like that one around here. Taurus is a forge industry. They make from the screw to the frame inside the house. I've been there twice myself.

[NC77583]

@lhusby .....o...k.... Well, I can't say much about this because I've never been to Taurus factory, but I have a LOT of experience from a LOT of their guns. And I can tell you: it may even LOOK organized, because Taurus is Beretta's poop. So it may have a little bit of Beretta's organization, but I have a ton of stories you wouldn't believe. You said "they make from the screw to the frame", I'd say they make from the screw to shit...

[lhusby]

@NC77583 LOL. I must forgive your ignorance. A little research on wikipedia would help you out. My Taurus 24/7 runs like crazy. Almost 3500 with no problems. Is Taurus my favorite brand? NO. Do they make guns with problems? Yes. I hate Customer Service. Most of the bashing I see about Taurus is pure tradition Father to Son parroting and vice-versa. When you say "for a gun made in Brazil"you sound Xenophobic. As you might know, USA have good and bad gun names. Some are very trashy.

[NC77583]

@lhusby You do know that I'm brazilian, and that I live in Brazil, right? Ok, being aware of that, I have to tell you that SOME people get lucky with a Taurus gun. Some of them really are good, like your 24/7. But that's not the majority. I DO own Taurus gun, and I DO know what I'm talking about. I'll PM you with the thing that happened that bothered me the most. And btw, please don't accuse me of being ignorant. I didn't treat you that way, and I don't want to be treated that way.

[lhusby]

@NC77583 The term ignorance when used in english refers only to that specific issue. But I take offense when you refer to Made in Brazil as a negative stuff. I would love to know what you have to say about the problems you had with Tauruses.

[lhusby]

@lhusby :) You know what? Sorry about the tone. But this gets weird when I see on your file. You are a Brazilian guy living in the capitol Brazilia. I am Brazilian too. There are a lot of good products Made in Brazil and you know that. At least we both like guns. Abraço armeiro Taurus!!!!

[noBuzzkillin]

Looks exactly like the Beretta Jetfire. Very cool. Thank for posting.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@noBuzzkillin Yeah no doubt and the rumer is the Beretta is a better gun. Probably true

[downriverfirepower]

Vid turned out awesome, great shooting brother.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@downriverfirepower Thanks man and most fun was had with the cameraman

[TheFireArmGuy]

@2xEKIA Just like the GSG 522. BTW I have that red dot sighted in to the half inch. Makes it so much more fun. This little Taurus is fun too and for $115 I couldnt pass it up

[bluetunder40]

Sweet looking gun ..Ty for sharing Bro!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@bluetunder40 Thanks - Its an ok gun but a fun shooter none the less

[ArmyStinger150]

Very nice little pistol. Love the grips! Looks like alot of fun to shoot. Geat review!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@ArmyStinger150 Thanks bud and it is a nice little shooter

[Peidmonte89]

Hey bro, nice looking gun and great review! I looked at them be4 but they werent practical for me due to my tight budget (gotta make my choices really count). However I would like to get one one day. I held a .25 version before and it was quit comfortable! I have 2 complaints with the design. One is making it DAO instead of DA/SA, the other is they never made it in .32 and or .380. I think this design could be worked well in those calibers. What do you think bro? Again awesome gun and review! =)

[TheFireArmGuy]

@Peidmonte89 Many of the pocket pistols dont offer single action due to the increased risk of accidental discharge. They have to accomidate for the dummies out there. As for the stronger calibers, Im really not sure why they offer tip up barrels in .32s and .380s

[Peidmonte89]

@TheFireArmGuy I think it works in the Beretta Tomcat design although I understand you get some increased thickness to the slide. But I think its fine for an ankle carry. Just my opinion on the matter.

[TheCrewchief01]

I always have liked these guns ,for the size and the price.This would make a great pocket pistol (aka) mouse gun.Have heard alot of good about this gun,thx for sharing :)

[TheFireArmGuy]

@TheCrewchief01 Thanks man. I have heard both good and bad things about this gun. All I can say is for me and several hundred rounds it has worked fine

[dudespin]

What do the shot groups look like compared to your other pistols?

[TheFireArmGuy]

@dudespin Its not bad. I was able to hit my target from 10 yds no problem but can group way better with 9mm

[dudespin]

Wow! Look at that Muzzle Flash! No recoil too!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@dudespin Yeah it lights up pretty good

[SoulSurvivorX2]

I've got the same gun...hate it ;) c

[TheFireArmGuy]

@SoulSurvivorX2 Yeah I remember watching your vid and telling you to get rid of it and two weeks later I get one. I think for $115 I couldnt go wrong

[SoulSurvivorX2]

@TheFireArmGuy $115 is a great price. I'd be a lot happier with mine if that was all I paid ;) c

[jmmurdy]

nice

[TheFireArmGuy]

@jmmurdy Thanks bud

[FireArmsResQ]

That thing shoot some sweet flames!

Congrats on the new toy man. Thanks for making videos too. You make some of the best videos on here.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@FireArmsResQ Thanks buddy and I really appreciate the kind words. I like what you do more by exposing many of the rats on YT

[WickedKlown10mm]

Always did think those were nice little plinkers ... Hey just curious so when are you gonna shoot the xd9 sc

[TheFireArmGuy]

@WickedKlown10mm Im gonna put together a comparison vid this weekend with the XD sc9 and the G26. I already did a little target shooting with each so when I get the specs down I will make the vid - Thanks

[AmericanMade72]

Those little Taurus's are awesome! With one of those little pocket wonders, you have no excuse to ever leave the house "unarmed."

[TheFireArmGuy]

@AmericanMade72 I agree and with all the choices available now there is never a reason to go unarmed

[fumasterchu12]

That is really cool little pistol bro. I've never shot one but my mother-in-law has one of those. I looked them up on galleryofguns, and you can get one starting at $165 plus tax and shipping of course. Very inexpensive and looks like a decent plinker. Thanks for sharing.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@fumasterchu12 Wow thats a great price. I picked this one up for $115 used and it shot great

[TheFireArmGuy]

@TheStangbitten I know that Cindy from soulsurvivorx2 said that. Ive had good luck with this 22 as it shot well for me

[ridealotkid]

I have one too, I really love it. I do hate the frequent failures to fire but I think it is a good buy and fun. If you want to use it for self defense, fire it a lot, get use to the failures to fire and be ready to pull that trigger again! Great size, nice grip and I'm glad I bought it!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@ridealotkid You make some good points and I agree. I paid $115 for this gun so I couldnt pass it up

[vcqcfoda2]

put your hand on top of the barrel before open it, cus if u dont, differente from the berettas model of this gun, u will ruin the barrel cus it hits hard the frame.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@vcqcfoda2 OK good advice

[mrevolutionary]

nice looking gun looks fun. good video

[TheFireArmGuy]

@mrevolutionary Thanks for checking it out bud

[TheJackyBear]

nice...

[TheFireArmGuy]

@TheJackyBear Thanks buddy

[alleric357]

Cool little gun, heard the 25's don't work so well though!

[TheFireArmGuy]

@alleric357 Yeah Ive heard the same thing.

[alleric357]

@TheFireArmGuy and your the first person I've known too get the 22, so up date later after another 500 rounds to see how she does.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@alleric357 OK good deal bud. I bought it used so thee may be 500 rds through it already. For $115 I couldnt pass it up

[alleric357]

@TheFireArmGuy for $115 I'd pick it up too!

[MyHollowpoint]

The grips change the look of the pistol, looks great.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@MyHollowpoint Thanks bud and for $115 I couldnt pass it up

[Dafarnakis]

This is so similar to my beretta 950 and model 20. Looks really nice my friend

[TheFireArmGuy]

@Dafarnakis Thanks bud and I heard the Beretta is a better gun. Im not surprised but this is a good little shooter

[guns4funca]

One sweet pistol brother. The grips are sure sweet.

[TheFireArmGuy]

@guns4funca Thanks my friend and yes the grips are very cool

[flowingwolfpack]

Good video, I would have prefered the target at the begining was a liberal but it will do :) Great job and keep them coming

[TheFireArmGuy]

@flowingwolfpack Me too but I think he had an AlGore shirt on
