 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at the new Torus TX-22. I saw this at shot, I checked it out, I walked away very much impressed. It offers some features that are very different than your average .22 long rifle handgun. So we're going to get into that, but I have to say after taking it to the range, I put about four mags through it. I'm going to do a range review shortly. I think that Torus has little rockstar on their hands with this TX-22. It offers quite a bit and it's not too expensive either. The MSRP is $349. I'm seeing it all over Gunbroker. This is out and available right now for right around $300. Maybe a little bit more. We'll see where that price settles into being that it is a new release. But a couple things that I find very advantageous is that it does come with two 16 round magazines, which is pretty good. You look at the Walther P22 or the Ruger SR-22, those come with mags that hold 10 rounds. This holds 16 rounds, so that's always an advantage. It comes with two two magazines there. Another thing that makes it unique is that it is a striker fired handgun. So it does have a striker assembly in there opposed to the hammer fire, which pretty much dominates the .22 long rifle market. This is a striker fired handgun and it is single action. So we'll take a look at that. This gun is clear. I measure it right at four and a half pounds. It's a single action striker fired handgun that I measure right at four and a half pounds. The Torus website says right around five pounds. You know it was pretty consistent at four and a half pounds. And what's also interesting is that this is the trigger shoe. The metal piece inside is the trigger. They consider this just the shoe, but for all intents and purposes we'll just call that the trigger. But it's a very short pull, very short reset as well. A fairly quick shooter is what I learned right away. Another advantageous feature that I find is the grip. It's very ergonomical. Kind of reminds me of an HK, which I think has some of the best ergos in the handgun market. This feels excellent. Full three-finger contact. We'll go ahead and put that mag in there. Full three-finger contact and not an overly aggressive texturing, but sort of like a light grit sandpaper. It actually feels really nice. It does have front serrations, a accessory rail, pinned in front dot, adjustable rear sights. Pretty nice setup. The one part that I like is that it does come with a threaded barrel. Now this is the extension that it came with in the box. I put that on because I do plan to shoot this suppressed. And I also plan to shoot a variety of types of .22 long rifle through this to check out the reliability. But you know after putting a few mags through it at the range yesterday, I think it's pretty nice. It does have a thumb safety there. Just sweep down and for those who enjoy that, you are good to go. It is ambidextrous as well. Another thing that makes this unique, and you can see that there are quite a few, is the disassembly process. So here we'll go ahead and show clear once again. This is like nothing I've ever seen before. I'm going to pull the slide back, take these take down levers right there. We'll go ahead and pull the trigger and oh there we go. All right off comes the slide. Now this is a polymer frame. All right and the slide itself is anodized aluminum. And we'll go ahead and screw off these threads here to get the barrel out. 4.1 inch barrel and there it is. It does come with a cap. I put that back in the case. I'm just going to keep it with the threads on there because I think that suppress shooting this will be a ton of fun. But really and you can see that it's a captured recoil spring and guide rod. And check out this reassemble. It's it's so simple. It's unbelievable. Put it in like that. All right just pull back on it and you're good to go. I did not demonstrate the disassemble too well so I'm going to to do that again. We're just going to pull down there pull the trigger and just like that. All right so that that's a little better anyways and the reassemble is right there. I'll go ahead and put this back on because I do dig that and I will be shooting this suppress with my Hunter Town Guardian suppressor. 16 rounds. Taurus says it weighs in unloaded at 17.3 ounces. I haven't weighed it yet so we're going to do that now. We'll first move it to just ounces and we'll see 16 and an 8. Put an empty mag your unloaded mag in there 17 and three quarters. Now let's put 16 rounds. That's a CCI 19 and 5 8 ounces is what we're looking fully loaded with 16 rounds. Nice setup. I think the the way the slide looks the way that kind of cuts in there it does have the angled serrations both front and rear adjustable rear dots easy disassemble single action striker fire trigger and the ergos of this. I really think Taurus has a rock star here and I look forward to getting this to the range and doing a full range review with a variety of types of ammo to give you a better idea of how well this feed fires and ejects. But I have to say so far I'm pretty impressed and I have high expectations in the future. If you like videos like this please subscribe and share.
