Taurus TX22
Taurus TX22
Taurus cracked the code: an American-made pistol chambered for .22 LR that retails for less than $300. With a crisp, positive trigger break and equally cooperative trigger reset, it is easy to run through the 16-round magazine either during a serious training session for a comparably sized pistol or just informal plinking.

MSRP: $349
