Accuracy is key in any competitive shooting event, and the Taurus TX22 Competition Slide truly delivers in this department. Equipped with an extended threaded, bull barrel, the TX 22 is crazy accurate.

Optimal Weight and Balance
The Taurus TX22 Competition Slide has been designed with the competitive shooter in mind. Its unique construction boasts a lightweight yet durable design, maintaining the perfect balance between weight and performance. The heavy barrel adds weight to the front of the pistol, essentially eliminating recoil. The slide is cut to be extremely lightweight and minimalist, contributing very little to recoil. As mentioned earlier, the optic is mounted directly to the barrel. This makes placing shots quickly very easy.
