Taurus PT22 .22LR 2 1/2" Nickel/Gold, Rosewood grips
[1220035G]
$238.00
by John L Date Added: Monday 03 September, 2012
The service at Bud's was great. I ordered on a Monday and the gun was at the FFL on that Wednesday. I wasn't too happy when I opened the box though. The gun was advertised as a nickel finish, along with the picture provided, so I assumed the entire gun was nickel plated. This was not the case. Only the slide and barrel were nickel plated, the frame of the pistol was a dull matte aluminum finish. The nickel finish on the barrel and slide was also not of very high quality; it was uneven and you could see brush marks from where it had been polished. The magazine for the gun was also crap. It didn't function very well with all 8 rounds in the magazine, but it functions with six pretty well. Also, the magazine doesn't fit very flush with the frame. It takes some effort to get it to "click" into place. I ordered an aftermarket magazine that lacks the large plastic bottom plate in hopes to resolve this problem. Other than all of that, took this gun to the range and it shoots pretty well at the distances it was intended for. The rosewood on the grips and the gold trim are real eye catchers too. A decent gun for the price once you replace the factory magazine.
