Nice pistol accurate functions well

I bought this for my wife. She has trouble with her arthritis in her hands so pulling back a slide in most auto handguns is very difficult for her, but with this gun you just push a button and the barrel pops up. Drop in a round, push it back down and you are ready to fire. No problem for her. She loves it. Easy to carry concealed too.

This pocket pistol is a very handy weapon for older folks like myself that no longer have the grip required to operate the slide. Tilt the barrel, place a round in the chamber, snap it closed, take aim, and pull the double action trigger. From that point on, its a conventional semi-automatic. And yes, it is my carry pistol. When on my hip, there is a round in the chamber with the safety on. The only caveat is, it really does not like hollow-points. They tend to jam on the ramp from the magazine. Solid point copper jackets work best.

Buds service was great, fast delivery, no problems. The Taurus 22Ply was not so great. It is a good size, with a grip large enough to handle easily. The tilt barrel makes operating the gun easier, no racking the slide needed. I could never get the gun to shoot a full magazine without it jamming. After 3 trips to the range,
I finally sold the gun to a pawn shop. I'm tempted to try another one, but have since bought the Ruger LCP 22 lite rack from Buds. It has been much more reliable.

Hi, sorry it took so long to write a review, I received my pistol at a local pawn shop without any issues. The first couple of times at the range I had several failure to loads....I tried a couple of different brands of bullets, and the hollow points seemed to be the problem. When I switched to round points, especially CCI I had zero issues and put maybe 400 rounds thru it. I saw another review where the customer tried only loading 7 rounds in the magazine instead of 8, and that worked for him. Good luck.

Super awesome little gun! .22lr are fun to shoot at the range and dirt cheap. This is a well made piece with a great grip. I have larger hands and this fits extremely well. Cant beat the price or the speedy shipping either! This is my 6th purchase from Bud's and will not be my last.

So many problems I do not know where to start, so I will not. Please, do yourself a great favor and stay away from this gun.

This gun is a lot of fun to shoot. The first 50 rounds had about 15 failures to feed, but by the 200th round it ran flawlessly. It is comfortable to hold and I got a full grip. The grip has a soft texture, not hard metal that can hurt from recoil. Accuracy at the distances I practice 3 to 6 yards was good. Not having to rack a slide to chamber the first round was a big plus for me. I have been using CCI mini-mags hollow point and round nose and both fed flawlessly. The Federal Champion 22 ammo which was low power that I use successfully in my rifle, would not cycle the slide. I purchased a second magazine as the first one had the sides pinched in a little and was difficult to load. The second mag works perfectly. I highly recommend this gun.

Cool little gun. My 4th Taurus. Great treatment and service with Bud's.

I have owned a few of these 22 Poly handguns. I really do like these guns, but you have to shoot 40 grain bullets out of it, don't try to be cheap. I mostly use CCI 40 grain Mini mags. My Taurus 22 Poly is more accurate than my 380 pocket handguns.

Received in new condition. This has got to be the best mouse pocket gun I've ever carried and a great Beretta clone without the high price.

Love this .22 pistol! Fits my hand perfectly, it's small, lightweight, easily concealable, and super easy to operate! The best is the flip-up barrel to load the first bullet, so no more difficulties operating a firearm with arthritic hands!

first of all buds did a great job on my purchase great fast shipping this my third pistol from buds good job now for the review on the pistol had it one week and had to send it back to Taurus. Tried to shoot the little piece of junk at the range the next day after i got it .took it home and .clean it then went back to the range same as the first day. wouldn't shoot, mag would fall out ,hammer wouldn't strike the firing pin hard enough to fire the ammo. if you buy the pt22 make sure you buy the lifetime warrant from buds' you are going to need it [.Put a few more dollars with the 200.and buy a ruger]

I purchased this firearm from Buds. The price was great and description was spot on! I fired 150 rounds without a single complication. Fits great in my hand and the tip up barrel is pretty neat. 22 ammo is cheap so this make a great firearm for enjoying some range time. I would highly recommend buying this model or anything from Buds! In fact I have 4 more handguns on layaway! That's another great feature Buds offer!

First I do need to say, purchasing this item thru Bud's went flawlessly. But the product itself..Not so good. As i write this review, this firearm is on it's way back to the manufraicure. Would not function properly. Never even able to fire a complete magazine. At one point, I fired off one round, pulled the trigger for the second round, the barrel popped up and slide disengaged went flying, so after picking up all the pieces, I decided I was sending back to Taurus. I am hoping what comes back will be in better working order.

I purchased the Taurus 22PLY, originally as a gun to train with, as it was cheaper ammo. Mostly it was to be a fun gun. While I've enjoyed it, having put nearly 3000 rounds through it, the 22PLY has had problems. It has been back to Taurus for repair twice, attempting to fix the FTF and FTE issues that are common, regardless of quality of ammo. In hind sight, it wasn't my best purchase decision. To be fair, Taurus has stood by their warranty, no even charging shipping either time. However, final judgement will be reserved when I get it back for the second time. Regardless, experience with this Taurus is why I ultimately purchase a S&W M&P Compact 22, to become my trainer (review also posted).

Get one, so far is a great pocket gun. Taurus is coming up in the world and products equal or surpass major gun makers.

22 Ply Pro's Easy purchase through Buds online. Price was cheap. The handgun was very accurate Con's Light primer strike on several different types of high viol. rounds. Further investigation the firing pin was striking at the 6 o'clock light. The Mag. seemed to have issues as well. Had to return the weapon to Buds. Buds extended warranty all I had to do was fill out a couple of forms and Buds has sent the weapon back to the Taurus. I know I could have sent the weapon back but I work days and when you receive a weapon through FedX or UPS you have to have someone sign for it. Would I purchase this weapon again. NO I would purchase the Beretta double action 22 which the Taurus is a copy.

This is one sweet pistol. I bought this for my wife because it's a little hard for her to rack most slides. Cheap plinking and hardly any recoil. Would recommend to buy.

Fun little gun. Has been great for point and shoot practice. Fits very well in a Sticky holster for pocket or in the waist band carry.

I'm certainly not a gun snob because my wallet or common sense won't allow it. This is my sixth Taurus and it performs equally as well as the other five I currently own. A few drops of oil and a quick wipe down then off to the range with very good results using a variety of 22lr ammo. I put at least 100 rounds though this neat little pistol without a hitch and I used at least four different manufacturers 22lr ammo. Great value, great carry for a hot day in jeans and tee shirt and don't let the 22lr caliber fool you, this pistol is a nice CCW and fun to shoot at the range. Buds had it to me in three days and at an unbeatable price, looking at the two-tone version now...Thanks Taurus and thanks Buds!!!

Where does one even start looking for magazines for this gun?

You can call the Taurus Poly pt22 a pocket gun, a mouse gun or a belly gun. Whatever, it is a tiny little gun! But despite its size it fits my big hands perfectly. Out of the box the quality and workmanship are as expected, no complaints. Although a second magazine would have been nice. One day after picking up this little pistol from my local FFL, I was on the range. First impressions, uh-oh! The first two rounds of CCI Mini-Mags failed to feed. The magazine held the rounds so tight, the slide couldn't strip and feed. Making no adjustments, the next four rounds cycled normally until the next FTF. With a whole of patience, and working my way through more than 50 rounds, this little pistol was finally cycling normally. Whew! After more than 100 rounds my trigger finger had enough. The trigger pull is going to take some getting used too. Out of the box this pistol is really tight. I'm hoping that over time it will loosen up. I am amazed at the accuracy of this little gun, considering its tiny sights. At 7yds & 10yds (without even trying) I was able to put over 100 rounds within the 9-10x ring of a standard silhouette target. I would rate this little gun at 4.5 out of 5, primarily because of the lack of a second magazine, the length of the trigger pull and poundage of the trigger pull.

After having shot 200 rds of rem. bulk, fed. bulk, win. bulk and cci mini mag, all 36grn. The trigger is long and hard. This wouldn't be so much an issue but the trigger is so narrow that it actually will cause a good deal of discomfort. I suppose it's not a real life problem as this is a pocket defense gun. The grip is large and comfortable. The tip-up barrel makes loading much easier than racking the tiny slide. The magazine has a strong spring. Loading it would be much easier if there were a tab or button of some sort to pull the follower down to drop the bullets into the well. You can hook a thumbnail on a little fastener and pull the spring down but ideal it is not. Very difficult to feed the bullets otherwise. My wife did almost all of the shooting. She loves the pistol. She was able to get very nice groups at 15 and 21 feet. The gun performed well. There was one failure to feed with the rem. bulk. Otherwise it didn't miss a beat. Has a short reset and it will fire at a fast pace.You have to keep count of the rounds you shoot because the slide will not lock back and you end up dry firing the last attempt. It's not something I would want for myself. But I bought it for my wife and she likes it and will carry it due to its small size. And I believe it can be trusted.
