Customer Reviews for Taurus PT-22 22 Long Rifle Rimfire Pistol

This little piece belongs to the Queen of the house and she loves it. It’s not a 300 yard accurate pistol, but it’s not designed to be. It’s accurate enough and feels decently full in the hand. It’s easy for the wife to operate and handle with no problem. The nonexistent recoil is what she loves the most and, it’s better to tote this little guy deeply some, or even as a primary, than to be left throwing rocks. Thanks to Buds Gun Shop for an excellent experience and always superior service.

Ordered on a whim. I like the PT-22 but the gun is too heavy for such a small caliber (.22LR). I also did not like the trigger - way too stout. Taurus can do better.

Fun little pinker. Very reliable and affordable. Great price! Thanks Buds

Nice little semiauto fun to shoot well made ammo cheap for this gun!

Noisy cricket! Will chirp you down! Lol! Grab one from buds today! Thanks buds

I love this little Up Close and Personal Conceal & Carry 22. Small but easy to conceal and shoot. I used Bud's Layaway that allows me to get the guns I want. Order shipped and received quickly. I would recommend this Taurus PT-22.

I love taurus... but this, is one of the worst pistol I ever shot, not malfunctions but the trigger...

Got this little guy for lady friend had feed issues sent back and still didn't like what i was feeding it found it likes 40 gr round nose transferred to her

Price and shipping were very good as always from Buds. The product which Buds did not build did not live up to even the lowest of expectations. As I’m surely not the only one giving the Taurus pt22 a poor review. It’s been back to Taurus twice and still not even able to get through one magazine without one or usually more malfunctions. I would not recommend anyone purchase this pistol until Taurus resolves the many problems with its current format.

Thank You Buds Gunshop for the Fast Shipping, Gun is excellent, High-quality material. The price is the best in the market.

Finally made it to the range this afternoon... Just did an over all function test.. Put 5 1/2 mags thru it... About 50 rounds... 1 Failure to fire.. was not a gun issue.. Bad spot on the primer. I turned the round in the chamber... Fired just fine. Do some research.. Out of the box these are NOT very reliable.. Watch some videos that will help you get things going right. Mainly I think its a Mag issue. Not too loud. Very long trigger pull so will take some practicing. Price was right...Small/pocket 22's are nice to have around.. At best this is a 30 foot gun.. but I think it's going to take a great of practice to get to that point.. at least with my level of skill. As always, Buds order processing and shipping was excellent.

Terrible gun jammed a lot. Do not buy.

Fantastic for such a compact and easy to use semi-automatic. The only problem is that it doesn't like certain rounds. Just have to work it in and find the right round. The slide likes to jam when ejecting. Other than random jams it is a fun easy to use semi-automatic.

I wanted a pistol that had a manual safety, was reliable, low cost, and fit in my top shirt pocket. The PLY22 fit the bill- nothing else did. I researched dozens of pistols and once I settled on the PLY22 I watched every youtube video on the gun and read all the comments and read all the forums talking about the gun. I decided most of the negative views of the gun came from users failing to use the gun properly. I have shot 300 rounds. In the second magazine shot, there was one failure to eject. I was probably limp wristing it and had my hand in the way of the slide. I used CCI minimags and made sure the gun was always clean. The slide is almost impossible for me to rack. I assumed other users had been exaggerating how hard it was. It did loosen up a little. A few people reported the pistol began firing automatically which is scary if true. However, so many people I saw who complained about the gun were admitting the gun was dirty, or they were using the wrong ammo or cheap bulk ammo. I have not had another pistol easier to take apart and clean or more fun to shoot. The fact it can fit in my top shirt pocket makes me even more happy. I wish it had a threaded barrel or the ability to install a laser. By the way, I did a detailed video review of the little guy on my YouTube channel at Robb's Homemade life and did a playlist of videos on the gun too. 18 reasons I bought a Taurus PLY22 Pistol & 10 bad ones not to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=824HOIdc4Nw The pistol did not have any shortcomings I did not know about before buying so I give it 5 stars

Great pistol nicely finished put 300 rounds thought it with only one problem I think it was the ammo. Using Federal bulk lead 40 grain.
I like the conceal ability put in a good pocket holster easy to forget you have it. Wish I could buy some mags for it not available anywhere on the web.
I think it has to do with the high demand. Buds as always delivered in Pristine condition as always fast!

5 star for buds always, quick shipping.. 3 stars for the gun itself bought for my wife and she thinks its ok took it to the range ran about 100 rounds through it failed to feed about 4 or 5 times its accurate up close up to like 20-25 yards other than that not really accurate. She cant really cock it back to load it im.guessing cause its still fairly new so she has to load it using the barrel spring. Nice lookin finish on the gun though. Not too bad. Could be more accurate though. Just my opinion of the gun

This my second Taurus I have purchased. I bought one for my wife and then the second one for my daughter. The Tip Down barrel is what makes it easy to load,rack, shoot and clean. Working with Buds and my local dealer made the process very good.

When I received this hand gun I went to the shooting range the same day.
The gun kept jamming. The first three.magazines I shot the gun jammed four times. After further investigation a saw a pin was coming out of the slide. I returned it to Taurus for repair.

Ordered the Taurus PT22 form Buds and was shipped in 4 days to my local dealer. Buds is great, however, this PT22 is highly dangerous to shoot! Took it to the range first time and I could not pull trigger back to fire it after putting 1 round in the flip up barrel and 7 in the magazine. My son tried also countless times unloading and reloading according to the manual. Still could not fire! Then we took off the slide and checked internals and replaced . Still could not pull the trigger to fire. We were certain to have the safety in the red fire position also.
Finally we tried one more time and the gun fired....oh, yes did it !!!! Emptied the 1 in the barrel plus fed the 7 in the magazine in rapid automatic mode!!! 8 shots in less than 1 second. My son wished he had this gun in Iraq. We always maintain safety at the range and it was pointed at the target!!!!
To sum it up... I brought it home and took it apart again and added a little lubrication and put it all back together. It is dry firing as it should but I will have to follow up after I return to the range and give you any updates.
Use this gun very carefully and would not advise to buy!!!

I'm surprised that so many people have rated this pistol highly. I want to like it, but after trying three types of ammo, I can't get more than 2-3 rounds through it without some type of jam, failure to feed, failure to eject, misfeed, etc. It's dangerous. I'm looking forward to trading it in. I recommend you put a few more bucks in and go with one of Bud's other fine choices!

This little Taurus auto is fun to shoot. If you have a hard time charging any automatic, than this pistol is right for you. Tipping the barrel up and loading a round in the gun takes not power at all, once loaded, it will shoot automatically after that. Great little pistol.

Its picky on ammo. It likes to jam alot.

Dangerous! Loaded about five rounds in magazine, pulled slide back and released and the pistol slam fired. Thankfully the the first round jammed and it didn’t continue to fire. Finally got the slide opened and empty cartridge out. Appears the extractor hitting the cartridge. Tried loading one shell by breaking barrel but was unable to close barrel after loading. Attempted once more to chamber round with slide and once again it slam fired. Taurus has had back for a week now, was told to expect 4 week wait. Hold time to get through to Taurus about an hour.

After reading the reviews on this little gun I decided to do a review. This little thing is very dangerous. I couldn’t get a magazine through it without it jamming. Then it started to double tap. I pulled the slide back and let lose it fired good thing I had it pointed down range. I took it cleaned it up real good went to shoot again it did pretty good for one mag then it started all over again. Tried to contact Taurus but they would not answer. Buyer beware of this little gun.

Great little weapon. I'm no expert by any means, so remember that please. But, I purchased this a backup home defense weapon and immediately fell in love with it the first time I fired it! Of course all guns are lethal, but if you miss, this weapon will likely scare the intruder too death as well! The magazine doesn't hold that many rounds, so but extra clips to keep on hand, otherwise, a wonderful little pistol.
