Same love absolutely love tx22 the trigger is one of the best triggers I have felt I wish they would have that set up on a 9 mm

Bought the Tx22 Compact for the kids/wife. Put the PA classic red dot on it, Cycles flawlessly even with the added weight to the slide. Usually run federal copper hollow points through it (its the boxes i can find at walmart). Been a fun little gun to teach the kids firearm safety and how to manipulate the controls. all the while having to manipulate a safety. its a great little gun.

Taurus killed it with the TX22. I wish they would come out with a high cap sub gun in 22lr using the TX22 action.

Thanks for taking the time and the expense to test these pistols with different brands of ammo. Agreed, CCI Mini-Mags are my choice for competitive shooting. Aguila is next, however, haveing to deal with their waxy finish keeps me cleaning the magazines. If I were in the market for a new hand gun, the Taurus TX 22 is first on my list.

I just traded a tandemized Ruger Mark IV 22/45 for a TX22 compact. After 275 rounds through the Taurus....I have no regrets

I have a Taurus TX 22 which is very reliable and has 2 16 rd. magazines. My next handgun, of course , will be the TX 22 Compact with the ability to hold 13 or 16 rds, and optics ready for these old eyes. Taurus wins in my opinion !!!!!

Great video man! That was fun, I'm going to watch some more of your channel now. Thank you so much for your time!

Great editing. Great video, Thank you

Bought a Sig P322 a few months back after watching and reading several positive reviews. Wish I had seen this video before buying. Finally got a chance to go out and shoot it a few days ago. Shot three different brands of ammo and experienced three light strikes with one brand, which I initially chalked up to bad ammo. The biggest issue however was magazine feeding issues that occurred every few shots. The mags are difficult to load properly, especially while out in the field. Ammo has a tendency to lay flat, point downward, or not stack properly, all of which will cause a failure. Despite using care in loading them and trying several different ways to load them I could not overcome this. It was frustrating and time consuming.

I have a KelTec P17. For me it falls short of TX22 and TX22 Compact as well as the SR22 and SW MP22 Compact. These four are outstanding 22lrs. I like the light weight, grip, trigger BUT it is more ammo picky and the slide as designed can make it hard to clear a failure to eject a round in the chamber or if hung under the slide. When all goes well it is fun to shoot but do not consider it as dependable as the other four I mentioned because of the ammo pickiness AND how it can wedge a partially ejected round underneath its slide. By the way, also found some barely visible pin dots of rust in an area under the slide which I promply addressed. Owners might want to look carefully underneath the slide when cleaning so can address this potential issue if it were to show up.

Taurus is underrated

That was a great video! I was shocked at the results, especially since I like the Sig trigger over the Glock trigger.

In my dozen 22lr handguns I have found that NONE of them have a problem with Aquila Super Extra round nose or hollow point so it surprised me the the P322 had trouble with it in this review. Also i have viewed a number of ammo reviews that consider it as a close second to the Cci Mini Mags. Of course the proof is in the pudding so every must follow their individual experience with their particular guns. Also, in my opinion guns really should be able to fire other ammunition than Cci mini mags. While I do realized that particular guns might perform better with one ammo version over another. I have tested each one of my guns with a half dozen or moe ammo brands with Cci as a premium brand first by default and in every case Aquila is a close 2nd, and identify at least two others that run well also. Therefore, i guess each gun has its own "Ammo Profile". If my gun is used for self defense it of course is loaded with Cci or Aquila or a Specialty Ammo such as Federal Punch or Winchester Silver Tip (I also "qualify" the speciality load for that gun as well.)

Just bought the tx22 for wife/range toy. Great buy for the money.

I bought a Sig p322 when they first came out 2 years. Initially, it was a great gun. Did not have the barrel leading issues that many people reported. It recently started doing light primer strikes. A local gunsmith got it running again. Will see how long that lasts. Thinking about replacing it with a TX22.

I bought a P322. Mine didn't work worth a fuck. Shit loads of FTF and FTE. I sent it back to the factory. Now, it only jams about twice-three times a magazine. That was with Remington Golden bullets, Winchester Super X, Federal Automatic Match, CCI Minimags, and Aguila. Even after the trip to the factory, my P322 won't feed any kind of hollow point. So, pardon me if I think any glowing review of a Sig is nothing but hype. Also, doing any type of IA drill with the Sig requires locking the mag to the rear first because you can't rip the mag and it won't drop if you have a FTF. BTW, your channel is the only one that shows the Sig having problems.

I got both tx22 an the compact. Love them . An pro mag makes a 21 round mag for them just a fyi.

TX22 compact for the win

I recently purchased the Sig P322 hoping I would end up with a good one after a lot of negative reviews. Mine was made in Jan 2023 so I knew I had a better chance with some of the changes they had made and knowing a few friends who have the 'newer generation' were having no issues. All I can say is that this pistol has become my number one 22LR pistol beating my TX22 competition in every way. It has had 0 FTF, 0 FTE, 0 light primer strkes running with suppressor for the first 1000 rounds. It shoots MUCH more accurately (grapefruit size groups standing at 25 yards) than my TX22. The groups with the TX22 at 25 yards open up quite a bit more. Running holoson 407k on Sig and Vortex Venom on TX22. Both guns are equally as reliable and has eaten everything I tried which include Aguila HV copper RN 1255 fps, Norma Tac 22 1100 fps, Federal American Eagle 970 fps, CCI SV 1070 fps, and CCI Quiet 835 fps. Only time I had light primer strikes with both was when I ran the CCI quiet 835 fps without suppressor (out of 20, maybe 2 wouldn't cycle). This pistol is awesome!

My Sig P322 has been flawless so far. I don’t own the Taurus so I know nothing about it other than what I see on youtube. I do own a S&W 22 Compact and it will run any ammo I have put in it. If the Smith Compact had as high of a capacity as the Sig it would be my favorite, but I do like the 20 + 1 of the Sig(less loading and more fun. I have the Keltec P17 with only a few rounds through it, but so far so good. My over all favorite for accuracy, which I squirrel hunt with is a Ruger MK 1 Target, from the 60’s. It shoots as accurate as most rifles.

Bought a used Taurus 605 in 97,kind of poor quality then trigger pivot pin broke(was part of frame). Sent it to Taurus they replaced whole gun with new one,could see and feel difference in quality,trigger,ported and grips. That was 20 years ago,they keep improving.

You done a great job and was just wondering why you didn't use a Ruger 22/45.

Hey good buddy I have a question Why are you so close to the camera? If possible move back a few feet when shooting thanks.

TX22 for me.

Have a keltec p17, tx compact, walther p22 and like them all

I have all three, my TX22 is not the compact though and all of them have had issues of one sort or another, the Sig is very dependent on the way you load the magazine but I use Aguila ammo and I haven't experienced the light primer strikes, it does get rimlocked pretty easily. The Taurus has been fine but it also has a definite failure rate depending on the ability of the shooter to not limp wrist. The G44 I almost sold off a couple times, it was such a disappointment, but like others here after a few bricks of CCI it runs well. None of them run as well as the old humble Ruger SR22 pistol which is nuts to me, My SR22 was a trade procurement so I have no idea of actual round count, the slides are a little beat up but it has easily been through three times the rounds of the rest, I had to replace the takedown lever pretty early but since that one part it has never had issues and it was easily the least expensive of the bunch.

The SR22 is a fine rimfire pistol but unfortunately probably more expensive then the three mentioned in this video these days. Last I checked I could get the three mentioned in the video for between $300-$350 while the SR22 runs $400

I would have liked to see the groupings on each gun

cant wait for tx22 compact to be allowed in MA

When you load the Sig P322 magazine there is a trick to the feed issue. When you load the rounds you must always put the next round in on top of the rim under it or the round could flip up. Think of it like a mini staircase going up, looking from the rear of the magazine looking in. This could be a Sig magazine issue.

TX22.....and it's not even close. Best semi auto 22 on the market

Any feedback with regard to the amount of slide spring tension of the sig P322? Is it as easy to rack as LR22 or the others in this video?

My sig p322 had light primer strikes just as bad as 9 mil ridge. I saw a video where the guy shimmed his hammer spring. I did the same thing and the light primer strikes completely went away. Used a 2.8 mm shim. Problem completely went away. Did not affect trigger pull weight. Steel cycles standard velocity ammo. You can literally see the deeper strikes on each fired round.

Clocks are like Toyotas. There are always someone making aftermarket parts for them, so a suppressor ready barrel should not be a problem.

My Sig P322 is one of the most fun shooters I’ve owned in 50 years of handgunning. Highly recommended.

On my sig p322 had a 500rnd break in. New out the box I had every malfunction with most ammo. For the light primer strikes, I took the fire control group out and added a shim under the hammer spring wich fix that issue. The failure to feed or eject came from the ammo not being seated right in the magazine, that issue was fixed by actually loading the mags to 24rnds instead of the 20. With that being said, I've ran my sig p322 over 4000rnds of everything I can find without a single hiccup. From the last cleaning it's had 2000rnds without any lube and it ran flawless.

Taurus TX22 is the winner, just as I expected. I have a TX22 regular and a competition. They both work very well with CCI standard velocity. A strange thing about all my 22LR pistols -- for a long time they all worked well with all kinds of ammo. But then suddenly all of them started to have cycling problems with almost all kinds of ammo: Aguila, Eley, and Federal, no matter what the velocity was. I just don't understand why there was the sudden change. So I started to try different ammo. Now CCI standard velocity is the only subsonic ammo that works with all my 22LR pistols.
