Chambered in .22 LR, this pistol combines a compact frame with a factory-threaded barrel, allowing for direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices without the need for aftermarket modifications. The 22TUC platform is built on a reliable blowback action, ensuring consistent cycling with a wide range of standard and high-velocity ammunition.

Overview

The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel is a semi-automatic pistol designed for shooters who prioritize a compact form factor without sacrificing barrel length for suppressor compatibility. The factory-threaded barrel is a key differentiator in this model, providing a 1/2×28 thread pitch that accommodates most popular rimfire suppressors. The pistol features a 3.75-inch barrel, a 12-round magazine capacity, and an overall length of 6.75 inches. The 22TUC operates via a simple blowback system, which contributes to its reliability and ease of maintenance. The slide is constructed from aluminum alloy with a matte black finish, while the frame integrates an accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers. The sights are fixed, with a white dot front and a serrated rear, offering a clear sight picture for rapid target engagement.
