From Taurus
If you compete in the Steel Challenge Shooting Association matches, you’ll want to take a close look at the new Taurus TX22 Competition SCR. Even if leisurely shooting is more your style, there’s still a lot to like in this innovative semi-auto .22 LR pistol with striking looks.
The Taurus TX22 Competition SCR builds on the company’s original TX22 Competition model with a precision engineered slide, match-grade bull barrel and “skeletonized” slide. Its enlarged ejection port allows red-dot optic mounting to the barrel and to help prevent any issue during ejection of empty shells. The mounting configuration significantly enhances accuracy potential when compared to a slide-mounted optic platform. Two adapter plates each featuring two mounting patterns are included to interface the leading red dot sights on the market today with the barrel.
Two additional factory upgrades further elevate the pistol’s credentials. The first is the TANDEMKROSS Game Changer Pro Squared Compensator. This included compensator features dual 45-degree-angle gas venting to counter muzzle rise and recoil for quicker follow-up shots. The compensator also helps improve overall gun balance that, combined with the muzzle rise and recoil mitigation, keeps the gun “in the zone” for lightning quick target re-acquisition in fast-paced competition.
Another upgrade found exclusively on the TX22 Competition SCR is a TANDEMKROSS Eagle’s Talon extractor. This custom extractor’s precision-machined out of tool steel, positive hook provides a reliable “grab” on the cartridge rim to reduce and eliminate failure-to-eject malfunctions during high-volume cycling.
