Taurus 22TUC Micro-Compact .22 LR Pistol

The Ultimate Carry Gun

Taurus understood something fundamental about personal protection: the best gun is the one you actually carry. The 22TUC embodies this principle perfectly. At just 10 ounces unloaded, this micro-compact .22 LR pistol disappears into pocket or waistband without complaint.

Design That Works

The 22TUC features several thoughtful design elements that set it apart:

• Tip-up barrel design eliminates the need to rack a slide for loading, making it genuinely user-friendly for shooters of all experience levels
• Double-action trigger provides a heavy hammer strike that reliably ignites rimfire ammunition while maintaining a smooth, predictable trigger travel
• Fixed sights with an orange dot front sight keep the design simple and reliable
• 9-round capacity delivers meaningful firepower in a package smaller than most wallets

Built to Last

The 22TUC combines a polymer frame with a stainless steel slide finished in attractive PVD gold. This marriage of materials keeps weight minimal while ensuring durability. The 2.5-inch barrel is rifled 1:10 RH twist for reliable accuracy at defensive distances.
