Taurus PT22 Poly 22LR Rimfire Pistol (Cosmetic Blemishes)

The PT22 Poly has been redesigned with sleek new lines and a polymer frame – weighing in at a mere 10.8 ounces. The PT22 also features a blowback action and tip-up barrel for safety and convenience during loading and chambering the first round. If light and fast is your priority, the PT22 Poly is the pistol for you.

The PT22 is a  22 LR semi-automatic pistol produced by Taurus and features an 8+1 round capacity magazine. The PT22 is often viewed as a Taurus copy of the Beretta 21 Bobcat due to having a similar “tip up” barrel.

Taurus PT-22: A 2 Minute Review and Explainer – While the last three Taurus firearms I have reviewed have been mostly positive, my history with their products hasn’t always been pretty. I think Taurus is making a much better name for itself with recent releases like the GX-4, but I wanted to look at some of its older firearms.

This time, I chose the PT22. I picked this because I just recently gave their newest .22 caliber pistol, the TX-22, a pretty glowing review.
