  4. New: Taurus TX22 Compact 13+1 .22 LR Pistol


On Monday, Taurus made the announcement they had a new, smaller version of the well-liked TX22 rimfire semi-auto pistol ready for the market. 

The palm-sized TX22 Compact follows in the footsteps of the standard and competition models of the pistol with a flush-fitting 13+1 round magazine (10 rounds in restricted states) as well as an optic-ready cut that is compatible with the slimline Holosun K footprint. The sights are the same standard Glock pattern as used on the Taurus G3 and GX4 series.

The footprint is common for subcompact guns, using the same Shield RMSc/RMS/RMSw/SMS pattern that works across the Holosun 407/507K, SIG Romeo Zero, and JP JPoint Optic footprints. (Photo: Paul Petersen/Guns.com)

Taurus plans to release the TX22 Compact in both 10- and 13+1 round variants, with and without an installed Riton optic. The MSRP is $399 for standard models, bumping up to $469 for the Riton-included models.
