Two Calibers—One Platform​

Both caliber options share a common frame. You can buy a complete pistol in either caliber and later buy a separate slide and barrel assembly in the other caliber; but, it is less expensive to buy the complete .22 WMR and 5.7 package at the start.

Ballestically these calibers are quite similar in performance when fired from a pistol. .22 WMR can overlap the better end of .22 LR performance and the lower end of 5.7 performance.

The author found the felt recoil of .22 WMR and 5.7 to be very similar. This is quite significant. It means you can practice with comparatively inexpensive rimfire .22 WMR (which costs around the same as 9mm) and carry the TXM in balletically superior and more reliable centerfire 5.7x28mm.

My interest will definitely be influenced by MSRP. The TX-22 I have has proven to be pretty good, but more of a "B-B+" than an "A".

The threaded barrel combo would be useful if it's not overpriced.

hmmm.. Maybe, but, seems a bit large for the loading, would have to see it in person.
