Emissary
Taurus had long produced quasi-clones of the Beretta guns with a few of their own small changes in the form of the PT22 and PT25. To build on the PT lineup, Taurus released the 22 TUC.
The 22 TUC comes in stainless and black. It has a polymer frame rather than metal, with G10 grips. That lightens the gun and makes it notably cheaper. The 22 TUC also does away with a DA/SA design and instead uses a simpler double-action-only system. As much as the DA/SA guns of the Beretta series charm me, the DAO design makes more sense.
The 22 TUC weighs 10 ounces unloaded, measures 5 inches overall, and has a barrel length of 2.5 inches. The gun is 1 inch wide and 4.35 inches tall. Overall it’s small, pocketable, and simple.
The 22 TUC: What’s New
The Taurus 22 TUC keeps some of the PT22 DNA, but wisely made a few changes to make the new design a bit more current. It’s easy to describe the 22 TUC as a Beretta 20X or 21A clone, but that’s not exactly accurate either. While they borrow the tip-up DNA, there are some notable changes.The 22 TUC comes in stainless and black. It has a polymer frame rather than metal, with G10 grips.
