The 22TUC from Taurus USA is the ultimate expression of ,have a gun., An extremely lightweight 22 LR, the 22TUC takes advantage of advances in 22 LR terminal ballistics to deliver a CCW option that is user-friendly, easy to shoot, and, most importantly, a gun you can carry effortlessly. Features like the tip-up barrel make the 22TUC easy to load, entirely eliminating the need to rack the slide. The double-action trigger, similar to a defensive revolver, provides a heavy enough hammer strike to guarantee ignition with rimfire ammo while remaining smooth throughout its entire travel. This model is a commemorative edition celebrating the 250th anniversary of the USA.
