TAURUS 1-2TX22P141-RD TX22 G2 22 LR BLK 4″ BBL W/ OPTIC

TAURUS 1-2TX22P141-RD TX22 G2 22 LR BLK 4″ BBL W/ OPTIC

The Taurus TX22 G2 in .22 LR features a 4″ barrel, the Taurus Performance Trigger System for superior control, enhanced iron sights, a MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail, and a threaded barrel for suppressor use. This model includes a Viridian RFX-11 Green Dot sight and two magazines (16 & 22 rounds) for optimal performance and customization.

The TAURUS 1-2TX22P141-RD TX22 G2 .22 LR, 4″ barrel, optic, 16- & 22-round magazines appears to be a retailer/SKU description for the Gen 2/full-size Taurus TX22 T.O.R.O. family. There is a small naming issue: Taurus’s published specifications for the optic-ready full-size model identify item 1-2TX22P141, with a 4.60-inch barrel, rather than exactly 4.00 inches.

Key specifications

Taurus’s documentation lists the TX22 platform at 22/16/10-round capacities, while the T.O.R.O. version specifically adds the optics-ready slide and 22-round magazine configuration.

Optic system

The T.O.R.O. designation means Taurus Optic Ready Option. The full-size T.O.R.O. uses the Shield RMSc footprint, allowing compatible micro red-dot sights to mount directly to the slide with the appropriate mounting arrangement.

That’s an important distinction from the older standard TX22. The original full-size TX22 had conventional fixed/adjustable sights but wasn’t the same factory optic-ready configuration. Taurus subsequently expanded the TX22 family with optic-ready variants.

Barrel

The T.O.R.O. specification reported for 1-2TX22P141 is 4.60 inches, with a threaded barrel.

That’s worth checking against the listing you have because the description you supplied says “4” BBL.” There are multiple TX22 generations/configurations, and Taurus’s older standard TX22 was offered with a 4.1-inch barrel.

So I would not assume the “4-inch” retailer description is the exact factory specification without seeing the UPC/model marking.

Magazines

This package is notable because it combines:

The T.O.R.O. model’s published specifications specifically identify 22 rounds and two magazines, and contemporary documentation confirms the 22-round magazine was introduced with the updated TX22 configuration.

The TX22 platform has also existed in 10-round, 16-round and 22-round configurations, so magazine capacity can vary by model and jurisdiction.

Trigger

The TX22 uses Taurus’s Performance Trigger System (PTS). Taurus describes the TX22 as a single-action pistol, while the Gen 2 manual identifies the trigger, trigger shoe, trigger bar, sear and related striker components in the fire-control system.

One thing to distinguish from the Wilson Combat WCP320 you asked about earlier: the TX22 is not an Action-Tuned Wilson/Grayguns system. Its trigger is Taurus’s factory PTS system.

Slide and reliability-oriented design

The TX22 design uses a lightweight aluminum slide and a relatively light .22 LR operating system. The newer TX22 configurations incorporate slide-lightening cuts, particularly useful when an optic is mounted because reducing reciprocating slide mass helps maintain the intended operating characteristics. Taurus specifically highlights this design feature on its TX22 line.

The TX22 also has:

Trigger

The TX22 uses Taurus’s Performance Trigger System (PTS). Taurus describes the TX22 as a single-action pistol, while the Gen 2 manual identifies the trigger, trigger shoe, trigger bar, sear and related striker components in the fire-control system.

Slide and reliability-oriented design

The TX22 also has:

• Striker block safety

• Trigger safety

• Manual safety on certain configurations

• External slide catch

• Takedown lever

• Accessory rail

The exact presence of the manual safety should be verified on the particular SKU.

Grip and ergonomics

The full-size TX22 has a polymer frame with an ergonomic grip intended to give it a centerfire-pistol-like feel while keeping the pistol very light.

For comparison, Taurus’s published figures for the older 4.1-inch standard TX22 were approximately 17.3 oz unloaded, with a 7.06-inch overall length and 5.44-inch height.

That light weight is one of the defining characteristics of the TX22 platform.

Important distinction: TX22 Gen 2 vs. TX22 Competition

These are easy to confuse.

TX22 full-size/T.O.R.O.

• 4.60-inch barrel on the T.O.R.O. specification

• Full-size polymer frame

• RMSc-compatible optic system

• 16/22-round magazine configuration

• Picatinny rail

• Threaded barrel

TX22 Competition

The Competition model is a different configuration, with a 5.25-inch barrel, larger overall dimensions and a different optic-oriented slide/barrel arrangement. Taurus’s catalog lists the Competition at about 23 oz and 8.15 inches overall.

So if the listing you’re looking at says “G2” + “T.O.R.O.” + 16/22 magazines, it is much more consistent with the updated full-size TX22 than the Competition model.

What the SKU tells us

The most useful part of your description is:

1-2TX22P141-RD

Taurus’s published documentation identifies 1-2TX22P141 as the TX22 T.O.R.O. configuration. A contemporary specification listing gives:

• Item: 1-2TX22P141

• .22 LR

• 22-round capacity

• 4.60-inch barrel

• 7.06-inch overall length

• 5.44-inch height

• 1.25-inch width

• Fixed white-dot front

• Drift-adjustable rear

• T.O.R.O. optics system

• Picatinny rail

• Threaded barrel

The “-RD” suffix in your retailer’s SKU may refer to the particular optic/package supplied by that retailer rather than changing the basic firearm model. I wouldn’t identify the exact optic solely from that suffix.
