Manufacturer: Taurus Type: Pistol Model: PT-22 Caliber: .22LR Barrel Length: 2.8" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes  Log: 2497 S/N: 19323Z Ref #: N/A Notes: The Taurus PT-22 is a compact, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed for concealed carry and recreational shooting. Manufactured in the United States by Taurus, this pocket-sized handgun features a blowback action and a unique tip-up barrel design, allowing for easy loading without the need to rack the slide—an advantage for shooters with limited hand strength. This example, serial number 19323Z, was produced in the late 20th to early 21st century, aligning with Taurus’ continued production of the PT-22 series. It features a 2.8-inch barrel, an overall length of approximately 5 inches, and a weight of around 11 ounces unloaded, making it an exceptionally lightweight and easily concealable firearm. The frame is constructed from aluminum alloy, while the slide is made of steel, providing durability without excessive weight. Standard fixed sights offer a basic yet effective aiming solution for close-range engagements. Chambered in .22 LR, the PT-22 operates with a single-action/double-action trigger mechanism and utilizes a 9-round magazine. Muzzle velocity varies depending on ammunition, typically ranging between 900 to 1,200 feet per second. While not intended for high-powered defensive use, its low recoil and ease of operation make it a practical choice for casual target shooting or as a backup firearm. This example is in good condition, exhibiting signs of use but retaining its functional integrity. The action operates properly, and all mechanical components function as intended. As a small and reliable pistol with a user-friendly design, the Taurus PT-22 remains a popular choice among those seeking a compact rimfire handgun for training, recreational shooting, or deep-concealment carry.
