Special Features

• The Viridian RFX-11 3 MOA green dot optic comes factory-installed, giving the shooter an immediate zero-ready aiming solution without requiring additional mounts, adapters, or separate optic purchases.
• The Taurus Optic Ready Option (TORO) slide features a direct-mount footprint compatible with Shield RMSc and Holosun K series optics, so swapping to a preferred aftermarket optic requires no machining or custom work.
• The factory-threaded 3.60-inch barrel with 1/2x28 thread pitch accepts standard 22 LR suppressors and muzzle devices directly, with a thread protector cap included for use when no device is attached.
• The 13-round staggered-column magazine offsets rimmed cartridge rims left and right as they stack, a design that achieves double-stack capacity in a rimfire platform where traditional double-stack geometry is not possible.
• The Taurus Performance Trigger System delivers a short, smooth single-action pull tuned for consistent shot-to-shot break, which helps new shooters develop better trigger discipline without fighting a heavy or gritty pull.
• Two 13-round magazines ship with every pistol, giving the shooter an immediate extra on the bench or in a range bag without a separate accessory purchase.

Practical Benefits

• The compact frame and 16.5-ounce unloaded weight make this pistol comfortable for smaller-framed shooters and new shooters who benefit from a lighter, easier-to-handle platform during extended training sessions.
• The threaded barrel and TORO slide mean you can run this pistol suppressed and with a red dot right out of the box, covering two of the most common upgrade requests in a single factory package.
• The affordable 22 LR chambering keeps range sessions cost-effective, and the manual thumb safety gives instructors and parents a familiar control point when introducing newer shooters to handgun fundamentals.
• Competitive shooters running Steel Challenge or rimfire pistol divisions get a factory-ready, optics-equipped platform that fits the rules and the budget without requiring a custom build.
• Your Taurus TaurusTX 22 Compact (1-TX22131-RD) gives you a factory-complete rimfire setup that a first-time shooter can run on day one and a seasoned competitor can tune for the podium.

Taurus TaurusTX 22 Compact 1-TX22131-RD in 22 LR is a smart addition for rimfire shooters, competition entrants, and new shooter trainers who want a factory-ready optics and suppressor-capable pistol without the custom build price tag.
