Overview

The Taurus 22TUC threaded barrel variant is purpose-built for shooters who require integrated suppressor compatibility without sacrificing the lightweight handling characteristics of a .22 LR pistol. The 3.5-inch threaded barrel features a standard 1/2×28 thread pattern, allowing direct attachment of most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. This model retains the proven 22TUC platform architecture, including a polymer frame with an ergonomic grip angle, a crisp single-action trigger, and a fiber-optic front sight for rapid target acquisition. The threaded barrel option expands the pistol’s utility for pest control, plinking, and tactical training scenarios where sound signature reduction is beneficial.
