Did u have to get any special license for can?
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I'm in the US. So I had to file out a Form 4 and submit it to the ATF. Once it was approved I took possession of the can. At the time I filled this one I had to pay an extra $200 for the tax stamp. That $200 isn't applied any more, but still have to do the extra paper work and wait for it to be approved.

I m in us too Thanks gotcha I m looking to get my first suppressed handgun
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
Just be aware that suppressed .22s you will get a bunch of unburnt powder and hot junk hit you in the face. So keep some good eye pro around
Gun_Monger@reddit
Are these difficult to find now?
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I haven't seen a TX22 in a store in what seems like 2 years. Once the frt came out everyone wanted one. LGS The I found mine at said he hasn't been able to keep one in stock more than 2 days. The magazines on the other hand got discontinued like 10 years ago. You can find them on gun broker but they are close to or over $100
ours@reddit
Leave some for the rest of us.
The only one I managed to find was like twice the list price. And my LGS contacted the distributor and told me to forget about getting a new one.

The shop I got it from had 2 more, and he can ship to an FFL near you. Lol I don't think it was a bad deal, got 3 16 round mags, 2 22 round mags, and that reddot for $449.

Burned twice by Taurus. Can't bring myself to trust them again. Hope it treats you well though.

I used to crap on Taurus, but it seems they made a diamond in the ruff with this gen tx22. Mine is very pleasant to shoot and I haven’t seen a malfunction yet but still breaking it in(300ish rounds). It also helps to keep the price in mind. Picked up my t.o.r.o with 5 mags and an included green dot up for $380 shipped over Black Friday, even if it had some issues that’s a solid deal in my book for a fun lil plinker

Just picked one up myself. Immediately ordered the frt and got it installed it today. The plan is to shoot it this weekend but I'm still waiting on the 34rd mags.
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
That's awesome. Can't wait to get my feet put in.
Personal-Tower7300@reddit
I went with the LakelineLLC frt. Costs a little more but i heard it's more reliable then the freedom fingers and so far with a function check it seems to be working.
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I just sent a file to send cut send, they cnc for you and just ship you back the product. Needs to be fit because it's too wide currently. I'll see how it goes and if it ends up being crappy I'll just pick one up. Only cost me 20 bucks and I've got multiple.
Personal-Tower7300@reddit
Oh word ima check them out. Its smallest piece of metal shouldn't cost too much. Might as well order like 100 of them as back ups
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I sent you a message
Own-Particular6321@reddit
Whatcha think of it so far? I just got burned on a "new" aka fucked Taurus 856 so maybe it'll convince me Taurus doesn't suck.
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I just shot it and it's pleasant. Pretty quiet with the can. I am going to drop a frt in it. I know Taurus gets a ton of here but most people like the TX22. Still want the competition version. Sucks the 856 didn't work for you, I've got one that has been good. Got a TORO 605, and an older 85. Haven't had any problems with them either
HamFart69@reddit
The TX22 with frt is so much fun. It’s ridiculously fast.
Own-Particular6321@reddit
I had a GC2 like 5+ years ago when I was broke and delivering pizza and I loved it for how cheap it was. I'm thinking I just snagged a lemon but that's the way she goes with budget guns.
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
Yeah I've heard good things about the gx lines, but haven't seen one in person.
Quw10@reddit
My dad has a competition, I've got a full size standard model, and a buddy has a compact and a full size, my dads has been ran pretty hard and is starting to have issues but I've been running mine with a can in steel challenges and other then ammo related issues it's been my favorite 22 so far.
Ninja_Grizzly1122@reddit
Story time. I got a TX-22 a few years ago. A couple months after buying it, I took my brother and his wife to the local indoor range while they were in town. It ran like a champ, but a few mags in; I had a random .22LR brass hit the range bay wall that rebounded right back into my collar. It left a bullet hickey on my neck that lasted for a few weeks.
Theworker82@reddit
Taurus has had some issues for sure but they knocked it out of the park with the TX22. I have a ridiculously high round count on my first gen with no issues at all
shmiddleedee@reddit
As far as I know the tx22 is basically taurus only solid gun. I don't own one but my buddy does and it is a great little gun. Their other firearms are garbage.
Own-Particular6321@reddit
Yea I managed 2 whole rounds of .38 wadcutter through my 856 and the yoke screw sheared itself clean of the receiver. It'd be NBD if the yoke screw assembly wasn't unobtainium.
shmiddleedee@reddit
That would be a big deal either way. 2 rounds ain't shit, especially for a part that should last thousands of rounds
Own-Particular6321@reddit
It was secondhand that I got cheap off of an old bubba. Still pissed me off to no end.
CapableSecretary8478@reddit
I have a tx22 and it’s been phenomenal. I seriously love that little pistol
Cashbum@reddit
Its crazy how quick it'll eat a magazine with the frt
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
Yeah I'll probably end up getting a macmount mag. He makes a couple different sizes one being a 60round
Impossible-Heart-216@reddit
Frt it and keep posting
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
That's the plan. I sent some some files to send cutscend and just need to fit them to it. I've had them for awhile, while I was looking for the gun to put them in. Lol
Impossible-Heart-216@reddit
I’m so jealous man enjoy
Excellent_Mall8819@reddit
I have the standard and the compact, both great guns!
Ecstatic-Elephant-30@reddit (OP)
I am still looking for a competition. I just like the way the reddot mounts to it.
