Seems pretty cool. Cheaper and more svelte than the KelTec CP33, and optics ready unlike the M&P 22 or Glock 44.

It has a Beretta 92 look with an open slide design.
I read on another forum that they will be selling the top end so existing customers can build this as well.
Not to mention that it’s a 16 round magazine that +5 basepads are available for.
Seems like a good low cost training alternative for action pistol.
I've been able to tickle a standard model.
I actually want one. And it takes a lot to impress me with a handgun these days.
I'll go sit in the corner now.
Not gonna lie...I kind of want one.
Anyone have any first hand experience yet?
Not with the production ones, but with a preproduction/engineering models just over a year ago (I was working with Taurus at the time). The ones I shot ran like wood chippers and they were a blast to shoot, you could burn through a couple hundred rounds in no time. At minimum, I'll be getting a conversion kit for one of my TX22s if not getting a full up competition model. I don't remember the stoppage percentages, but they were looooooowwwww (and I wasn't taking it easy on them). Compared to other .22s I had tested reliability on, it was at the top of the heap.
The open slide came into play to keep the slide weight the same as the standard 4" TX22. Adding the dot to the standard slide would have negatively affected the reliability of the gun (especially with all the different MRDS weights and variability in .22LR ammunition between subsonic, standard velocity, high velocity, etc.). The only thing to watch out for is that if you run it wet and/or suppressed you can dirty up an the optic fairly quickly. And, yes, conversion kits for the TX22s on the market were planned to be a thing from the get go.
