Why We're Stocking This

We decided to bring the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel into our inventory because it fills a specific and growing niche that our customers care about. We've seen a steady interest in practical, carry-oriented .22 LR firearms, especially from those who want the absolute minimum weight on their belt or in their pocket. The standard 22TUC already won people over with its tip-up barrel—no moon clips, no speed loaders, just drop in eight rounds and go. Adding the threaded barrel option takes that simple concept and expands it. Now, a shooter can have a supremely quiet plinking setup for the farm, or a dedicated small-game getter that's hearing-safe. We believe in tools that offer multiple uses, and this Taurus model does exactly that without compromising its core mission as a deep-concealment revolver.

Furthermore, we trust the platform. Having handled and shot the original 22TUC, we can vouch for its straightforward reliability with quality ammunition. The fact that it's made right here in the USA in Taurus's Georgia facility is a point of pride for us and for many of our buyers. We're stocking the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel because it's a sensible evolution of a proven design, giving you more options without adding complexity or bulk.

Who It's For

• The Ultralight Everyday Carrier: Someone who prioritizes comfort and concealment above all else and wants a no-excuse .22 LR option that literally disappears in a pocket or ankle holster.
• The Suppressor Enthusiast: A shooter looking for a dedicated, host-ready .22 LR revolver that doesn't require gunsmithing. The 1/2x28 threads are ready for your can day one.
• The Recreational Plinker: Anyone who wants a fun, inexpensive-to-shoot, and uniquely simple revolver for casual range time. The tip-up barrel makes loading and unloading a breeze.
• The Small Game Hunter: A hunter needing a quiet, lightweight, and precise tool for harvesting squirrels or rabbits, especially when paired with subsonic ammunition and a suppressor.
• The Backup Gun (BUG) Advocate: The individual seeking a supremely lightweight and reliable secondary firearm. The double-action-only trigger provides a consistent pull every time.
• The New Shooter Seeking Simplicity: Someone intimidated by semi-automatic operation who values the absolute mechanical simplicity of a revolver, especially one as easy to load as the 22TUC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel come with a thread protector?

A: Yes, it does. The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel ships from the factory with a thread protector installed, so you can carry and shoot it safely without a suppressor attached. It screws on securely to protect those important threads.

Q: Is the tip-up barrel feature sturdy? Does it affect lockup or accuracy?

A: In our hands-on experience, the tip-up mechanism on the Taurus 22TUC is robust and locks up tight. It's designed for loading convenience, not as a repeating breaking action. For a 2-inch barrel revolver designed for close-range use, its lockup is more than sufficient and we have not seen any accuracy issues inherent to the design. It's a feature, not a compromise.

Q: What kind of holster will fit the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel model?

A: The dimensions are identical to the standard Taurus 22TUC except for the threaded muzzle. Most pocket holsters and generic small revolver holsters designed for the standard model will work perfectly. For a dedicated holster that accounts for the slightly extended threaded portion, we recommend a soft pocket holster or a custom kydex maker. We can point you in the right direction when you pick up your gun.
