Why We’re Stocking This

We handle every gun that comes through our shop, and the original Taurus 22TUC impressed us with its sheer practicality. The new Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option addresses the one thing we heard from customers: “I wish I could quiet it down.” The 1/2×28 threading is the industry standard, opening up a world of rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices without needing an adapter. This addition transforms the gun. Pair it with a can, and you have an incredibly discreet, hearing-safe package perfect for pest control or low-profile training. The genius tip-up barrel design remains, making loading and unloading a one-handed operation and eliminating the need to swing out a cylinder—a huge plus for those with limited hand strength. We’re stocking the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel because it’s a logical, user-driven evolution of a solid platform.

Frankly, in a market full of complex semi-autos, the simplicity of this revolver is a breath of fresh air. There’s no slide to rack, no magazine to fumble with, and virtually no chance of a limp-wrist malfunction. It’s point-and-click simple. The 10-ounce weight means you’ll forget it’s on your belt or in your pocket, and the .22 LR chambering offers manageable recoil for nearly anyone. For our customers seeking a dedicated “always there” gun or a superb introductory firearm, this threaded Taurus 22TUC is now at the top of our recommendation list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What thread pitch is on the barrel, and what accessories will fit?

A: The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option features a 1/2×28 thread pitch, which is the absolute standard for .22 caliber muzzle devices in the U.S. Virtually every .22 LR suppressor on the market and many rimfire compensators will direct-thread right onto it without any adapters needed.

Q: Does the tip-up barrel design affect the strength or safety compared to a traditional swing-out cylinder?

A: Not from an operational safety standpoint. The Taurus 22TUC uses a modern transfer bar safety system, just like a quality swing-out cylinder revolver. The firing pin only contacts the primer when the trigger is fully pulled to the rear. The tip-up mechanism is robust and provides the significant advantage of easy loading and unloading, especially for those who find manipulating a cylinder release difficult.

Q: Is the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option still double-action only?

A: Yes, it remains a double-action only (DAO) revolver. There is no external hammer to cock, which is a key part of its snag-free, simple design. Every shot requires the same full, deliberate trigger pull. This enhances safety for a carry gun and simplifies the manual of arms—just point and pull the trigger.
