The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel represents a specialized evolution in rimfire pistol design. Engineered for shooters who demand reduced report and enhanced accuracy, this model combines the proven reliability of the 22TUC platform with the tactical versatility of a factory-threaded barrel. Whether you are a suppressor enthusiast, a pest control specialist, or a competitive shooter seeking a low-recoil training tool, the taurus 22tuc threaded barrel configuration delivers a purpose-built solution without aftermarket modification.

Overview

The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 LR, featuring a 3.6-inch barrel with factory-installed 1/2×28 threads. This allows for direct attachment of standard rimfire suppressors or compensators. The polymer frame incorporates an ergonomic grip texture and a Picatinny accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers. With a double-action-only trigger system and a 16-round magazine capacity, this pistol balances safety with firepower. The taurus 22tuc threaded barrel variant distinguishes itself by offering a ready-to-suppress platform straight from the manufacturer, eliminating the need for custom threading or adapter costs.
