One of the guns I recently got in for testing is the Taurux TX22.

I was drawn to it by the decent to good reviews I saw and that it is a 16+1 capacity and had an option for a threaded barrel.  Yes yes, sorry Jersey folks!

Have about 200 or so rounds through the gun right now of various ammo, Winchester and Federal bulk packs, CCI mini mags and Remington Standard velocity.  

Really awesome and no problems hitting steel at 25 yards or so.

The big thing for me however is that it is a "standard size" plastic fantastic pistol and has a really nice trigger.

All of that for under $300!  

Not sure of the long term longevity but so far... am quite impressed.

Let me know if you want to check it out and I figure the video will be out in a month or so.

Can you get a standard TX22 and some 10rd mags (assume the standard 16rd mags never made it to NJ) and be legal?  I see that it has a threaded option.  Can you just not use the external threaded collar with 10rd mags and be legal?

Yes they have 10 round options.

Threaded barrel version is legal as well.

Thanks.  I saw that they have 10 round versions, but finding them is difficult.  Most are standard 16rd versions.  Was thinking of purchasing a 16rd version, and not have the 16rd mags shipped to NJ.  Then purchase some 10rd mags for it.   

My concern was if the threaded barrel on the pistol was legal in NJ.

I don't know where you are looking but there definitely should be versions with 10 round mags available

Try GunBroker or talk to your local FFL

If you do get the version with the 16 round ask your FFL if he can block them for you before you take possession

I am pretty sure my guy would do that for me

BTW, threaded barrel is allowed no problem

I love mine - accurate, feels great in your hand and reliable. Added a stainless guide rod from Galloway on the standard version, then got lucky and was able to get the competition upgrade when Taurus had them in stock. The optic not cycling with the slide is a nice feature and was a good way to save some $$$.

      Does anyone know of a company that makes night sights for the Taurus PT809, or a company that makes a compatible alternative?

      So what's the skinny on Taurus firearms?
       
      The reviews I've read/heard about Taurus run the gambit. I've heard people say they're junk, I've heard others say they're "decent for what they are" and I've even heard people RAVE about them. Some of these strong advocates have said things like Taurus bought the old Beretta factory in Brazil and kept the same workers on, and cite this as a reason for the PT92 being such a good clone of the 92Fs (not to mention, I've seen people prefer the PT92 because the safety is frame-mounted instead of slide-mounted).
       
      I heard something similar about Taurus and Smith&Wesson being owned by the same parent company, with people saying the Taurus clones of S&W revolvers are supposed to be excellent. 
       
      Can anyone speak to the truthiness levels of these rumors? How have your personal experiences with Taurus guns been?

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
