Oh, cool!
Still not quite the old warranty, though.

Another TX22 Sample Point
Got my new Taurus TX22 to the range this week, and must say I am truly impressed. I was really not expecting this level of performance from any $300 22lr plinker, especially a Taurus.
I fired over 450 rounds, with four types of ammo with ZERO issues. Every magazine was loaded to its full 16 rounds capacity, and all ammo fed, fired, and ejected without fail. The slide locked also functioned properly on every empty mag. The sights are fine for its intended purpose and the trigger is truly exceptional. I also like the size and feel of the gun more so than my S&W 22 compact and Ruger SR22.
Out of the box with no sight adjustments 5 mags (80 rds) CCI Mini-mags:
100 rounds @ about 1/sec, mixed CCI, Blazer, Aguila & Federal Bulk pack):
100 Federal bulk (as fast as I could get away with under the range rules):
Overall a nice reliable, cheap to shoot gun with a great trigger and easy take down, what's not to like?

Don't be too impressed, these were all fired from the 7 yard line. There are three reasons for this;
1. I shoot for relaxation and fun. Fifteen and 25 yard groups require concentration and effort, and I don't need the stress.
2. There's not a room in my house over 7 yards.
3. At my age and physical condition, if I could walk over 7 yards to change targets, I'd take up golf.

I took my new TX22 to the range yesterday for it's inaugural tryout. I took Winchester, Mini Mag and Stinger ammo, all of which fed and fired just fine. Nice trigger. I shot at 25 feet with similar results to Rangegod. Nice gun... I enjoyed it. Mags are easy to load by hand to the full 16 rounds. I didn't use the loader supplied with the gun.
Takedown and cleanup was quick and easy. I came to appreciate the grip texture. The shape and feel are excellent. Count me as pleasantly pleased.

Second Range Trip
Put another 350 rounds through the TX22 this morning without a single issue. I used four magazines, the originals plus two I ordered from Taurus, to feed 300 rounds of Federal bulk pack and 50 rounds of Aguila. This brings the total round count to just over 800 with zero failures. Not bad for any rimfire in my book.
