Taurus PT22

[Agent Lemon 157]

Anyone own one?

 

I want to know the dimensions of the grip. Length, width, height. A size comparison to a Glock19 would be nice.

 

My Google-fu is not yielding anything other than 1inch width on the grip.

also look up the beretta bobcat/tomcat for specs, it wouldn't be the first time they "borrowed" a design from them

My aunt has one in 25. They don't take the beretta laser grips because they moved the screw or something. Or at least the SS model doesn't.

 

The taurus' trigger is not as nice as the beretta. A little longer and heavier. 

 

I used to want one, but now that there are models like the TCP 738/ Ruger LCP the appeal is gone. .380 with good ammo made for the barrel length >>>>>>> .22LR

And the designs are licensed, not borrowed. 

 

And most of beretta's current designs are based on their 1970s refinements of 1940s and 1950s Walther designs...

And it was a joke

 

And a lot of things are based on a prior design

I've had one for 17 years and carried it for about 6 years.

It's aluminum frame takes a beating from the steel slide, but it still works flawlessly.  

A Kel-Tec P3AT is thinner, lighter, carries 1 less of a far more effective round and is about the same price,

That, and it's easier to rack the slide.

I now carry the P3AT daily.

I'd also add that the p3at and the nicer ruger and taurus guns that borrowed its design are easier to shoot well than the beretta tip up micropistol design.
