Why We’re Stocking This

At Rampartguns, we put our hands on every firearm we sell. When we heard Taurus was releasing a threaded version of the 22TUC, we knew we had to get it on our shelves. This isn’t just another SKU; it’s a direct answer to what a lot of our customers have been asking for—a supremely simple, ultra-lightweight platform they can personalize. The standard 22TUC has been a quiet hit for deep concealment and as a backup gun. Adding a threaded barrel transforms it from a dedicated defensive tool into a fantastically fun and practical range gun or small-game harvester when paired with a suppressor. We believe in tools that serve multiple roles, and this Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option does exactly that without compromising the core simplicity that makes the original so appealing.

We also stock it because we trust the platform. The tip-up barrel design eliminates the need for a ejector rod, making unloading as simple as loading. There are no moon clips to fumble with. It’s a revolver in its most essential, reliable form, built on a modern, lightweight frame. For new shooters, it’s incredibly approachable; for seasoned veterans, it’s a brilliant piece of utilitarian engineering. Having it here means we can show you firsthand how the threads are cut, how the action feels, and why this little Taurus 22TUC punches so far above its weight class.

Who It’s For

• The Ultimate Backup Gun (BUG) Carrier: For the individual who already carries a primary but wants a featherweight, no-snag secondary that can now be suppressed for discreet training.
• The Urban Apartment Dweller: Someone who needs a capable defensive tool but is acutely aware of noise and over-penetration concerns. A suppressed .22 LR from this Taurus 22TUC is a responsible solution.
• The Hiker & Trail Walker: Perfect for slipping into a pack or pocket as a light-weight option for dispatching pests or snakes. The threaded barrel allows for hearing-safe use in the field.
• The New or Recoil-Sensitive Shooter: An ideal first gun or training tool. The double-action-only trigger is consistent, and the lack of recoil builds confidence. Adding a suppressor makes practice sessions even more pleasant.
• The Suppressor Enthusiast: Anyone with a .22 can already knows the joy of quiet shooting. This Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option provides a unique, compact host that’s unlike any pistol or rifle in your collection.
• The “Always Armed” Advocate: The person for whom even a micro 9mm can be too much bulk in certain attire. At 10 ounces, this revolver can be carried in situations where anything else would be left at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What thread pitch is on the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel, and what accessories will fit?

A: The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option features a standard 1/2×28 thread pitch. This is the most common thread for .22 caliber devices in the US. You can directly attach any .22 caliber suppressor, compensator, or thread protector with a 1/2×28 female thread. We recommend a thread protector for carry to keep the threads clean and protected.

Q: Is the Taurus 22TUC still double-action only, and how does the tip-up barrel work with a suppressor attached?

A: Yes, it remains a double-action-only (DAO) revolver. There is no external hammer to cock. The tip-up barrel function is unaffected by the threading. To load or unload, you still press the release and tip the barrel up. If you have a suppressor attached, you simply perform the same action—the suppressor will point upward with the barrel. It’s a very intuitive process.

Q: Can this handle .22 LR ammunition reliably, including high-velocity rounds?

A: The Taurus 22TUC is designed for standard and high-velocity .22 LR rounds. As with any rimfire firearm, reliability is highest with quality ammunition. We’ve found it runs best with copper-plated round nose or solid point ammunition. We advise testing your chosen defensive or practice ammo thoroughly. The revolver platform is inherently less sensitive to ammunition variations than a semi-automatic, which is a key part of its appeal.
