I read somewhere that Navy Seals were using them for clandestine operations.I seen some of our Special Forces had Ruger Mk ? They had a suppressor on it and an rds.
My understanding was they use it to shoot out lights and at times take out enemies in certain situations with it.
Taurus sells a standard top end to mount to your competition TX22 lower, usually out of stock but if you jump on one when available you can swap top ends in about 10 seconds. $150.Watched the Lucky Gunner video at lunch today.
I'm in a little bit of a conundrum. I would like something close to my Compact, so the standard TX22 with a red dot would mimic it better. But I like the idea of the Competition model purely from a performance standpoint. I'm thinking Taurus did that for a reason and part of the reason could be decreased reliability with slide mounted optics.
But then again, I'm mostly buying it to have a manual of arms closer to my Compact than my Ruger MKII. Plus, my wife will like the mag and slide release operations better than the Ruger.
I'm rather impatient with malfunctioning firearms..

Mine was a brand new firearm. I was the first owner. Factory screwed it upI've heard of people doing that on them and on barrel nut threads. I'm just the opposite when I put a barrel on it gets grease, as does my muzzle devices.
Had one. It was reliable for the most part, but had two glaring issues.I’ve read most of the post and didn’t see that the ruger sr22 didn’t show up.. I have one and have had zero issues. Bought one for my son and same results. Don’t have more than 250 rounds thru it yet but it is fine in her hands.. accurate and dependable
I agree had an SR22 also. I gave it to my niece. She liked it.Had one. It was reliable for the most part, but had two glaring issues.
1. The trigger was terrible. Absolutely horrendous. I bought it to teach my kids handgun fundamentals, but the trigger was so bad that it was next to impossible to teach good trigger control, and my son quickly graduated to center-fire guns that were easier for him to shoot accurately, even with the increased recoil.
2. There was something goofy with the extractor cut in the barrel, and it wouldn't extract live rounds. Being blowback, it extracted and ejected just fine when firing, but if you wanted to clear a live round from the gun, it wouldn't do it. Not a good thing when you're using it as a teaching tool for kids and other new shooters.
The SR-22 went away when I got my MkII, and I haven't regretted that one bit. I actually just spent some range time with the MkII the other day in conjunction with a P250-22 that I picked up from a member here. I'm still amazed at how reliable and accurate that thing is. The P250 had a few hiccups...it feeds fine but had a few light strikes...but the MkII managed to ignite everything from the same box with 100% consistency. Ruger worked some magic on that design.
Have had a couple. Not on par with tx22 as far as accuracy. Have always ran fine. Fun plinkersI watched a review Sooch(sp?) did on the Walther PPQ 22. He seemed to like it.
Anyone on here have one?
I still like the TX22 but I'd like it a bit more traditional with the optic mounted back near the rear of the slide.
But not a big deal. What I don't want is malfunctions because I added a dot.
I have one of those. Works nicely. It goes about 1 1/4 inch down the barrel. Use a snap cap, and laser target set up.Along with range practice, there's this
