Update on the TX22, they found that the slide release spring was too light and just outside of tolerances. They replaced it with a stiffer spring. This solved the issue and the gun runs perfectly now. Best 22 there is by far.
I would not mind having one. I just want to handle one a bit first. I may have to head to the LGS to check them out in person. I'd want the no manual safety version.
Buck Shot Sporting Goods in New Castle had a used one for $199 when I was there on Saturday.

When I handled one awhile back at the LGS, it reminded me of the SW MP Compact that I had and loved till it got replaced by heavier, and for me, more accurate pistols.
I have an S&W MP 22 Compact as well. If this were an S&W I'd already have one. I'd prefer the Tx22 because it is truly striker fired (not internal hammer like the M&P), is available without a manual safety (to better mimic my other striker fired pistols) and due to capacity of the mags.
I may need to make an LGS run to handle one of these soon.
If you do buy one, let us know if it feels much different than the MP Compact (I didn't fire one, only caressed), and if it is anymore accurate for you at 30'-40'.
I'm still not going out to buy one (if I remain strong) b/c I do love a heavy gun, no matter what the caliber.
I read that it really excels at shooting steel.
Palmetto State has them for $259.99, with free shipping. So with Taurus' $50 rebate only $10 more for a new gun.
