I fondled one for the first time yesterday, and the trigger was exceptional and grip ergonomics superb for my hands. I have a fetish for 22 handguns and have far more than I "need." But I am tempted to add one of these to my accumulation.
My only reservation: is the gun accurate? If not, it really adds nothing that I do not already have in the M&P Compact 22 (mag capacity aside).
So, does anyone have any personal, first-hand experience to report on the accuracy potential of the Taurus TX22?

Return time is usually way less than what they commit to.
That's the old food delivery concept. Tell the customer 45 mins, get there in 35 and they're happy, tell them 30, get there in the same 35 and they're not so happy.

If the TX is such a hot seller why are they now offering a $50 rebate?
I have sent mine back twice for bad barrel rifling....and evidently many others have too. I got a call about 2 weeks ago from Taurus CS on the second bad barrel saying they have a manufacturer that will have new in-spec barrels available in 6 to 8 weeks. They offered me 2 choices...they'd put in another barrel from their old stock and send it back now and when the new barrels become available send it to me or they would hang onto my gun until the new barrels become available and then send it out.
I would not buy a current TX sight unseen...inspect the barrel carefully first.
So I'm asking myself...is the $50 rebate a way to clear out old stock making way for a manufacturing run with the new barrels ???
both barrels had rifling like this

original barrel also had chamber cut off center

Now I have to inspect my barrel to see if my TX22 has a bore like that.
If it shoots ok does it matter?
yep. think youre maybe on to something there, on that rebate. mine isnt anywhere that bad but it aint pretty either. accuracy isnt bad though on mine for what it is. im talking tin can targets at 10 to 15 yards not shooting bullets through holes from last bullet kinda accuracy.If the TX is such a hot seller why are they now offering a $50 rebate?

I have an Armscor M200 that's wonderfully accurate, except after a couple cylinders of lead ammunition. The rifling is rough, nearly like those in the image provided by rws_53. It will lead like no one's business and begin to keyhole in short order.
With jacketed ammunition, there's never a problem.
Being that .22LR is waxed lead or copper wash, it would give me pause to proceed with a lengthy session if my bore looks the same. This would be especially concerning if using this pistol to take someone new to firearms to the range to plink. I can imagine the frustration of becoming less and less proficient with every shot, not aware it's the pistol and not them.
I do tend to do a fairly comprehensive look-over whenever I receive a new firearm. I would think I would have noticed that but I plan to look again.
here's my TX22 leaded up and a pile of lead after cleaning it out
