Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option

Description

If you’ve been waiting for a truly lightweight, no-excuses .22 LR revolver you can carry every single day, the new Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option is here. We’ve had our hands on the standard model since it launched, and this new threaded version is the upgrade many of our customers have been asking for. This isn’t a range toy; it’s a purpose-built, American-made micro-compact designed for real-world carry. The addition of a threaded muzzle transforms an already clever little revolver into a platform for personalization, whether that’s adding a suppressor for quiet practice or a compensator for even smoother shooting. At Houston Gun Works, we believe in tools that work without complication, and the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel delivers exactly that.

Why We’re Stocking This

We stock tools, not just guns. When the original Taurus 22TUC hit the market, we were impressed by its sheer practicality. It solved problems—weight, simplicity, ease of loading—that other mouse guns ignore. This new Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option takes that solid foundation and adds the one feature our savvy customers kept requesting. The ability to thread on a suppressor or muzzle device opens up this revolver’s utility immensely. For us, it’s about offering options that make sense. A suppressed .22 LR is one of the most enjoyable and cost-effective ways to train, and now you can do it with a revolver light enough to forget in your pocket. We’re carrying this model because it represents a thoughtful evolution of a proven platform, giving shooters more control over how they use their firearm.

Having handled it in the shop, the build quality is consistent with Taurus’s recent focus on their USA-made lines. The threads are clean and well-cut, the tip-up barrel action is still satisfyingly smooth, and that 10-ounce weight is a game-changer for all-day carry. We believe in this product enough to have it on our shelf and in our own holsters.

Who It’s For

• The Minimalist Carrier: Someone who values absolute comfort and discretion above all else. At 10 ounces, the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel disappears in a pocket or ankle holster.
• The Suppressor Enthusiast: A shooter who wants a dedicated, host-ready .22 LR revolver for quiet backyard plinking or pest control without the cycling issues of a semi-auto.
• The New Shooter Seeking Confidence: An individual who wants the ultimate in operational simplicity—no manual safety to fumble with, no slide to rack, and the easy loading of the tip-up barrel.
• The Seasoned Gun Owner Looking for a “Always” Gun: That backup or deep-concealment option you literally have no excuse not to carry. The threaded barrel adds a layer of versatility for when it’s not on duty.
• The Trail Companion: A hiker, rancher, or camper who needs a reliable, lightweight tool for dispatching small pests. The threaded option allows for hearing-safe use when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the thread pitch on the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel?

A: The Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel uses the standard 1/2×28 thread pitch, which is the most common size for .22 caliber muzzle devices and suppressors in the United States. This means a huge variety of off-the-shelf accessories will be compatible.

Q: Does the tip-up barrel design work with the threaded model?

A: Absolutely. The genius of the Taurus 22TUC platform is intact. You simply press the release and tip the barrel up to load and unload the cylinder directly, bypassing the need to swing the cylinder out. This works perfectly with the threaded barrel, though you’ll want to remove any muzzle device before tipping it up to avoid potential clearance issues.

Q: Is the Taurus 22TUC Threaded Barrel Option still double-action only?

A: Yes. The Taurus 22TUC remains a double-action-only (DAO) revolver. There is no external hammer to cock, making it ideal for snag-free drawing from a pocket or deep concealment. The trigger pull is a consistent, deliberate stroke that contributes to its safety and simplicity.
