Description:
Here is a great little takeoff on the Beretta model 21, the Taurus PT-22 Pistol chambered to hold 8 + 1 rounds of .22 Long Rifle ammunition. It is full time double action, yet it has a positive lock side safety. For added security, this Taurus is equipped with a Magazine Safety, meaning that it cannot be fired even with a live round in the barrel and the main safety off, not until the magazine is re-inserted. An added safety feature is the Beretta type tip-up barrel that allows easy loading and unloading without racking the slide, something many of our fellow boomers are no longer able to do anyway with the onset of Arthur – itis, that is. Add the light weight, 13.5 ounces empty, and a person has one of the best small autos you can buy. Manufacturer is Forjas Taurus, S.A., of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Importer and warrantor is Taurus International of Miami. Construction is steel slide, barrel, internal parts, .235 smooth faced combat trigger and matching bobbed hammer. Frame is semi gloss black anodized alloy, and Guns America shoppers will please excuse the absence of a category for alloy framed Taurus Pistols. Slide finish is non-glare matte blue; and frame finish is durable satin nickel. This Duo Tone variant, as Taurus calls it, makes for the most attractive pistol in the PT22 series. Caliber is .22 Long Rifle High Speed; magazine capacity is 8 + 1 rounds, and grips are contoured Gray laminate. These factory order number 1-220031BBN, PT-22 Duo Taurus pistols are as scarce as any other pistol nowadays; and they are reliable as any. We recently had an occasion to cycle a clip full of the hyper velocity Aguila Super Max ammo through one of this pistol's mates, and it functioned flawlessly right out of the box. This specimen comes from a civilian collection in New England. From its APK serial number prefix, it was manufactured in 1996. Surface detractions are moderate, with finish freckling to the slide, toning to the frame, and moderate scouring on the grip panels. We rate it as Good, perhaps Very Good, 75 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean, and magazine is brand new factory Taurus. Replacement pricing on the parent Beretta 21, if a person can even find one, approaches $500 many times. We’re offering this serviceable, well balanced, attractive New England Taurus PT22 in the photos, however for only $ 179.00.
