The 22TUC from Taurus USA is a lightweight compact handgun that takes advantage of developments in .22LR terminal ballistics to deliver a user-friendly CCW option that is easy to shoot and effortless to carry. I can already hear you guys, “But Darwin, .22LR isn’t an effective defensive round.” I know, I know, but some people still carry pocket pistols, and the best gun in an emergency is the one you have on you.
