Description
This Taurus PT-22 Poly is a semi-automatic pocket pistol chambered in .22 LR, featuring the manufacturer’s signature tip-up barrel design for easy loading without racking the slide. The pistol is equipped with a 2.25-inch barrel and utilizes a double-action-only (DAO) trigger mechanism. The slide features a two-tone appearance with a stainless steel or nickel finish and distinctive fish-scale pattern rear cocking serrations, while the frame is constructed from durable black polymer with textured grip surfaces. Standard features include a manual thumb safety located on the left side of the frame, fixed blade front and notch rear sights, and a frame-mounted magazine release. Key markings include the Taurus logo and “TAURUS MADE IN USA MIAMI, FL” on the left slide flats, with the serial number 98042Z and a QR code positioned on the frame above the trigger guard. The right side of the slide is engraved with “PT-22” and “CAL. .22 LR”. The pistol is accompanied by one 8-round magazine with a red follower, a Sidekick fabric belt holster, a blue plastic Taurus factory hard case, and a white Taurus branded cloth. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol presents in good used condition. The stainless slide finish shows light surface scuffing and minor scratches consistent with carry and use, though it maintains a bright appearance. The black polymer frame is well-preserved with intact texturing and only minor handling marks. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The double-action-only mechanism appears to function correctly, and the tip-up barrel latch operates smoothly. The included magazine shows standard finish wear on the body. The factory case and fabric holster are in good, functional condition.
