The PT22 is a .22 LR semi-automatic pistol produced by Taurus and features an 8+1 round capacity magazine.

The PT22 is often viewed as a Taurus copy of the Beretta 21 Bobcat due to having a similar "tip up" barrel.

It is one of an increasing variety of Taurus firearms manufactured in Florida, USA.

It has a spur-less hammer, and a long but smooth double action only (DAO) trigger.

Retracting the slide is difficult due to the heavy spring required in this blow-back action.
