A common theme for 2026 is suppressors. It makes sense. Never has it been easier, quicker, and cheaper to acquire one. But it’s not just the suppressors that are doing well; it’s everything else surrounding them. The gear, accessories, and, of course, the guns to go along with them.
Every manufacturer seems to be updating their entire product catalog to grow with the suppressor movement. For many, including me, nothing beats suppressing a .22 rimfire. It’s probably the most fun you can have! Taurus must also think so because they’ve released a threaded barrel version of the 22TUC.

FEATURES
Taurus USA has expanded its micro-compact lineup with the 22TUC Threaded Barrel, adding versatility to an already purpose-driven .22 LR platform. Weighing just 10 ounces, this Made in the USA pistol is built for easy carry and straightforward operation.
This pistol is anchored by its tip-up barrel design, which enables easy loading without racking the slide. The double-action trigger, reminiscent of a defensive revolver, delivers a smooth, consistent pull with reliable rimfire ignition. With a threaded barrel, the 22TUC now supports suppressor use, enabling greater customization while maintaining its familiar handling characteristics.
A polymer frame reinforced with stainless-steel inserts keeps weight low without sacrificing durability, while the fixed front sight and 9+1 capacity emphasize simplicity and practicality. Compact, highly concealable, and easy to operate, the 22TUC Threaded Barrel stays true to its original intent—ready when you need it, without complication.
ZOOMING OUT
For a suppressor host, this could be fun. Because it’s a tipping barrel with minimal slide mass, I expect it’ll be pretty quiet. Overall, I find that this fits in with current consumer trends and needs. And hey, it’s made in the USA—always a good thing.
