Taurus TX22 .22 LR 16-Round Factory OEM Pistol Magazine - 358-0017-01
Product Description
Rimfire semi-automatic pistols are notoriously sensitive to magazine geometry, where even a fraction of a millimeter of deviation can cause frustrating feeding issues. The Taurus TX22 has earned a reputation for centerfire-like reliability, but maintaining that flawless performance requires factory-spec tolerances. This official Taurus TX22 16-round OEM magazine eliminates the guesswork, nose-dives, and cycling hiccups often introduced by third-party alternatives, ensuring your rimfire platform runs exactly as intended.
Engineered from heavy-duty, impact-resistant black polymer, this factory magazine balances minimal weight with rugged field durability. Inside the housing, a premium high-tensile steel wire spring drives a low-friction polymer follower, providing uniform upward pressure from the first round down to the sixteenth. To save your thumbs during high-volume range sessions, the exterior body features integrated dual-sided loading assist buttons, letting you effortlessly depress the follower pull-tabs to drop cartridges in cleanly.
Designed for a seamless, drop-free release, this magazine locks firmly into full-size, competition, and compact TX22 models alike. The flush-fit baseplate features a textured pattern that integrates cleanly with the pistol's grip ergonomics, serving as an intuitive point of contact for lightning-fast reloads. Whether you are running speed drills on steel plates, introducing a new shooter to the sport, or maintaining a packed range bag for weekend plinking, these genuine factory magazines deliver the consistent feeding necessary for uninterrupted trigger time.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance: .22 LR ammunition is inherently dirty, leaving behind excessive carbon, bullet wax, and lead shavings. To maintain peak feeding reliability, routinely disassemble your magazines by depressing the floorplate locking tab, sliding the baseplate off, and wiping down the inner channel and spring with a dry brush or rag. Avoid using heavy oils or wet lubricants inside the magazine body, as they attract rimfire fouling and cause sluggish follower tracking. While optimized for full-size variants, this magazine is fully cross-compatible with the TX22 Compact, though it will extend slightly below the base of the short magwell.
