The Taurus TXM brings a fresh twist to the popular TX pistol family, building on the familiar design of the TX22 with two exciting chambering options: .22 WMR and 5.7x28mm. Designed for shooters who appreciate the comfortable ergonomics and straightforward handling of the TX platform, the TXM takes things a step further with higher-velocity cartridges, increased versatility, and a few clever features that set it apart from the original.
One of the biggest highlights of the Taurus TXM is its interchangeable upper system. By swapping the slide assembly and magazine, shooters can switch between .22 WMR and 5.7x28mm while using the same frame. The .22 WMR version offers a 15-round standard magazine, while the 5.7x28mm model steps up to 23 rounds. Both share the familiar TX-style polymer frame and striker-fired design, making the transition between calibers feel natural.
The TXM also comes equipped with features that make it a versatile addition to the range bag. Taurus' T.O.R.O. optics-ready system supports direct mounting of RMSc-pattern red dots, while threaded-barrel configurations provide compatibility with muzzle accessories and suppressors. The pistol also features a comfortable grip, a trigger safety, and straightforward controls. With the option of purchasing either caliber individually or as a combination kit, the TXM offers flexibility that few pistols in its category can match.
Whether you're drawn to the .22 WMR for its rimfire shooting experience or the 5.7x28mm for its higher capacity and distinctive performance, the Taurus TXM offers an interesting evolution of an already popular platform. Its combination of familiar ergonomics, modern features, and interchangeable calibers gives the TX family a new level of versatility that's worth a closer look.
