I actually have a Taurus PT-22, so I can comment on that one.....get the Beretta equivalent, if you want a 22 between the two manufacturers. Hopefully, it is better quality. I've shot the Taurus a few times, and free-hand, I've gotten around 3-4" groups at 20 feet when trying to be more accurate. The problem I have with the gun is that the magazine follower is a screwed up design that will actually twist and ramps the bullets in a weird fashion. Anything over 6 rounds in the mag, and it has a tendancy to not feed very well. The bullets get at a weird angle in the mag. Also, I was shooting the same Remington ammo in my Ruger MKII and the Taurus, and with the Taurus, some of the bullets had to be hit with the firing pin twice for them to go off. I don't recall any primer igniting problems with the Ruger. I'm wanting to purchase another, backup, magazine for the Taurus. Maybe it will work better thn the one that came with the gun. The ammo was trash, though, as the bullets were not very well seated in the casings and were cocking at angles and causing feeding problems with my Ruger 10/22 rifles and jamming up inside the magazines. I've NEVER had a problem like this with any other ammo, so I'm figuring I got a bad batch of Remington .22 ammo.
