This is Taurus' latest iteration of its .22LR tip up barrel pocket pistol design. Chris Baker gives it a pretty good review with one exception: reliability. He had a handful of misfeeds and/or misfires out of each 100 round string of fire. The reliability issues are low enough that if this was a range toy, it would be of no real consequence. But as a defensive pistol, even a 2 or 3% failure rate is concerning. But is it the pistol or the ammunition? Several years ago, I had a bulk box of .22 LR from a reputable manufacturer where literally every other round was a dud even with good primer strikes, no matter what firearm I used; and I just have an impression--I haven't been keeping score--that quality control has slipped overall with .22 ammo production. And I'm not the only one that feels that way, as it seems this has been a well visited topic in various forums and boards.
