And then there are others who want to carry, but don’t want to pack anything that isn’t ultra-small and pocketable. These are the people for whom the new Taurus 22TUC is made. It’s small, light, easy-recoiling and doesn’t require racking the slide.

So shoot one, guys, and tell us about it.
There’s only one small nit to pick with straight-blowback tilt-barrel pocket pistols like the Beretta Tomcat, and I hope Taurus addressed it –
If you have a dud in the pipe, you are screwed, because there’s no extractor. If Taurus solved that, I’ll buy one…
I’m thinking the same thing. No manual yet with a parts diagram that I could find, but one of the pics on their website shows the breech with the barrel flipped open, and I don’t see an extractor groove. Feed ramp at the bottom, and slot for firing pin at the top, but apparently no extractor.
