Taurus PT-22 PLY .22 LR Stainless / Black Micro Pistol – Tip-Up Barrel, DAO, 8+1
The Taurus PT-22 PLY pairs a stainless steel tip-up barrel with a lightweight polymer frame, creating a pocket-sized pistol that is easy to load and simple to carry. Discontinued in the mid-2010s, this second-generation “Poly” model offers an 8+1 capacity, true double-action-only trigger, and the convenience of loading a chambered round without racking the slide. This example is in excellent shape with only minimal handling evidence, making it an appealing choice for shooters and collectors who appreciate Taurus’s innovative micro-pistol design.

The PT-22 PLY’s tip-up barrel lets you load or clear the chamber without cycling the slide—ideal for shooters with limited hand strength and for safe administrative handling.
Its DAO mechanism provides second-strike capability and a consistent trigger pull for every shot. A bobbed hammer and flush controls keep the profile snag-free for pocket carry.
The matte stainless slide features wide fish-scale serrations for positive grip, while the black polymer frame’s integral texturing offers secure purchase without adding bulk. Weight stays at a feathery 11 oz empty.
Safety is covered by a left-side manual thumb safety and a magazine disconnect, giving the user options without complicating operation.
As the stainless 1-220039PLY variant, this discontinued micro pistol combines corrosion resistance, modern materials, and Taurus’s long-running PT-22 platform in a package no longer found on dealer shelves.
