    I placed an order with a local dealer for a TX22 from Davidson's. Every time I called the local dealer, I was told they do not have one. After several months, I cancelled the order. Best of luck to you.

    The TX22 is a hot 22LR semiautomatic pistol. So many great reviews. Medusa Munitions (an IP here) had one on their pages a couple months back, but it since sold. I would suggest setting an alert at Kentucky Guns. They seem to be one of the favored sellers for Rossi and Taurus firearms. Typically they get a large batch a few times a year, and this inventory, of the highly sought models, sells out within a couple of weeks, followed by months and months of no supply.

    I have the S&W .22 Compact and it is an awesome pistol. I swear, it is the only .22 that has never given me a magazine issue - period. I shoot it in competition rimfire matches at my club and it is more accurate than I can hold. It is a completely different pistol than the full size model so if you see bad reviews, they most likely came from the full size model. For the money, this is an excellent gun.

    I really like mine as well.
    OP it might help to post the general area you are looking in as you are looking for one locally.

    Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. I also got my TX22 from Kentucky Gun Co a couple weeks ago, did the transfer through the fine gentlemen at Tyler Firearms. Despite what they said about shipping delays, I ordered on a Friday and it was delivered to the FFL the next Wednesday.
