I liked the size and the accuracy, but later had problems. The hammer sear wore, causing it to go full auto a few times. And one time while loading the chamber, as the slide came forward the impact both flipped the safety and dropped the hammer, blowing a small hole in the floor of my car. I can only assume that the hammer block safety failed as well. When I bought the gun, I tested both safeties at the range and they worked fine. I had to stop carrying this gun due to the unreliability of safe operation. I would advise extreme caution when handling this firearm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-51708721394261050422015-12-23T20:07:53.724-06:002015-12-23T20:07:53.724-06:00I bought the chrome model I-J TP22 as my b-u gun i...I bought the chrome model I-J TP22 as my b-u gun in my pocket. Typically I only carry that as it doesn't hardly print during summertime when it's in my jeans or shorts pocket and I am not heavily dressed. I also carry it all other months along with my Taurus PT638 semi auto that I keep under my coat.<br />Due to it's smaller size, it makes a good in-the-car gun that's easy to conceal.<br /><br />Reliability of this gun is good, however they ARE ammo sensitive and if you're shooting ammo that isn't high power, it's not going to shoot right and will stovepipe.<br />I have had good results with HP ammo and hi power round nose ammo, but the standard velocity and the fragment rounds don't work. They will fire but not rack the gun for your next shot.<br /><br />Cons to the semi auto guns.<br />Parts availability. Parts are hard to find for them due to only a short manufacturing run of about 5 years. It seems that revolvers were more common than the semi autos as I see a lot of parts for revolvers on eBay. However, I DID get lucky and find an extra mag for my tp22 on eBay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-46780011080672928142014-06-25T05:01:13.007-05:002014-06-25T05:01:13.007-05:00I just purchased one for less than 200 to replace ...I just purchased one for less than 200 to replace my walther TPH.
