Frequently Asked Questions:
Does this replacement barrel include a thread protector? No. This replacement barrel is shipped as a bare, drop-in performance component and does not include a thread protector or an o-ring. It is designed to let you easily reuse your original factory TX22 Competition thread hardware or directly mount your preferred aftermarket compensator or suppressor right out of the box.
Will the Gold PVD finish scratch or wear off easily? No. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is an advanced industrial coating process, not spray-on paint or plating. The gold hardcoat is atomically bonded to the steel, making it incredibly resistant to scratches, abrasions, slide friction, and harsh bore cleaners.
Is this barrel compatible with standard TX22 models? No. The TX22 Competition uses a specialized heavy barrel architecture where the optic plate mounts directly to the barrel itself rather than a moving slide. This barrel features the exact flat-top profiling required specifically for the Competition slide system.

Reviews
TX22 Comp barrel
Posted by Mr. Rooney on Apr 16th 2025
The original barrel pistol barrel was rough with chatter marks and thus an occasional bullet tumbler and quite inaccurate. This replacement bore is smooth and clean. Almost too smooth as initial inspection it seemed there was missing rifling areas due to polishing. But once 200 or so rounds and after a good cleaning, very accurate groups. No tumblers or fliers like the original. Why 4 stars? If all is well after a year of usage, this pistol gets at least 5000 rounds a year, if allowed I will update to 5 stars. But if your TX22 is giving crappy performance due to the stock barrel, get one of these. Would be appreciated if a black version was available, I do not need the bling.
