Taurus PT-22

The Taurus PT22 is a tip-up barrel .22 LR pocket pistol, known for its capacity, DAO (Double Action Only) trigger, and ease of loading without racking the slide. It has a spur-less hammer, and a long but smooth double action only (DAO) trigger. The "tip up" barrel is useful in that the first round may be chambered directly into the barrel, and the operator does not have to "pull back" or "rack" the slide.
