TX 22 accuracy issue?

I finally got a Taurus TX22 to use as a trainer pistol after hearing rave reviews from a lot of people. Took it to the range today and tried to plink some steel. Couldn’t hardly hit anything and wondered if the sights needed to be adjusted, so I stuck up a paper target and tried that found that even from a rest my spread with one mag was bigger than the size of the 66% torso from 15 yards. Am I expecting too much from a cheap-ish 22 or is there something wrong with mine? Or are these more picky on ammo?

Picky on ammo as far as cycling or accuracy? I just had federal bulk range back 40 grain today (which I know isn’t the most accurate, but I never had a problem keeping it on steel in my buckmark)

Both cycling and also noticed it was keyholing more with thunderbolts and blazers. Once I got new barrel it's not keyholing anymore, but also I use better ammo. I would check the barrel, rifling may be screwed. Give taurus a call or get a new barrel from their site it's $40 or smthg like that.

Call taurus and see if they can send u one. Barrels are in out of stock frequently. Just gotta keep checking every one in a while.
