I have no experience with the PT22, but have to agree with everyone else who think that a J-frame Centennial is hard to beat for pocket carry. From the mid 80s to mid 90s, I carried a similar .22 pistol in pockets - the Beretta Model 21A. I have two, have pretty much worn them both out shooting them (probably 5k or more rounds each), and would tout them as the best .22 pistol in that class. I carried them for reasons they included maximum concealment ability. The Taurus, I believe is a little bigger than the Beretta and any concealment advantage over a J-frame vs a small auto is negated.

Lately I've been carrying a Glock 43 in pocket and would suggest like other posters that there are better options for pocket carry than a .22 pistol. Back when I carried the Beretta, there just wasn't anything on the market that was as consistent or reliable (mine handled practically every .22 bullet I ever tried). Today there are a lot of better options.
