The TEC-22 was notable for its inexpensive construction, using ABS plastic and stamped metal parts to keep production costs low. Its most distinctive feature is that it is designed to use high-capacity magazines and drums made for the wildly popular Ruger 10/22 rifle, making it capable of holding 30, 50, or even more rounds of .22 LR ammunition. This feature, combined with its "futuristic" and intimidating appearance reminiscent of its larger 9mm cousin, the TEC-9, made it a unique entry in the rimfire pistol market.
