The Taurus 942 is a DA/SA revolver that brings modern enhancements to the classic rimfire design. Replacing the Model 94, the 942 is available in .22 LR and .22 WMR (Magnum) with options for 2" or 3" barrels, and it features either blued-steel, stainless-steel, or lightweight aluminum-alloy frames. Built on the same frame as the Taurus Model 85, it matches the size and grip frame of popular small-frame revolvers like the Smith & Wesson J-Frame and Ruger SP101, allowing compatibility with a wide range of grips and holsters. The 942 boasts an 8-shot cylinder with a 1.34" diameter, comparable to its centerfire counterparts, and includes a polished ejector rod and trigger. Its rear sight is a drift-adjustable blade, offering a sleek profile, while the front sight is a pinned ramp. The revolver's full underlug barrel provides added weight, enhancing stability and reducing recoil. The 942's compact rubber grip is designed for comfort and control, with textured surfaces and finger grooves to accommodate various hand sizes. The 942 delivers reliability and accuracy, with a smooth trigger pull—12 lbs. in double action and 4 lbs. 13 ozs. in single action—making it ideal for concealed carry, training, and recreational shooting.
