The Taurus 942 took over where the old Model 94 left off, and the upgrade is noticeable the moment you pull the trigger. Taurus reworked the trigger leverage and return spring on this one, so the double-action pull is far smoother than what the 94 was known for. You get an 8-round cylinder of .22 LR, a fully shrouded 2-inch barrel with a full underlug, and an all-steel frame wearing a matte black finish that holds up better than traditional bluing. At 23.6 ounces unloaded, it has enough heft to sit steady in the hand through the double-action pull, and .22 LR out of a gun this solid feels like almost nothing at all.
This is the revolver a lot of folks reach for when introducing someone to handguns. Low noise, no real recoil, and dirt-cheap ammo mean longer range sessions and faster progress. It also earns its keep as a tackle box or trail companion, and since it wears the same grip frame as the Taurus 85 and 856, it drops into a huge range of existing small-frame holsters and accepts plenty of aftermarket grips, including laser options.
The front sight is a pinned, serrated ramp, and the rear is a drift-adjustable blade held in the topstrap, so you can dial in windage for your preferred load. The exposed, checkered hammer spur lets you cock it for a light single-action press when you're working on precision, or run it straight double action for practice that carries over to a centerfire snub. A transfer bar safety keeps things simple with no extra levers or switches to fuss with.
Steel frame, steel cylinder, steel barrel. There's nothing delicate here, and Taurus backs it with their limited lifetime warranty. Whether it's your first revolver, a trainer for the family, or just the gun that turns a slow afternoon into a good one, the 942 does a lot for a small package.
It's one of the better choices out there for that job. The all-steel frame weighs 23.6 ounces, which soaks up the already mild .22 LR recoil, and the DA/SA action lets new shooters start with an easy single-action trigger press. Combine that with cheap rimfire ammo and you can run long practice sessions without fatigue or a big ammo bill.
In most cases, yes. The 942 is built on the same grip frame as the Taurus 85 and 856, so aftermarket grips made for those models, including laser grip options, will swap right on. Its dimensions are also close to common J-frame-size revolvers, so finding a holster is easy.
The rear sight is a blade set into the topstrap that drifts for windage, secured by a small flathead screw on the right side of the frame. The front sight is a pinned serrated ramp, and since it's pinned rather than machined into the barrel, it can be replaced with an aftermarket option like a fiber optic if you want more visibility.
This model, part number 2-942021, uses an all-steel frame and weighs 23.6 ounces. The Ultra-Lite version uses a lightweight alloy frame that brings the weight down to under 18 ounces. The steel gun carries a bit heavier but gives you a steadier hold through the double-action trigger pull, which many find worth the trade.
