There's a lot to like about a snub-nose revolver that holds eight rounds and weighs less than a full water bottle. The Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite takes the proven 942 platform and swaps in an aluminum alloy frame, dropping the weight to a feathery 17.8 ounces. Paired with a hard anodized black finish, a 2 inch barrel, and .22 LR chambering, you get a revolver that disappears in a pocket holster or on a belt and stays comfortable all day.
Rimfire snubbies fill a role that bigger wheelguns just can't. Recoil is next to nothing, ammo is cheap, and the manual of arms is as simple as it gets. That makes the 942 Ultra-Lite a smart pick for recoil-sensitive folks, first-time revolver owners, or anyone who wants an easy trainer that mirrors the feel of a defensive snub without the wear on your wrist or wallet. The DA/SA action gives you options too. Run it double action for defensive-style practice, or thumb back the exposed hammer for a light, crisp single-action pull when you're plinking cans or working on fundamentals.
Taurus fitted this one with a serrated ramp front sight and a drift-adjustable rear, which is a nice step up from the fixed trench sights common on small revolvers. The finger-grooved grip fills the hand well for a gun this size, and the steel cylinder swings out for quick, familiar loading. A transfer bar safety means the hammer can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled, which is exactly what you want on a carry-sized wheelgun.
At 6.6 inches long and 1.34 inches wide, this is a genuinely compact package, and the 1:16.5 inch twist barrel handles standard and high-velocity .22 LR loads well. Whether you're after a lightweight kit gun, a fun range companion, or eight rounds of low-recoil confidence, the 942 Ultra-Lite covers a lot of ground for a little revolver.
The Ultra-Lite uses an aluminum alloy frame instead of the all-steel construction on the standard 942. That cuts the weight from around 23.6 ounces down to 17.8 ounces, a difference you'll notice right away if you carry it all day. The steel cylinder, DA/SA action, and 8-round capacity carry over unchanged.
It's one of the better starter revolvers out there. The .22 LR chambering produces almost no recoil, ammo is inexpensive, and revolver operation is about as simple as firearms get. The single-action option also gives new shooters a lighter, crisper trigger pull while they build fundamentals.
The rear sight is drift adjustable for windage, held in a slot on the topstrap with a small screw. The front is a fixed serrated ramp. It's worth confirming the rear sight screw is snug before your first range trip so your point of impact stays consistent.
Yes, Taurus backs its firearms with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Between the steel cylinder and hard anodized alloy frame, this little revolver is built to handle a lifetime of range sessions.
