Rimfire revolvers have a way of becoming the most-used gun in the safe, and the Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite makes a strong case for it. This is an eight-shot .22 LR built on a small frame with an aluminum alloy frame that keeps the whole package feather light. The matte stainless finish gives it a clean, classic look that shrugs off holster wear, and the steel cylinder keeps the working parts stout where it counts. Two extra rounds over the typical six-shot snub is a nice bonus whether you are running drills or burning through a brick of ammo on a lazy Saturday.
The 3-inch barrel is a sweet spot for this platform. It stretches the sight radius enough to make hitting easier without turning it into a chore to carry. Up top you get a serrated ramp front sight paired with an adjustable rear, so you can dial in your point of impact for your preferred ammo instead of settling for close enough. The DA/SA action gives you options too. Run it double action for defensive-style practice, or thumb back the exposed hammer for slow, deliberate single-action work when you are stretching your accuracy. A transfer bar safety rounds out the design.
With .22 LR out of a lightweight frame, recoil is basically a rumor. That makes the 942 Ultra-Lite a natural fit for new revolver owners, anyone sensitive to recoil, or seasoned hands who want a cheap-to-feed trainer that mirrors the manual of arms of their centerfire wheelgun. The finger-grooved grip fills the hand well and keeps the gun planted through fast double-action strings.
At well under a pound and a half, this revolver disappears in a bag or on the hip and comes out whenever there is time to shoot. Simple to run, simple to clean, and backed by the Taurus limited lifetime warranty, the 942 Ultra-Lite is one of those guns that ends up doing a little bit of everything.
The Ultra-Lite version uses an aluminum alloy frame paired with a steel cylinder, bringing it in at well under a pound and a half unloaded. That is noticeably lighter than all-steel small-frame revolvers, which is a big plus for carry or long days at the range. With .22 LR, the light weight does not translate into punishing recoil either.
Yes. It wears a fixed serrated ramp up front and an adjustable rear sight, so you can fine-tune your point of impact for the ammo you shoot most. That is a real advantage over the fixed trench sights found on a lot of snub-nose revolvers.
It is one of the better starting points out there. The .22 LR chambering means mild recoil and inexpensive ammo, so new owners can practice often without flinching or breaking the bank. The DA/SA action also teaches both trigger styles, and the eight-round cylinder keeps range sessions moving.
The 942 covered here is chambered in .22 LR, while the 942M runs the hotter .22 WMR (22 Magnum) cartridge. Both hold eight rounds on the same small frame. The .22 LR version is cheaper to feed and softer shooting, which makes it the go-to pick for training and plinking.
