Taurus 942 .22WMR Revolver, 3" Barrel, 8-Round, Black/BK (2-942M031UL)

The Taurus 942 .22WMR revolver is a lightweight, compact handgun built for shooters who want a versatile rimfire option for range sessions, small-game hunting, or general plinking. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this 3-inch barreled revolver combines the reliability of traditional double-action/single-action design with the modern practicality of an aluminum frame that keeps overall weight to just 18.80 ounces—making it easy to carry and shoot all day without fatigue.

Built on Taurus's Ultra-Lite platform, the 942 delivers eight rounds of .22 WMR capacity in a small-frame package that measures 6.60 inches overall. The matte stainless steel barrel and cylinder resist corrosion, while the stainless anodized aluminum frame provides durability without excess weight. A black finger-grooved polymer grip ensures a secure, comfortable hold whether you're shooting double-action for speed or cocking the exposed hammer for precision single-action work.

The fixed ramp front sight pairs with an adjustable rear sight, giving you the ability to dial in your zero for different ammunition or shooting distances. A transfer bar safety provides an additional layer of security. Whether you're introducing someone new to shooting, training at the range, or enjoying casual backyard plinking, the 942 offers straightforward, no-nonsense rimfire revolver performance at a practical price point.
