The Taurus 942 is an 8-shot revolver built for concealed carry, recreational shooting, and skills training. Chambered in .22 WMR with a 3″ barrel, this DA/SA revolver combines a compact footprint with practical performance. At 7.6″ overall length and weighing just 1.7 lbs, the ultra-lightweight design prioritizes portability.
The 942 shares its frame with the Taurus Model 85, matching the size and grip frame of popular small-frame revolvers like the Smith & Wesson J-Frame and Ruger SP101. This compatibility opens access to a broad range of aftermarket grips and holsters. The revolver is equipped with adjustable rear sights and a ramp front sight for precision aiming at various distances. A transfer bar safety mechanism secures the revolver during daily carry.
The .22 WMR cylinder holds 8-round capacity. The .22 WMR round delivers 440 fps more velocity than .22 LR with corresponding energy gains, earning it recognition for extended reach and terminal performance. Lightweight and reliable, the Taurus 942 UL handles personal defense training, backwoods carry, or extended range sessions with minimal fatigue.
