The Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite .22 LR is an eight-shot small-frame revolver with a 2-inch barrel (Taurus part no. 2-942021UL). Taurus builds the Ultra-Lite on a hard anodized aluminum alloy frame, which brings the unloaded weight down to 17.8 ounces. A serrated ramp front sight and a drift-adjustable rear sight give it a practical sight setup for such a compact gun. Low-recoil .22 LR makes it an easy revolver for training, plinking and lightweight backup carry.
