The Taurus 942 Ultra Lite Revolver, 22 LR, 8-Round, 3-Inch (brand part no. 2-942039UL) is a lightweight double-action/single-action revolver built for concealed carry, recreational shooting, and skills training. Taurus chambers this small-frame 942 in 22 LR and loads it with an 8-round cylinder, giving shooters an unusually high capacity for a compact rimfire revolver with low recoil. A serrated ramp front sight paired with a drift-adjustable rear sight lets shooters dial in windage, while a transfer bar safety adds a mechanical layer of protection against accidental discharge. Among revolvers, this 942 Ultra Lite favors new shooters, trainers, and anyone who wants a low-recoil, easy-to-carry rimfire wheelgun.
