I was reading about how the MOB allegedly used the .22lr for their hits. According to an online article I read they used it because the soft lead bullet would deform enough when used for head shots. That deformation made it impossible to read the land and grooves that rifling usually left on bullet. Allegedly the soft lead bullet would deform enough that it could never be traced. Additionally revolvers don't spit out evidence everywhere that pistols do in the form of shell casings. Recovering a bullet too deformed to trace and no shell casings could bring an investigation to a end sooner than later. In a similar article Mossad allegedly used 22LR for their hits. If Mossad is using .22 revolvers for their hits same deal. If a soft lead bullet was recovered it would be too deformed to trace and with out shell casings investigators wouldn't have much to go on. In a SHTF scenario the .22LR is a great survival tool for taking small game. If your good enough a head shot will bring down much bigger game. I saw video where a farmer used a .22 rifle to kill a steer with a head shot from a foot away. The steer dropped where it stood. It was dragged off and hours later the result was a freezer full of beef. In hunting and self defense it isn't the caliber its shot placement. A poor shot with a 9mm, 40 or 45 won't bring down your attacker while a well placed shot with a .22 will. You don't have to look far to find videos of hog hunters using a .22 rifle and brining down good sized hogs with a shot between the eye and ear. One guy stated his buddies rag on him for taking a 22 hog hunting while they brought their ARs. He took his time for each shot. If you've hunted much the bigger hogs hang back while the younger and smaller hogs would rush the feeder. When the big hogs was sure there's no danger then they slowly come out of the brush to feed. That's how they lived to be bigger hogs they let the smaller ones take the risk. Of course its illegal nearly anywhere to deer hunt with a .22LR but when the SHTF who is gonna complain how you're feeding your family. So don't count out the .22 in handgun or rifle form

Hello from Southwest Va,,yes they do make the 942 in an UL version.I bought one and had to send it back to the factory,,cylinder was out of time & shells wouldn't eject.When I got it back,the cylinder had been replaced and was in time but I had to take a wooden dow and knock out the spent shell casings so that revolver is back in the box and won;t see the light of day again for a while.I do have 2 regular 942 revolvers.The stainless one has been excellemt for the past 3 years and the other is black like yours.I just got it last week and haven't got to shoot it yet.And I was lucky to have found them.

I found one (Taurus 942 22lr steal color) used in Jan 2023 at a local gun shop. It's was $375. I traded in my first gun (Rossi 38sp 5 shot black snubby + some change). I got it so kiddos and esposa can shoot at the range. Gotta say I miss my Rossi but this Taurus 942 22lr 8shot was too much to pass up know by seeing all the videos posted they are VERY VERY HARD to find. When I took it to range first time it skipped like two rounds. I went back to dealer and he sent it back to Taurus for me (that was VERY cool of him to do that). It came back like a month layer and it fires flawlessly. I'm glad a got this revolver, I'm able train with it and cost is down on ammo, it's small too conceal, and it doesn't have a big bang sound. I highly recommend this revolver IF U CAN FIND IT, to the CCW community. .. from CC,TX

Was told by a gunsmith that a 22lr, and a 22mag are virtually the same ballistics wise with under a 3” barrel. It takes at least 3” of barrel for the 22mag to reach its full potential. Don’t know if it’s true or not. Just what I was told…..

I just recently purchased a new Taurus 942. It was defective out of the box, would not ignite any primers. Sent it back to Taurus, after waiting 3 weeks for an update they finally answered their customer service line. They said the frame was so defective they would need to destroy the firearm and issue me a new one, replacing the serial number. Wait 8 weeks for delivery and I have to do an FFL transfer AND pay for it. Just a heads up.

Hate to hear that. So far mine has been flawless. Knock on wood…. It is a Taurus, so you gotta know what you’re dealing with there. Although, I’ve had other firearms, such as Ruger 1911 that you’d expect to be great, but were absolute lemons.

I purchased one used. Having a problem with Spent Shell’s getting stuck. I sent it back to Taurus and they replaced the cylinder. Same problem. They suggested I use CCI stingers in it. I took it back to where I purchased it and the gun Smith There honed out the cylinder Slightly and said it’s fine. I have yet to try it out.

Thanks! I'm feeling better each day! as to your question, having never shot either one of those I couldn't honestly say. I would try to find a shop that had both where you could compare them side by side and see how they feel in your hand. I can say, you probably couldn't go wrong with either.

My 94, purchased new in 2014, is like that, and has been since right out of the box. I think the chambers are, by a miniscule margin, a bit oversized. This would allow fired cases to swell enough to essentially "lock" themselves into the chambers, requiring me to rap the ejector rod end with a tool to free them. Live rounds fall freely from the chambers.
