The 3-inch barrel uses a slab-sided profile with a full-length ejector-rod shroud, giving this compact rimfire a balanced feel and a clean, purposeful look. The fluted cylinder holds eight rounds of .22 LR, providing ample capacity in a small-frame package.
Built with a stainless steel frame and cylinder in a matte stainless finish, this 942 uses a DA/SA action with an exposed hammer and a transfer-bar safety system. The fixed-sight setup pairs a pinned, serrated ramp front sight with an integral square-notch rear.
Factory black rubber boot-style grips with pebbled panels offer a compact profile. This model shares its grip pattern with the Taurus 856 series, allowing straightforward grip compatibility within that family.
Markings include Taurus Int'l Mfg, Bainbridge, GA. The included factory box bears the matching SKU (2-942039) and a 19.03.2025 date on the end label, aligning with this configuration's recent release.
