What’s Included
- Original box
The 942 uses an eight-shot fluted cylinder with a rimfire-style star extractor, providing .22 LR capacity in a compact, small-frame layout. A push-forward, checkered cylinder latch and an exposed, checkered-spur hammer support straightforward operation in DA/SA.
The 2-inch snub-nose barrel features a full underlug and a shrouded ejector rod. Sights are practical and durable: a serrated ramp, pinned front pairs with a rear notch set into the topstrap.
Handling details include a black rubber boot grip for a secure hold and a matte black finish for a low-glare profile. Approximate overall dimensions are 6.6 in. in length, 4.64 in. in height, and 1.34 in. in width, keeping the revolver trim and easy to carry.
Markings include Taurus Int’l Mfg, Bainbridge, GA, Taurus Armas, and Made in Brazil, reflecting production in Brazil with U.S. import markings. The transfer-bar safety provides modern internal protection while maintaining the classic revolver form.
