The Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite is a lightweight .22 LR revolver built on an aluminum alloy frame with a matte stainless barrel and cylinder. At 18.80 oz it's noticeably lighter than standard steel-frame revolvers, which makes it comfortable to carry for extended periods. The 8-round cylinder, SADA action, and adjustable rear sight round out a practical package for range use or training.

Detailed Features 

The aluminum alloy frame keeps weight down without sacrificing the stainless steel where it matters most: barrel and cylinder. .22 LR recoil is minimal regardless, so the lighter frame doesn't introduce any handling issues. The finger-grooved polymer grip gives you a consistent hand position shot to shot. Adjustable rear sights are a genuine advantage over fixed-sight revolvers at this price point, letting you correct point of impact rather than simply learning to compensate.

The Taurus 942 Ultra-Lite gets generally positive marks from owners who want a lightweight .22 LR revolver. The low weight is the most frequently praised feature, and most people find it comfortable to shoot for long sessions given the mild caliber. At its price point, the Ultra-Lite is often seen as good value, especially compared to pricier rimfire revolvers.

Criticism focuses on a few recurring areas. Some owners have noted build quality concerns, particularly around fit and finish that doesn't match more expensive revolvers. Trigger feel is divisive: many find it acceptable, but others describe the pull as heavier or less consistent than they'd like. A handful of owners have reported reliability issues with specific ammunition brands, so some ammo experimentation may be needed. The 8-round capacity is sometimes mentioned as a limitation for defensive use, though for training and range work it's a non-issue.
