Re: Taurus 941 revolver in .22 Magnum

I have Taurus 941 .22 magnum revolvers in the 2" (UltraLight stainless)
and 3" and 4" barrel lengths in stainless and blue finishes. I note
that your post did not include the 3" barrel length, but that's okay,
because I don't have any five inchers.

I've never paid any attention to recoil from any of these pistols, nor
from the 94 (nine shot .22 LR) Taurus revolvers I have, in the 2, 3 and
4 inch barrel lengths in a mix of blued and stainless finishes.

The biggest differences I notice when shooting .22 magnums over .22 LR
is the muzzle blast, which is much increased. Recoil from any of these
neat little revolvers is negligible.

None of the Taurus 941 .22 magnum revolvers should be fired with .22 LR
ammunition. The cartridge cases are likely to split and accuracy will
be all but lost.

I prefer stainless to blued steel in these revolvers, because I have
had blued Taurus 94s lead their barrels to the point accuracy was
totally lost, and it's been a pain to keep them lead free. No such
problem with the model 94 stainless revolvers.

I don't think you can go wrong with these, but I have found them
addictive. The shorter the barrel, the more challenging it is for me
to shoot them well, but they're GREAT practice, and loads of fun!

On some of these I have coated the rear of the front sight plane with
Liquid Paper or WhiteOut, and an overlayer of luminescent paint, pale
green and bright yellow are my favorite. The color does not help me
shoot black bullseyes on white paper, but is great for informal targets
against a natural background.
