About the Taurus 94
The Taurus 94 is a medium-frame revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Produced at Taurus's modern manufacturing facilities in São Leopoldo, Brazil and their American operations in Bainbridge, Georgia, this firearm reflects Taurus's commitment to delivering reliable firearms at competitive price points. The 9-round cylinder provides standard capacity for revolvers of this size class, a meaningful advantage in defensive situations. The 5.0-inch barrel provides excellent accuracy potential for target shooting and hunting. At 709g (25.0 oz) unloaded, this firearm provides a solid shooting platform that helps manage recoil during extended range sessions. Taurus has positioned this model as a high-value option in the competitive handgun market, offering features and reliability that punch above its price point, making it particularly appealing to first-time gun owners and experienced shooters seeking a reliable secondary firearm.
Taurus's revolver manufacturing expertise traces back to their acquisition of the Smith & Wesson factory in Brazil, giving them access to decades of refined revolver-building knowledge that continues to influence their designs today.
