Now that I have looked at the Taurus 94ss4 (Stainless, 4" bbl, .22), I think i'm in love. It fits my hand perfectly, the grip is extremely comfortable, it locks up tight like my smiths and colts, and it looks very attractive. All I am looking for is a practice revolver, and this seems perfect. The only thing is that I have been looking at reviews and people say they have major failures after 50-100 rounds and overall they are just crappy. I really want one of these and I dont want to spend the $500-$600 for a S&W 317 or 63. What do you all think?

Edit- This should have been in revolvers.
Edit 2- Now its in autoloaders?

I have two of them, my aunt has two of them, my brother has one. Not afraid to buy another one at all.
 
I have a 2 inch ultralite ss. It is very accurate and reliable. HOWEVER, I had to polish the star ejector and cylinder pin to get it to open and close without binding, Just a soft polishing dremel attachment that wears down as it polishes.
 
Head to taurusarmed.net

most people have had 1 problem, sent back and fixed. There is a thread now a guy orderd 2 990(22lr models) one broke after a few rounds, sent back and got it back fixed. He has already put 4,000rds+ in one gun. ;)
 
The 94ss4 I used to own had what had to be a 20lb trigger pull. It also had tooling marks that looked like a wolverine grabbed it.
 
I have one that literally fell apart at the range one day. I'd guess somewhere around 1000 rounds. I'm going to take it to a gunsmith, get it fixed, then get it sold. I'll look elsewhere for my cheap plinker.
 
Had one which had terrible DA trigger and was poorly fit and finished. I traded it and a few bucks for a 6" 617 10 shot and am much happier. Cost more but much better quality.
 
I have had A 3" 94 for around 23 to 25 years , not sure. Been a very good practice revolver up till last year and started to not strike hard enought to fire ever time. Sent it to taurus and had it back in 2 weeks. New fireing pin and new extra heavy hammer spring . Put a lighter wolff spring for my 38 in it and I works great with a much lighter trigger. Not bad for a very well used 22.
 
I did have a .22LR taurus tracker that I regret selling. It's only problem was that you had to clean it about every 100 rounds, otherwise the cylinder would bind up around the forcing cone. I wouldn't mind having a model 94 myself. The heavy DA trigger is great for training.

Hi Hardluk,

Got the same prob with my 25 year old 94 3". What did they charge you and how did you ship it to them? Also, where did you ship it?

Thanks,

Al
 
I know someone who has one, they have about 50 rounds through it. It's been great so far, I haven't heard about the "fall apart in 50-100 rounds" thing.
 
I had one for several years back in the late eighties, and into the mid-nineties. Used it to teach my then-wife how to shoot, and it became a plinker for me, and a bedside gun for her when I worked nights. It ran fine; maybe only had 500-700 rounds through it in those years, though. I let her take it with her when we split up and divorced.
I'd certainly consider another if I was in the market for a .22 revolver.
 
I have a 941. I wish that I had bought something else. It was sent back to Taurus for repair. They fixed half of the problem but the other half still leaves the revolver "unsafe".:fire:

Never again!:banghead:
 
I've got a stainless 4", runs great, the DA trigger pull was horrible, put in a set of wolff springs, much easier. it goes to the range every week, 100-200 rounds with no problems. Some ammo is a little harder to eject empties, thats my only problem. It's a great practice gun, good match for my J-frame EDC
