I am looking to buy a 98% Taurus 94 in 4in barrel. It looks unfired. It was manf in 1992. Anyone have experience with these? All I plan on doing is plinking with it. Price is $350.
Every post about .22lr revolvers here seems to have a chorus of folks who have the same problems with all of them no matter the brand.
1 The trigger pull is heavy and terrible compared to X other revolvers I own.
2. The Trigger /Cylinder binds and is hard to pull after x rounds.
3. The empties are hard to eject...
4. Misfires that then fire on the second strike...
If all you plan to use it for is plinking, I implore you to go single action. I always enjoy shooting single actions more at the range than I do double actions and with rimfire it's just the better way to go.
Was it the weight of the gun being an issue or the trigger? Near every review had an issue with the gun being so light it would wander on target."I too wanted a double action .22 revolver for a while and waited for Ruger to make a 3 inch LCRx in .22 and after I read reviews of it, I decided $450 for it wasn't a fair price."
Mine was horrible. I thought it would solve my wanting a shorter barreled 22lr revolver with decent sights issue. I was wrong. I couldn't shoot it worth squat, and I am not a terrible shooter.
I know that, but I find single actions easier to cock the hammer and fire. The thing is the DA pull of rimfire revolvers is always so heavy that I just don't bother using it. Absent any serious defensive use intentions for the revolver, if it's just plinking only, the DA is a wasted feature.You, of course, can always fire a da revolver in the sa mode if you so choose. Not possible vice-versa.
