I own no less than 16 of the Taurus 94-941 series of revolvers. Four of them had problems with locking up when new. I was able to fix them myself with minimal effort. They have all been reliable, a couple are near the 40,000 round mark, and accurate. No parts have broken and I have had no other misshaps. The factory double action trigger pull is horribly stiff. This can be helped a lot with a wolff 6 1/2 lb trigger spring.
Having said all of that, I would not recommend a Taurus 94 to anyone unless they are mechanically inclined and willing to completely disassemble the gun and clean out the copious amounts of grit and gunk that reside in the internals of one of these guns when new. If you don't mind tinkering a little you can make a nice little gun out of one of them. I would buy another one for myself in a heartbeat. The basic gun and its design is sound, they just sometimes need a little finishing.
If you are a person who can look at something and figure out how it works,and have enough patience to do a little fluff and buff, I would say go for it. If you can't, I would say pass.
