Taurus 941 Revolver

The Taurus 941 is a lightweight 22 Magnum Rimfire revolver with an eight shot cylinder. This is the 941SS5, which is stainless steel with a matte finish and has a 5" barrel. It has fully adjustable sights and a reasonable sight radius (nearly seven inches). When fired single-action, the trigger is very nice. The full grip is slim and compact but fits my hand excellently. It weighs 27.5 ounces.

I will carry this sidearm when hunting small game in Missouri because it is capable of taking coyote. Since it is rimfire, it also has certain benefits with regard to various hunting regulations. It is also going to go with me to my mom's house whenever I work outdoors in the yard to dispatch varmints and protect against threatening canines. I have a custom-made full-flap holster to use in the field and at my mom's house.

I purchased this handgun new in box in 2010. Taurus claims it was manufactured in 2008.

Ammunition

I will probably want a heavy varmint bullet, in the neighborhood of 40 grains. CCI has a 40 gr. jacketed spire point called GamePoint. Remington also has a 40 gr. JSP. Fiocchi has a 40 gr. jacketed soft point with a much flatter nose. The Winchester Supreme 34 gr. JHP looks very well constructed, with scores like a Hornady XTP. Winchester is also releasing a lead-free 40 gr. JHP (no image yet).

Ooo! Federal makes a 50gr JHP that looks well constructed. And Winchester Super-X is reasonably priced for target shooting.
