Notes
The 8-round cylinder capacity makes efficient use of the small-frame design. The Model 941 uses the same size cylinder as the Model 85 series (1.34 inches diameter), demonstrating the space efficiency of rimfire cartridges. Available in blued steel, stainless steel, and lightweight aluminum alloy (Ultra-Lite) versions.
