Notes
The aluminum alloy frame is durable enough for .22 WMR pressures. The reduced weight increases felt recoil compared to the steel-frame Model 941 but remains very manageable given the rimfire chambering.
Background
Taurus's revolver manufacturing expertise traces back to their acquisition of the Smith & Wesson factory in Brazil, giving them access to decades of refined revolver-building knowledge that continues to influence their designs today.
