Taurus Small Frame Revolvers

[leejack]

just got a new model 94 revolver, any idea what amo shoot best?

paulie, welcome to the forum!

I had a 94, it should shoot just about everything. The cheap bulk stuff should do just fine for practice. I like the federal bulk sold at Wally World..

Having said that, CCI mini mags are my favorite 22lr round. Perhaps CCI match for the shooting the best targets.

94's are not as finicky as .22lrf pistols are. CCI Mini-mags hollow points and round nosed ammo work well in mine. So do the Remington Golden bullets. CCI Stingers and Remington Yellow Jackets are the other accuracy champs if you need something with a bit more speed.

I have a case of Quik-shok rounds as well.

Personally I like the Taurus 856,856 Lyte in .38 Special,and 327 in .327 Federal the best. The 856 series can be used with +P ( not the magnesium frame variant) or with non +P rounds that can get the job done. These also have 6 shots instead of 5 and are only a very slight difference in cylinder circumference.

125gr. Federal Nyclad rounds are what get used in the 856 Lyte model.

The 327 model holds 6 rounds as well. TUFF Quick-strips or HKS speedloaders carry extra ammo.

I have an older 85CH, but the 856s and 327 see more use.

There's the old trick of putting the thumb over the hammer as one draws the snub revolver out of a pocket holster or any holster. The thumb acts as a hammer shroud as the gun is drawn. It takes a little practice, but worth the effort.
