I just found this forum, today. It looks quite interesting. I've been looking for a .22 mag revolver, and the 941 looks like a likely candidate. I've seen a 2" UL SS model at a LGS, for $339. I haven't, as yet, seen a 4" model, but the 2 looks pretty nice.
I've had three Taurus revolvers, a model 85, most recently, and a 6" Model 66 from the mid-80s. Both guns were excellent specimens. Fit and finish was very good. Accuracy was excellent on the Model 66, though the trigger wasn't quite as nice as the Model 19 S&W I owned at the same time.
The other Taurus revolver I owned was a 4" .22 from the mid-70s. This was, by far, the ugliest gun I ever owned. I don't remember the model#, but it was one of the first guns imported from Taurus. The grips looked like they were made of opine, with a poorly slapped on coat of walnut stain. The checkering on the grips looked like it was cut wiht a bastard file. The topstrap was serrated, obviously done wiht the same file. The rear sight was adjustable, but it moved in a circular motion as you adjusted it. All that said, it shot very well. The SA trigger had some creep, but wasn't too heavy. I don't remember the DA trigger.
I sold it, after a bit, because I couldn't stand to look at such an ugly gun.
Taurus has continued to make large strides in making good looking and functioning firearms..
