so i've got a hankerin for a 22 DA hi-cap revolver and the S&W 617 is very nice but the cheep bastard in me cant shellout $650 or so for a plinking gun. That leaves the taurus 94 IMO but just keep hearing about the awfull trigger. For you guys with the 94 do you regret getting it or is the tough trigger pull mostly hype?

This model of Taurus seems to have the most issues, especially with the trigger pull. I'd go with a Ruger SP101

I would get the Tracker 992, instead, that one enables you to switch cylinders for .22WMR and .22LR, it is still DA and it has a better trigger. But if you get a used 94 at a good price, why not? Ray is right, they can be more testy than the tracker models.

If you can find a used Hi Standard Double Nine, that might be a sweet gun to have.

Love my 94. I'm not one to be really anal about trigger pull perfection or anything like that. Every time I pull the trigger, it goes bang.

 

If you want to try it at Hauge's sometime just let me know.

While the 94 isn't a bad gun, the 617 or other might be also looked at first and all of them tested and fired before you do buy. The one thing that can be done to the 94 is the use of the Taurus small frame revolver spring kit from Wolf. I have play around with the spiring, and while it is a big improvement over the stock springs, I do get the occasional FTF, not that bad and keep in mind I shoot Federal Bulk 525 pack so I may have better luck with CC I's but for the amount of shooting I do with the 94 I just don't see it worth It. Heck I have had the gun for about 9 months and only put about 2 bricks through her, so she not my normal shooter, but still a fun gon to shoot.

Yea- that Ruger is lookin good to me, may have to go out of character and spend some xtra on that lil ole .22. Not as much as the s&w and too many mixed reviews on the Tauri and not much else thats modern. But first gonna catch me a cat

I love the Ruger SP101 in .22LR. It does have a heavy trigger and mine had a problem, which so far Ruger has fixed by me sending it to them and them replacing a lot of things inside.

 

I would recommend the aftermarket Hogue grips for it, though.
