The Taurus Tracker 992 4″ 9rd Stainless .22 LR/.22 WMR is a medium-frame revolver that ships with two cylinders, letting you switch between .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum without tools.

Key Features
- Removable Dual Cylinder: Swap between .22 LR and .22 WMR in seconds. Why it matters: you get two calibers in one revolver—train cheap with LR, then step up to magnum for small-game hunting without buying a second gun.
- 4.0″ Stainless Barrel: Balances accuracy with carry-ability. Why it matters: that 4-inch length gives you enough sight radius for precise shots at 25 yards, yet the revolver still fits in a range bag or holster without feeling like a tank.
- Adjustable Rear Sight: Windage and elevation clicks let you dial in for different ammo. Why it matters: .22 LR and .22 WMR have different trajectories—being able to zero both without a gunsmith keeps you on target in the field.
- Ribber Rubber Grip: Soft, textured rubber with finger grooves. Why it matters: reduces felt recoil from .22 WMR and gives you a secure hold even with sweaty hands during a long range session or wet-weather hunt.
- 9-Round Capacity: Holds nine rounds in each cylinder. Why it matters: that’s more than the typical six-shot .22 revolver, meaning fewer reloads and more time shooting or tracking game.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the shooter who wants one gun that does double duty. If you’re a concealed carrier looking for an affordable way to practice trigger control and sight alignment without burning through centerfire ammo, the Tracker 992 fills that role. It also suits the small-game hunter who needs a reliable .22 WMR for rabbits and squirrels but wants the option to plink with cheap .22 LR. New shooters will appreciate the mild recoil and simple manual of arms; experienced shooters will value the durability of stainless steel and the flexibility of the dual-cylinder system.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Dual-cylinder system saves money vs. buying two revolvers; stainless construction resists rust in humid or rainy conditions; Ribber grip tames .22 WMR snap; adjustable sights let you zero for both calibers; nine-round capacity is generous for a .22 wheelgun.
- Cons: The double-action trigger pull is heavy—expect around 10–12 lbs—which can affect accuracy for new shooters. The cylinder release is a push-button style that takes practice to operate smoothly compared to a traditional thumb latch.

The Tracker 992 offers the unique advantage of dual-caliber capability at a lower price point than both the Ruger and Smith & Wesson. The Ruger SP-101 is heavier-duty but limited to .22 LR. The Smith & Wesson 617 holds one more round but costs nearly double and doesn’t include .22 WMR. If you want one revolver for training and hunting, the Taurus is the most versatile and budget-friendly choice.
FAQ
Does the Taurus Tracker 992 come with both cylinders?
Yes. The revolver ships with two cylinders—one for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR. Each cylinder holds nine rounds. Switching them requires no tools; just open the cylinder, press the release, and slide the new one in.
Can I use this revolver for concealed carry?
It’s possible, but the Tracker 992 is a medium-frame revolver weighing 31 ounces, so it’s better suited for range use, hunting, or home defense than daily concealed carry. If you’re looking for a lighter .22 for pocket carry, consider a snub-nose model instead.
How do I clean the dual-cylinder system?
Clean each cylinder separately after use. Remove the cylinder from the frame, wipe down the chambers and the outside with a solvent-soaked patch, then lightly oil the cylinder’s center pin and the frame’s cylinder gap. Reassemble and check for smooth rotation.
Is the Taurus Tracker 992 accurate at 25 yards?
Yes. With the adjustable rear sight and 4.0″ barrel, most shooters can achieve 2–3 inch groups at 25 yards using quality .22 WMR ammunition. .22 LR groups are slightly wider due to lower velocity. The fixed front sight is a blade design that works well with the rear notch.
