Does anyone have experience with the Tarus 8-shot .22 mag revolver?

The new 942?
no.
But the 992 is/was Taurus's work on 22 on a larger frame. Might want to read up on the 992 and see if you think Taurus will have better success with 22 on a smaller frame.
no.

Don't ya just love it when someone who knows better, try's to put you in your place !!! ....
New brands show up all the time. Girsan, Canik, Laugo, Radical Firearms, SAR, Zastava, SCCY Tisas, and probably a whole lot more have been introduced to us in recent years.
If the OP meant Taurus, it is their responsibility to spell it right. Misspelling it once suggests its a typo, Misspelling it twice means I might be wrong to assume it’s Taurus. It could be a new brand. That’s why I asked. If that bothers you, too bad.

I haven't shot the new 942. I own a Taurus 94 in .22 LR, that I have owned for probably close to 20 years. As the author of the above review suggested, the trigger was "abysmal." I fixed mine (making it not "good," but "less horrible") with a spring kit from Wolf Gunsprings. The reviewer seems to think the new 942 has a better trigger, which -- IMHO -- would be important.
Other than the trigger, my Taurus 94 has been a good gun. Even with a reduced-weight hammer spring it sets off every brand of ammunition I have run through it.

I've had the 942 (LR, not mag) on my list since before the pandemic and they've been MIA ever since. A few show up on the gunbroker, but at prices way above what I think they're worth.
If the triggers are above average for a .22 revolver, that is music to my ears. Now if only I could get one for a normal price...
