Overview

Taurus 856 Features The Taurus 856 is built around a matte stainless steel barrel and frame paired with a black alloy steel cylinder for a striking two-tone finish that balances classic revolver aesthetics with hard-use durability. A transfer bar safety provides reliable drop protection without affecting the trigger pull while an exposed hammer gives shooters the option of precise single-action fire when accuracy is paramount. The double/single-action trigger is finely tuned for smooth consistent performance across both defensive and deliberate shooting scenarios. This compact .38 Special carry revolver features black G10 grips that provide an aggressive secure hold in any condition paired with a removable serrated blade front sight and fixed notch rear sight for fast reliable target acquisition. At 22 oz with a 6.55-inch overall length and 1.41-inch width the 856 disappears in a pocket IWB holster or ankle rig without sacrificing the 6-shot capacity needed for confident personal defense. Six grooves and a 1:16.5 twist rate round out a well-engineered carry package that performs when it matters most. Taurus has been producing reliable duty-grade revolvers for decades with the 856 series standing as one of their most trusted and proven compact platforms. Finely tuned to deliver consistent performance in real-world defensive situations the 856 upholds Taurus s Zero Tolerance standard for fit function and reliability in every unit that leaves the factory. The G10 grip variant elevates the platform with a premium grip material that offers superior texture retention and durability compared to conventional rubber or polymer alternatives.
