Description:
Guns Listing ID: 627166



The Taurus 856 is a compact, double-action/single-action revolver designed for personal defense and everyday carry. Chambered in .38 Special (including +P-rated models), it offers a balanced combination of manageable recoil, reliable performance, and practical stopping power. With a 6-round capacity—one more than many traditional small-frame revolvers—it provides added confidence without significantly increasing size or weight.

Built on a small steel frame, the Taurus 856 typically features a 2-inch barrel, making it well-suited for concealed carry. Its compact profile allows it to fit comfortably in holsters designed for discreet inside-the-waistband or pocket carry, while the ergonomic rubber grip helps control recoil and maintain a secure hold during rapid follow-up shots.

The revolver operates with a smooth double-action trigger pull for defensive readiness, along with a single-action option that allows for a lighter, more precise trigger break when needed. Fixed sights are standard on most models, optimized for close-range defensive scenarios. Variants are available in multiple finishes, including matte stainless, blued steel, and modern Cerakote options, giving owners both functional durability and aesthetic choice.

Simplicity is one of the Taurus 856’s defining strengths. With no external safeties to manipulate and a straightforward manual of arms, it is easy to operate under stress. Its durable construction, compact dimensions, and practical capacity make it a popular choice for new gun owners and experienced shooters alike seeking a dependable defensive revolver.
