Variants:

The Taurus 856 is available in several variants, each with slightly different features:
Standard 856: Features a 2-inch barrel and is available in various finishes like matte black or matte stainless steel with rubber grips.
Ultra-Lite (UL) Models: Utilize an aluminum alloy frame to reduce weight significantly (down to around 15.7 ounces for a 2-inch model), making it even easier for all-day concealed carry, though with slightly sharper felt recoil.
Defender 856: Features a 3-inch barrel, which provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy and better velocity for defensive ammunition. It often includes upgraded sights like tritium night sights.
Executive Grade: A premium, hand-built version with a polished satin finish, a 3-inch barrel, and Altamont walnut grips. Some Executive Grade models feature a double-action-only (DAO) trigger and a snag-free, concealed hammer design for seamless draws.
T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optics Ready Option): Some Defender models are available as the first-ever factory optics-ready small-frame revolvers, allowing for the mounting of micro red dot sights.
