About the Taurus 856 .38 Special

This Taurus 856 is a small-frame revolver chambered in .38 Special. It holds six rounds, which is one more than many comparable snub-nose revolvers. The action is single/double, allowing for both precise single-action firing and quick double-action use. The frame is made from steel, contributing to its 1.375 Lbs. weight. This model has a stainless finish, which provides a classic look.

The 2-inch barrel makes this revolver compact. It is designed for easy concealment and quick handling. This configuration is suitable for first-time handgun owners, as a backup carry option, or for home defense.

Other Taurus 856 Models

The Taurus 856 family includes several configurations. This stainless 2-inch model is one of many variations available. We also offer models like the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special +P Revolver, 2", which is designed for reduced weight. For those seeking a different aesthetic, options like the Taurus Model 856 .38 Special 2" Matte Natural Anodized, 6-Shot are available. Some models, such as the Taurus 856 Executive Grade 38 Special +P, 3", feature a longer 3-inch barrel, which can offer a different balance and sight radius. There are also models with different finishes, including various Cerakote options and matte stainless. While most 856 models hold six rounds, some older or different model lines, like the Taurus M85 Protector Poly .38 Special 2", 5-Shot, may have a 5-round capacity. This specific revolver, with its steel frame and stainless finish, offers a different balance and feel compared to the ultra-lite versions.
