The Taurus 856 .38 Special 3" Stainless Steel, 6-Shot revolver offers a blend of capacity and a slightly longer sight radius in a compact package. This model is chambered for .38 Special and holds 6 rounds, which is one more than many other small-frame revolvers in its class.

The Taurus 856 Family

The Taurus 856 line provides a small-frame revolver design that chamber six rounds of 38 Special +P. This capacity sets it apart from many snub-nose competitors that typically hold five rounds. This configuration is suitable for first-time gun owners due to its simple operation. It can also serve as a backup carry option or a reliable firearm for home defense.

This particular 856 model features a 3-inch barrel and a stainless steel finish. Other versions in the 856 family include models like the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special +P Revolver with a 2-inch barrel, or the Taurus 856 Executive Grade 38 Special +P, which also has a 3-inch barrel. For those seeking different aesthetics, there are options such as the Taurus 856 .38 Special 2" Matte Natural Anodized or the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special 2" Cerakote Tungsten. The Taurus 856 Defender series offers models like the .38 Special 2" Rose Gold or the 3" Matte Stainless. The Taurus 856 T.O.R.O. .38 Special 3" is also available within this product line.
