Executive Grade Features

This revolver features a 3.00-inch barrel and an overall length of 7.50 inches. It weighs 25.00 ounces unloaded. The frame is constructed from stainless steel with a hand-polished satin finish. The cylinder also has a hand-polished satin finish. Sights include a serrated, removable front sight and a fixed rear sight. The action is DAO (Double Action Only), and it includes a transfer bar safety mechanism.

Comparing with Other 856 Models

The 856 Executive Grade stands out from other Taurus 856 models we offer due to its hand-finishing and tuning. While we carry other 856 models like the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special +P Revolver with a 2-inch barrel and various finishes such as Matte Natural Anodized, Matte Stainless, and Cerakote options, the Executive Grade focuses on enhanced internal mechanics and cosmetic refinement. Many other 856 versions are available in 2-inch barrel lengths, while this Executive Grade model features a 3-inch barrel. We also offer standard 856 models with 3-inch barrels, including the Black/Tungsten and Matte Stainless finishes, but these do not feature the Executive Grade's specific tuning or hand-polished finishes.
