The Taurus 856 family of revolvers is known for fitting six rounds of .38 Special +P into a small frame. This capacity is one more round than many other snub-nose revolvers. This design makes it suitable for individuals seeking a simple, reliable handgun for various uses, including first-time owners and those looking for a backup carry option or a nightstand gun.
The Taurus 856 series includes many configurations. This particular model features a Matte Black finish. Other versions in the line include different finishes and barrel lengths. For example, we also offer the Taurus 856 Executive Grade 38 Special +P, 3" and the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special 2" Matte Stainless, 6-Shot. There are also models with specialized grips, such as the Taurus 856 Vz Cyclone Grip .38 Special 2", 6-Shot, and California-compliant options like the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite *CA Compliant .38 Special 2" Matte Natural Anodized, 6-Shot. Some models, such as the Taurus M85 Protector Poly .38 Special 2", 5-Shot, have a five-shot capacity, differing from this model's six rounds. The variety within the 856 family allows buyers to choose a model that fits their specific needs.
