About the Taurus 856 Ultra Lite

The Taurus 856 family of revolvers is designed to hold six rounds of .38 Special +P ammunition. This capacity is one more round than many other small, snub-nose revolvers. The 856 platform is suitable for new gun owners, for use as a backup firearm, or as a home defense option. This particular model features a Cerakote Charcoal Green finish and a matte black cylinder finish.

The 856 Ultra Lite has an aluminum frame, contributing to its unloaded weight of 16.00 oz. It operates in both double-action/single-action (DA/SA) modes. The barrel measures 2.00 inches, and the overall length is 6.55 inches. Sighting is handled by a removable serrated blade front sight and a fixed rear sight. A transfer bar safety is included.
