This Model vs. Other 856 Versions

This specific Taurus Model 856 features a 2-inch barrel and a 6-round capacity. Other versions in the 856 family offer variations in finish, barrel length, and other features. For example, we also carry the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special +P Revolver, 2", which offers a lighter frame. If you are looking for a longer barrel, consider the Taurus 856 Executive Grade 38 Special +P, 3". There are also models with different cosmetic finishes, such as the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special 2" Cerakote Tungsten, 6-Shot or the Taurus 856 Defender .38 Special 2" Rose Gold, 6-Shot. For a different grip style, the Taurus 856 Vz Cyclone Grip .38 Special 2", 6-Shot is available. Note that some models, like the Taurus M85 Protector Poly .38 Special 2", 5-Shot and the Taurus 85 .38 Special 2.5", 5-Shot, offer a 5-shot capacity instead of 6 rounds.
