The Taurus 856 is a compact six-shot .38 Special revolver designed for convenient carry, range use, and home defense. Its double-action/single-action operation allows a deliberate single-action trigger press or faster double-action follow-up shots. The two-inch barrel supports a compact profile, while the serrated front sight and fixed rear sight provide a straightforward aiming system. Soft rubber grips help make the revolver comfortable to handle during extended practice sessions, and the matte black finish provides a low-glare appearance.
