The Taurus 856 is a compact six-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special and configured with a 2-inch barrel for convenient carry and home-defense use. Its double-action and single-action trigger system supports a deliberate first shot or a lighter single-action trigger for precise follow-up shots. The soft rubber grip helps improve comfort and control, while the manageable recoil of .38 Special accommodates a broad range of target and defensive loads. A removable serrated front sight and fixed rear notch provide a practical sight picture for everyday use.
