The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite is a compact six-shot double-action revolver designed for discreet carry and practical everyday use. Its small metal frame combines lightweight alloy construction with a matte Stainless/Silver finish, while the 2-inch barrel keeps the revolver easy to draw and maneuver. Chambered in .38 Special, it features fixed 3-Dot sights and VZ synthetic grips that provide a secure, comfortable hold. A transfer-bar safety helps prevent an unintended discharge unless the trigger is deliberately pressed.
