Why Choose the 856

The concealed hammer configuration makes this revolver ideal for pocket carry or appendix carry. The 38 Special cartridge offers proven stopping power with manageable recoil, making it suitable for shooters of all experience levels. Stainless steel construction ensures the gun will hold up to daily use and varied weather conditions.

Practical Considerations

This is a no-frills defensive tool. The short barrel trades velocity for portability, and the 6-shot capacity is standard for this class of revolver. The double-action trigger requires proper training but offers a consistent, predictable press. This is a gun that rewards practice and delivers results when it matters.
