Taurus 856: Practical Revolver Reliability
The Taurus 856 represents a straightforward approach to personal defense—a six-shot revolver built on proven revolver principles that have served armed citizens for generations.
Key Features
- Caliber & Capacity: 38 Special with six-round cylinder
- Barrel Length: 3-inch barrel for balance between velocity and concealability
- Construction: Stainless steel frame and cylinder for corrosion resistance
- Sights: Night sights for low-light shooting situations
- Grip: Hogue rubber grip for control and comfort during extended shooting sessions
Why Choose a Revolver?
The revolver remains a time-tested choice for self-defense. The 856's simple mechanical operation requires no complex manual of arms—point, press the trigger, and it fires. The six-shot capacity provides adequate defensive ammunition, and the 38 Special cartridge delivers proven stopping power in a manageable package.
Practical Considerations
The 3-inch barrel strikes an effective compromise: long enough to generate useful velocity from 38 Special loads, yet short enough for practical carry in various holster systems. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion from daily carry environments. Night sights allow target acquisition in dim conditions, and the Hogue grip ensures positive control under stress.
This is a revolver for those who value simplicity, reliability, and proven design over modern tactical complexity.
