Key Features

• Caliber & Capacity: .38 Special with 6-round cylinder

Why Choose the 856

The revolver remains one of the most reliable firearms ever designed. With no magazines to lose, no complex mechanisms to fail, and straightforward operation, the 856 offers peace of mind. The .38 Special cartridge has proven itself effective for decades, and the 6-round capacity provides adequate firepower for defensive use.

The 3-inch barrel strikes a practical balance. It's short enough for concealed carry, yet long enough to deliver good velocity and sight radius. Night sights ensure you can aim effectively in dim conditions—a critical advantage in real-world scenarios.

The Hogue grip transforms the shooting experience. Its ergonomic design reduces felt recoil and improves control, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate.

A Solid Choice

Whether you're new to firearms or an experienced shooter seeking a dependable backup, the Taurus 856 delivers honest performance without unnecessary complexity.
