Lightweight 6-shot revolver with soft rubber grips, double/single action, and removable serrated front sight. Matte stainless finish handles target loads through self-defense ammunition with manageable recoil.
The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite represents a thoughtful approach to personal defense and everyday carry. At just 16 ounces, this compact revolver delivers genuine utility without unnecessary weight.
The 856 Ultra Lite features a 2-inch barrel paired with a matte stainless steel finish that resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. The aluminum frame keeps weight minimal, while the stainless steel cylinder and barrel ensure durability under regular use.
The .38 Special +P chambering accommodates everything from light target loads for practice to modern self-defense ammunition. This flexibility makes the 856 suitable for both range work and defensive deployment.
With an overall length of 6.55 inches and height of 4.80 inches, the 856 Ultra Lite fits inside-the-waistband holsters and ankle rigs with equal competence. The narrow 1.41-inch width minimizes printing under clothing.
This is a revolver built for those who value reliability, simplicity, and genuine portability.
