The Taurus Executive Grade 856: Refined Concealed-Carry Revolver

The 856 Executive Grade represents thoughtful engineering applied to a proven platform. This is a revolver designed for those who understand that a defensive firearm must balance capability with everyday practicality.

Construction and Finish

All-stainless-steel construction throughout the frame, barrel, and cylinder provides genuine corrosion resistance—not merely cosmetic appeal. The hand-polished satin finish serves a dual purpose: it delivers a refined appearance while offering genuine functional benefits. The silky finish reduces friction during the draw from leather or clothing and simplifies field maintenance when conditions demand it.

Ergonomics and Control

The premium Altamont walnut grip is more than decoration. Checkered panels and an intelligently contoured profile ensure positive retention and control during defensive presentations. The concealed hammer eliminates snag points during the draw—a critical feature for any carry revolver.
