The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite: Compact Defense Revolver
The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite represents a thoughtful approach to personal defense—a small-frame revolver engineered for those who demand reliability without compromise on portability.
Design and Construction
This six-shot revolver chambers the .38 Special cartridge, a proven round for defensive work. The 2-inch barrel strikes an intelligent balance between sight radius and concealability. The aluminum frame keeps overall weight to a mere 15.7 ounces, making this revolver genuinely easy to carry for extended periods.
The matte stainless steel finish resists corrosion while the gold accents provide visual distinction. Black finger-grooved rubber grips ensure a secure purchase under stress.
Operational Features
- Double/Single Action: Offers flexibility in deployment—double action for the first shot, single action for faster follow-ups
- Transfer Bar Safety: Prevents accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped
- Exposed Hammer: Allows for traditional single-action operation when needed
- Manageable Recoil: The .38 Special round, particularly in lighter target loads, produces recoil that most shooters can control effectively
Practical Considerations
The 856 Ultra Lite excels as a backup gun, off-duty carry piece, or primary defensive tool for those who value simplicity and reliability. Its compact dimensions suit both on-body and off-body carry methods. The revolver's straightforward operation—point, press trigger, repeat—requires minimal training to master.
Whether for home defense or personal protection, the Taurus 856 Ultra Lite delivers genuine peace of mind in a package you'll actually carry.
