Why Choose the 856 Concealed Hammer?

The concealed hammer design eliminates snags on clothing during the draw—a critical advantage in high-stress situations. The matte stainless finish resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. At just 22 ounces, this revolver won't weigh you down during all-day carry.

The .38 Special +P chambering offers versatility. You can load light target rounds for practice or select modern self-defense ammunition for serious protection. The double/single action trigger allows fast follow-up shots when needed.

With its small frame and 2-inch barrel, the 856 Concealed Hammer prints minimally under clothing and fits comfortably in pocket holsters, ankle rigs, or inside-the-waistband carriers. The soft rubber grips absorb recoil effectively, making this revolver pleasant to shoot despite its compact size.

This is a revolver built for people who value simplicity, reliability, and discretion in their personal defense tool.
