The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite: Serious Concealed Carry in a Lightweight Package
The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite Concealed Hammer revolver represents a thoughtful approach to personal defense. This is a gun designed by people who understand that concealed carry demands compromise—and who have worked to minimize it.
Design and Concealability
The concealed hammer design is not mere fashion. It serves a practical purpose: eliminating snags on clothing during the draw and reducing the overall profile when carried. The small frame and 2-inch barrel create a package that disappears in a waistband holster or jacket pocket. At 15.7 ounces, the Ultra Lite designation is no marketing exaggeration—this revolver will not fatigue you through a day of carry.

Why the .38 Special +P?
The .38 Special cartridge has earned its place in defensive handguns through decades of real-world use.

The 856's manageable recoil impulse makes follow-up shots fast and accurate—a critical advantage in a defensive scenario.
A Revolver for Serious Use
This is not a gun for the range only. The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite is purpose-built for concealed carry and home defense. The double/single action allows you to carry with the hammer down on a loaded chamber—safe, reliable, and instantly ready. The fixed sights are adequate for defensive distances.
