Taurus 856 .38 Special 2" Stainless Steel Revolver

Taurus 856: Practical Concealed Carry Revolver

The Taurus 856 represents a straightforward approach to personal defense—a compact, reliable revolver built for those who value simplicity and dependability.

Key Features

• Caliber: .38 Special—a proven cartridge with manageable recoil and proven stopping power
• Barrel Length: 2 inches for maximum concealability without sacrificing practical accuracy
• Capacity: Six-round cylinder provides adequate ammunition for defensive situations
• Construction: Stainless steel frame and cylinder resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance
• Hammer: Concealed hammer design prevents snagging on clothing during draw and reduces accidental discharge risk

Why the 856 Works

This revolver eliminates the complexity of semi-automatic firearms. No magazines to manage, no manual safeties to manipulate under stress. Simply draw and fire. The concealed hammer allows for smooth presentation from pocket or waistband holsters, making it an excellent choice for deep concealment carry.

The stainless steel construction means this revolver will serve you reliably whether carried daily or stored for emergencies. The 2-inch barrel balances shootability with concealability—short enough to disappear in a pocket holster, long enough to deliver accurate fire at defensive distances.

Ideal For

Both experienced shooters seeking a backup weapon and newcomers to firearms who prefer revolver simplicity over semi-automatic operation.
