Taurus recently introduced the new 856 into their expansive revolver line. The DA/SA action and 2-inch barrel on the 856 optimizes on-body or off-body carry, and home defense usage.

The 856 is a reliable 6-shot .38 Special revolver that features soft rubber grips, making it comfortable to shoot at the range while the double/single action increases speed and accuracy for follow up shots. The 856 is offered in either a matte black or matte stainless finish. Known for its easily managed recoil impulse, the .38 Special round of the 856 can accommodate ammunition ranging from light target loads to self-defense rounds.
