Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite Double-Action Revolver with Concealed Hammer has an easy-wearing, low-print profile that packs a punch, with a full 6-round cylinder. The 856 Ultra-Lite features an alloy frame, and a carbon steel barrel, and cylinder. The exterior metal has a matte finish. Textured, rubber grips absorb recoil and enhance user control. A fixed, ramp front sight and a fixed, groove rear sight acquire quickly, and interfere minimally when drawing the weapon from a holster, pocket, or purse. A concealed hammer allows you to fire instinctively in double-action operation. A transfer bar safety mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear. The 856 Ultra-Lite Double-Action Revolver is an affordable and reliable self-defense gun that's easy to learn how to operate, and quick to deploy in an emergency.
