Taurus 856 Features The Taurus 856 is a 6-shot small-frame revolver chambered in .38 Special +P built on a matte stainless steel frame and cylinder with a 2 stainless barrel featuring a 1:16.5 right-hand twist and 6 grooves for consistent bullet stabilization across a wide range of .38 Special ammunition from light target loads to full-power defensive rounds. The double/single action trigger mechanism allows shooters to choose between a deliberate DA pull for defensive point-shooting or a lighter SA break for precise aimed fire making the 856 equally at home in competition training and real-world self-defense scenarios. For concealed carry practitioners and personal defense shooters who want a compact stainless revolver with predictable handling and the versatility to run +P ammunition the Taurus 856 delivers dependable performance in a familiar 6-round package. The 856 s transfer bar safety ensures the revolver cannot discharge without a complete trigger pull and the exposed hammer provides the option for deliberate single-action shooting when time and the scenario allow for it. A removable serrated blade front sight and fixed rear provide a clean snag-reduced sight picture suited to defensive draw and presentation while the 1.38 lb overall weight and small frame keep the revolver comfortable for all-day carry in an IWB or pocket holster. The Taurus 856 in .38 Special +P is available for sale at GrabAGun for shooters who want a proven accurate and easy-to-control stainless steel carry revolver with the capacity and chambering to handle any self-defense scenario.
