Taurus 856 38 Special 2" 6-Shot DA/SA Revolver - Matte Black

The Taurus 856 is a compact, six-shot .38 Special revolver purpose-built for concealed carry, on-body or off-body use, and home defense. Built on a small carbon steel frame, it pairs a short 2-inch barrel with a 6-round cylinder, making it an ideal deep-carry or backup-gun platform that disappears in the waistband yet remains quick to deploy.

The 856 runs in a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) configuration with an exposed hammer for crisp single-action trigger pulls when you want them, and smooth double-action follow-up shots when you do not. A transfer bar safety provides drop-safe carry, so the revolver can ride in a pocket, holster, or bag with confidence. Sighting consists of a ramp front sight and a fixed rear notch, giving snag-free, no-fuss aiming that draws cleanly under a cover garment.

All major metalwork wears a low-glare matte black finish across the barrel, cylinder, and frame. Handling is anchored by ergonomic brown VZ Cyclone grips that fill the hand and hold secure during rapid strings of fire. Overall length is just 6.55" and the revolver weighs only 22 oz, keeping it comfortable for all-day carry without weighing down a belt or pocket.
