Taurus 850 38 Special 3" 5-Rd DAO Revolver - Matte Stainless

The Taurus 850 is a compact, five-shot 38 Special double-action-only revolver purpose-built for everyday concealed carry and personal defense. Built around Taurus' classic small-frame platform, the 850 pairs a fully shrouded (concealed) hammer with a smooth double-action-only trigger, delivering a snag-free draw from cover and one of the simplest, safest trigger systems available in a carry revolver.

Chambered in 38 Special, this variant rides a clean 3" barrel of matte-finished stainless steel mated to a matching matte stainless steel cylinder for a corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance package. The cylinder holds 5 rounds and, with a modest 24 oz carry weight and an overall length of just 7.65", the 850 slips easily into a strong-side or pocket holster without sacrificing a steady aim. A built-in transfer-bar safety blocks the firing pin from contacting a live cartridge until the trigger is fully depressed, adding a critical margin of safety during daily carry.

The matte stainless small frame shrugs off holster wear and weather, while contoured black rubber grips deliver a secure, comfortable hold under recoil. Target acquisition is handled by a classic, time-tested sight picture: a removable serrated blade front sight paired with a fixed rear sight - well suited to defensive shooting at household distances and quick follow-ups.

Whether carried as a primary concealed-carry piece, a backup to a larger sidearm, or simply kept ready at home, the Taurus 850 channels the proven small-frame revolver formula into a modern, easy-to-live-with package built for reliability.
