Taurus 856 .38 Special +P 2" 6-Shot DAO Revolver - Matte Walnut

The Taurus 856 is a compact .38 Special +P revolver built around a small frame and a short 2-inch barrel, sized for everyday concealed carry and reliable personal-defense use. The 856 keeps operation simple with a smooth double-action-only trigger pull and a concealed hammer, so there is nothing to cock and nothing to snag on clothing during the draw.

Built on a durable stainless steel frame with a low-glare matte black finish, this 856 holds 6 rounds of .38 Special (or +P) ammunition in its easy-to-load cylinder. Fixed iron sights sit at the front and rear of the barrel for fast, intuitive target acquisition, and the trigger is tuned for a consistent double-action press every time. Traditional matte walnut wood grips fill the hand comfortably and give this carry revolver a classic, refined look.

At just 22 ounces unloaded and approximately 10.05" overall, the 856 rides light for all-day carry and disappears easily under a cover garment. The stainless steel frame offers strong corrosion resistance for daily use, and the 6-shot cylinder is straightforward to load and unload with the swing-out design. Whether you need a discreet revolver for the nightstand, the car, or inside-the-waistband carry, the Taurus 856 delivers capable performance in a practical, easy-shooting package.
