Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer 38 Special +P 2" 6-Shot DAO Revolver - Matte Stainless

The Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer is a purpose-built small-frame revolver chambered in 38 Special +P, designed for discreet everyday carry and dependable home defense. It carries six rounds in its cylinder paired with a compact 2-inch barrel and an overall length of just 6.55 inches, giving it one of the smallest footprints in the Taurus six-shot revolver lineup.

The 856CH uses a double-action-only (DAO) trigger paired with a concealed hammer, eliminating the external spur to prevent snagging on cover garments during the draw. A simple ramp front sight and fixed rear sight provide a snag-free aiming picture suited to close-range defensive work. The frame, cylinder, and barrel are all finished in matte stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a low-glare profile.

Shooters get a black finger-grooved rubber grip that fills the hand, secures the wrist under recoil, and helps tame +P loads. An integrated transfer bar safety prevents firing unless the trigger is fully pressed, adding a critical layer of security during carry. At 22 ounces unloaded, the 856 balances carry-friendly weight with the controllability needed for accurate follow-up shots.

Built on Taurus's proven small-frame revolver platform, the 856 Concealed Hammer is a smart pick for revolver shooters who want a no-snag concealed-carry piece that handles light target loads through full-power 38 Special +P defensive ammunition with equal ease.
