Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special +P 2" 6-Shot DA/SA Revolver - CA Compliant

The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite is a compact, lightweight 6-shot double-action/single-action revolver chambered in 38 Special +P. Built around a small aluminum frame to keep carry weight down, this Ultra-Lite variant tips the scales at just 15.7 oz while retaining the snub-nosed handling that has made the 856 a popular concealed-carry choice.

The 2" barrel and 6.50" overall length make this an easy on-body or off-body carry piece, while the DA/SA action lets you choose between a smooth double-action trigger pull or a short, crisp single-action press. An exposed hammer allows easy single-action cocking and de-cocking, and the revolver is sighted with a ramp front paired with a fixed rear for fast, intuitive target acquisition.

A matte stainless finish on the barrel and cylinder resists corrosion and glare, while the black finger-grooved rubber grips provide a secure, comfortable hold at the range. This is the CA-compliant configuration of the 856 Ultra-Lite, built to meet California sale requirements.

Taurus designed the 856 Ultra-Lite for personal defense and concealed carry, but it also makes a capable home-defense revolver thanks to its manageable recoil, simple manual of arms, and proven .38 Special +P chambering.
