Taurus 856
About the Taurus 856
The Taurus 856 is Taurus’s most popular small-frame .38 Special +P revolver, with a 2" or 3" barrel and a 6-round cylinder — one more round than most snub-nose revolvers in this class. It’s offered in an unusually wide range of configurations, including Ultra-Lite versions, night sights, and even a factory-integrated laser sight. Ask Miami Guns which 856 configuration — standard, Ultra-Lite, or laser-equipped — they currently have in stock.
