The Taurus 856 2-85629ULC22CH is a compact revolver designed for convenient on-body carry, off-body carry, and home-defense applications. Chambered in .38 Special +P, this six-shot revolver combines a lightweight aluminum frame with a durable matte stainless cylinder and barrel finish. Its compact configuration supports practical handling while maintaining the familiar simplicity and reliability of a revolver platform.
The Taurus 856 features a double-action/single-action operating system, allowing users to choose between a deliberate double-action trigger pull or a lighter single-action operation when appropriate. A concealed hammer helps reduce snag points during carry, while the transfer bar safety provides an additional layer of protection against unintended discharge when the revolver is handled properly. The fixed rear sight and removable serrated blade front sight provide a straightforward sighting setup for everyday use.
Black Ribber grips provide a secure, comfortable hold and help manage felt recoil during repeated practice or defensive shooting. The aluminum frame contributes to the revolver’s easy-carry design, while the matte stainless components offer a practical finish for regular use. With its traditional revolver controls, .38 Special +P chambering, and balanced combination of portability and durability, the Taurus 856 is suited to experienced firearm owners seeking a compact defensive revolver. Follow all applicable laws, use appropriate eye and ear protection, and store the firearm unloaded and secured when not in use.
