The Taurus 856 2-85629-CK2 is a compact six-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special +P. Designed for dependable performance and practical handling, this model combines a stainless steel frame with matte-finished metalwork for a durable, low-maintenance setup. Its small-frame configuration makes it well suited for range use, training, and personal protection applications where a straightforward revolver platform is preferred.
The 856 uses a double-action/single-action operating system, allowing the shooter to choose between a deliberate single-action trigger press and a faster double-action pull for follow-up shots. The exposed hammer provides visible operating status and supports single-action use when desired. Chambering is compatible with a broad selection of .38 Special ammunition, including lighter target loads and +P defensive loads when appropriate for the firearm and ammunition manufacturer’s specifications.
A removable serrated front blade and fixed rear sight provide a practical sighting arrangement intended to support consistent alignment in a variety of lighting conditions. The matte cylinder and barrel finishes help reduce glare while complementing the stainless steel frame. With its familiar revolver controls, six-round capacity, and manageable recoil characteristics, the Taurus 856 offers an accessible option for shooters seeking a reliable small-frame revolver from a recognized brand.
