The Taurus 856 is a .38 Special revolver designed for dependable performance in a practical, easy-to-manage configuration. This model features a two-tone matte finish with a black and stainless appearance, providing a distinctive look while helping reduce glare during use. Its traditional revolver design offers straightforward operation and a familiar manual of arms for qualified users who value simplicity and reliable handling.
The Taurus 856 uses a double-action/single-action trigger system. Double-action operation supports efficient firing without manually cocking the hammer before each shot, while single-action operation allows the hammer to be cocked for a lighter, more deliberate trigger pull when appropriate. The six-round cylinder provides a balanced combination of capacity and compact revolver proportions, and the .38 Special chambering is widely recognized for its versatility and broad ammunition availability.
This revolver is equipped with a serrated ramp front sight and fixed rear sight. Together, these sights provide a clear, consistent aiming reference for practical shooting applications. The wood 1776 grips add a classic appearance and complete the model’s distinctive presentation. The Taurus 856, part number 2-85625-US3, is a suitable choice for responsible firearm owners seeking a traditional .38 Special revolver with modern Taurus construction and useful sight features. Handle and store the firearm responsibly, follow all manufacturer instructions, and comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Firearms should only be used by individuals who are legally permitted and properly trained to operate them.
