The Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer revolver combines a compact profile with dependable double-action-only operation. Chambered in .38 Special and equipped with a six-round cylinder, this revolver is designed for straightforward handling and practical everyday carry applications. The small carbon steel frame features a matte black finish for a subdued appearance and durable surface protection.
The 2-inch carbon steel barrel and matte black cylinder complement the revolver’s compact configuration. A concealed hammer helps reduce the chance of snagging on clothing or gear during presentation, while the transfer bar safety provides an added layer of protection against accidental discharge when the revolver is handled properly. The fixed ramp front sight and fixed rear sight offer a simple, durable sighting arrangement.
Black finger-groove rubber grips provide a secure, comfortable hold and help manage recoil during range use. The combat-style trigger supports consistent double-action operation, and the steel frame delivers a solid feel while keeping the revolver suitable for users seeking a compact platform. As a Taurus firearm, the 856 offers a practical combination of traditional revolver design, modern safety features, and concealed-hammer functionality.
