The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite revolver combines a compact small-frame design with dependable .38 Special performance. Part number 2856021ULCH features a durable anodized matte black finish across the aluminum frame and a matte black cylinder for a streamlined, low-profile appearance. Its double-action-only operation provides a straightforward manual of arms, making this revolver well suited for lawful personal protection, training, and general range use.
The lightweight aluminum frame helps make the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite comfortable to carry, while the black finger-grooved polymer grips provide a secure and controlled hold. The exposed combat-style hammer and combat trigger are designed for practical operation. A transfer-bar safety helps prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is properly actuated, adding an important layer of mechanical safety when the revolver is handled responsibly.
The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite uses a six-shot cylinder chambered in .38 Special and includes fixed sights for a simple, durable aiming system. The serrated ramp front sight helps reduce glare, while the fixed rear sight supports consistent alignment without adjustable components that can shift during use. As a Taurus revolver, this model is built for users seeking a practical combination of compact handling, corrosion-resistant finish, familiar controls, and reliable centerfire revolver operation. Always follow applicable federal, state, and local laws, and observe all firearm safety practices when storing, transporting, handling, or using this firearm.
