Part Number 285639ULNS features a small stainless steel frame with a matte finish, an exposed combat-style hammer, and a six-shot cylinder. Its single-action/double-action operation provides flexibility for deliberate fire or rapid follow-up shots, while the compact format supports convenient handling in a variety of carry and storage configurations.
The revolver is equipped with a 3-inch stainless-finished barrel and fixed night sights that help provide a visible aiming reference in reduced-light conditions. Black Hogue rubber grips offer a secure, comfortable interface during operation, and the combat trigger is designed for consistent control. With an ultra-light construction weighing approximately 16 ounces, the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite Defender balances portability with the familiar operation of a traditional double-action revolver.
