Its small-frame configuration supports easy carry, while the exposed combat hammer provides a traditional revolver profile and versatile operation. This firearm is identified by Taurus part number 285631ULNS.
Equipped with a 3-inch blued barrel and black Hogue rubber grips, the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite Defender offers a balanced feel and a secure grip during handling.
