Finished in matte black, the Taurus 856 combines aesthetic appeal with functionality. The steel frame construction ensures durability and longevity, while the Turkish walnut grips not only add a touch of elegance but also provide a comfortable and firm grip, enhancing control and accuracy. The revolver's compact size, with a 2-inch barrel and an overall length of 6.6 inches, makes it an ideal choice for concealed carry without compromising on firepower, thanks to its 6-round capacity.
Fixed sights, including a serrated ramp front sight and a fixed rear sight, offer quick and intuitive target acquisition. Weighing in at 22 oz., the Taurus 856 is lightweight enough for comfortable all-day carry but still offers the stability needed for effective use. The inclusion of a transfer bar safety feature adds an extra layer of security, preventing accidental discharge unless the trigger is fully pulled.
