Introducing the Taurus Model 856, a modern revolver designed with precision, reliability, and versatility in mind. First released in 2018, this firearm is a refined evolution of the earlier Model 85 series, offering enhanced features for self-defense and concealed carry enthusiasts. Chambered in .38 Special, this revolver boasts a six-round capacity—one round more than traditional five-shot revolvers—delivering a balance of power and convenience. The double-action/single-action (DA/SA) mechanism provides flexibility, allowing for both double-action trigger pulls and lighter single-action firing. With a sleek matte black finish, this revolver is as durable as it is discreet, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a reliable personal defense weapon (PDW).
The Taurus Model 856 is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. Expect minimal scratching and blemishing, with a well-maintained bore and good rifling to ensure accuracy. The revolver includes Taurus's checkered rubber grip for enhanced handling and control, along with a front ramp and grooved rear sight for improved target acquisition. With a full rib and full lug barrel design, the Model 856 exudes both performance and style.
Designed in Brazil, the Taurus Model 856 stands out for its modern take on the classic snub-nose revolver design. The .38 Special chambering offers manageable recoil with effective stopping power, catering to both self-defense and target shooting needs. Its compact 3" barrel and robust build make it easy to carry, while the non-reflective matte finish ensures stealth and longevity. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer looking for a dependable firearm, the Taurus Model 856 is a top-tier choice that combines tradition with innovation.
