The 856 is a six-shot small-frame revolver with a clockwise-opening swing-out cylinder. It runs in double-action/single-action and uses a transfer bar safety system, with a smooth-face trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur for confident cocking.
The 2 in barrel has a full underlug and a shrouded ejector rod to protect the mechanism. A knurled ejector-rod tip aids positive extraction, and the compact dimensions make it easy to carry without sacrificing the 6-round capacity.
Sight alignment is straightforward with a fixed rear notch paired to a pinned, serrated-ramp front sight. Black textured rubber grips with Taurus logos provide a secure hold and control under recoil.
The frame, cylinder, and receiver wear a matte stainless/silver finish. Markings include Taurus Int'l Mfg, Bainbridge, GA, and Taurus Armas Made in Brazil, with an inspector/assembly mark 'D75' on the crane/yoke. Country of origin is Brazil.
