This NRA rollmark edition features the NRA logo rollmarked on the right side of the frame, with the product code denoting the special run. The matte light gray finish across the alloy frame and cylinder gives it a consistent, subdued look appropriate for a carry-oriented snubnose.
The Ultra-Lite alloy construction keeps weight down while retaining the familiar Model 85 small-frame profile. It is a five-shot, micro-size revolver with a 2-inch barrel, fluted cylinder, and a short underlug that doubles as an ejector-rod shroud. The black textured rubber finger-groove grips with Taurus medallions offer a secure hold.
Operation is double-action/single-action with an exposed, serrated hammer for optional single-action precision. Sights are fixed, with a trench-style rear integral to the topstrap and a ramped, serrated front blade. This revolver is chambered in .38 Special and is rated for +P ammunition.
The barrel uses a 1:16.5-inch right-hand twist with six grooves, and the knurled ejector rod aids positive extraction. Safety features include the Taurus Security System keyed internal lock.
Markings include MADE IN BRAZIL and TAURUS INT. MFG., MIAMI, FL – USA. Provenance includes a factory fired-casing envelope dated 1/29/2013 that matches this revolver, aligning with the NRA rollmark edition’s factory documentation.
