The 856 CH configuration delivers a concealed hammer (internal, spurless) and double-action-only operation for a smooth, snag-resistant draw. Its six-shot cylinder provides added capacity in a compact package, and it is rated for .38 Special +P ammunition.
Construction details include an alloy steel frame and cylinder with a matte black oxide finish. The 2 inch barrel wears an ejector-rod shroud, and the ejector features a knurled tip for positive manipulation.
Sights are simple and durable: a serrated ramp front blade paired with a fixed rear groove. The transfer bar safety and frame-mounted firing pin complement the DAO action for straightforward, carry-focused operation.
Factory black rubber finger-groove grips are upgraded with integrated Viridian laser units, offering an enhanced aiming aid without altering the revolver’s compact profile.
