This 856 Ultra-Lite pairs a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame with a steel barrel and cylinder, yielding an unloaded weight around 16 oz while retaining a six-round capacity. The compact, small-frame profile with a 2-inch barrel makes it a traditional snubnose configuration chambered in .38 Special.
The action is double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed, checkered hammer spur. The matte light-silver finish is consistent across the frame and cylinder, complementing the steel components.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, using a fixed rear notch and an integral serrated ramp front sight. The setup is designed for a clear, no-adjustment sight picture on a short-barreled revolver.
