Taurus 856 .38 Special +P Revolver – 2″ Matte Stainless, 6-Shot, Exposed Hammer

The Taurus 856 is a compact, reliable .38 Special +P revolver built for everyday carry, home defense, and range use. Chambered in .38 Special +P and featuring a 6-shot cylinder, the 856 offers one more round than the traditional 5-shot snub-nose — giving you a meaningful edge when it counts most.

Constructed with a matte stainless steel barrel, cylinder, and frame, this revolver is built to resist corrosion and withstand the demands of regular use. The 2-inch barrel keeps the profile snag-free and easy to conceal, while the exposed hammer allows for both double-action and single-action operation, giving shooters greater trigger control when precision matters.

The transfer bar safety system provides an added layer of protection against accidental discharge, ensuring the revolver only fires when the trigger is deliberately pulled — a critical feature for carry and home defense scenarios.

Whether you’re a first-time handgun buyer looking for a dependable self-defense option, a seasoned shooter seeking a backup carry piece, or someone who simply wants a quality stainless revolver at a competitive price, the Taurus 856 delivers proven performance without breaking the bank.
