Taurus 2-856029ULVZ06 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special 2" 6-Round Revolver

The Taurus 2-856029ULVZ06 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special 2" 6-Round Revolver is a purpose-built concealed carry platform designed for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian self-defense practitioners who demand reliability without compromise on portability. Weighing just 1.76 pounds, this ultra-lightweight double-action revolver excels in deep-cover carry applications where secondary backup weapons or plain-clothes operations require minimal profile. The 2-inch barrel provides adequate sight radius for defensive distances while maintaining a compact footprint that fits standard ankle, appendix, or pocket holster systems.

Built on Taurus's proven aluminum-frame architecture, the 856 Ultra-Lite delivers .38 Special ballistic performance in a revolver that resists corrosion and operates reliably in harsh tactical environments. The 6-round capacity balances ammunition availability with the inherent durability and simplicity of revolver mechanics—no springs to weaken, no magazines to lose. Double-action trigger geometry ensures consistent point-of-aim accuracy during rapid deployment scenarios, while the compact overall dimensions of 6.1 x 1.9 x 9.7 inches make this revolver suitable for IWB rigs, backup holsters, and retention-based carry systems used by armed professionals.

This firearm is ideal for uniformed and plainclothes operators, armed security personnel, and defensive carry users who prioritize concealability and mechanical reliability over capacity. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended shifts, while the manageable recoil impulse of .38 Special ammunition supports consistent accuracy under stress. Compatible with standard .38 Special holster inventories and recognized for its role as a proven backup weapon across law enforcement agencies, the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite bridges the gap between full-size duty weapons and pocket pistols.
