Taurus 856 38spl 2" 6-Round Revolver

The Taurus 856 38 Special 2" 6-Round revolver is purpose-built for concealed carry, backup duty, and close-quarters personal defense. This compact wheelgun delivers reliable stopping power in a package small enough for discreet carry, making it ideal for plainclothes law enforcement, security personnel, and civilians prioritizing deep concealment.

Its 6-round capacity is designed for effective personal defense scenarios. Built on Taurus's proven revolver platform, the 856 features a robust double-action/single-action trigger with a clean break, solid lockup, and reliable ignition across standard and +P ammunition.

Law enforcement officers, armed security, and armed citizens seeking a no-nonsense backup gun or primary deep-concealment option will find the Taurus 856 a proven solution. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for various carry methods, including inside-the-waistband and pocket carry, although users should verify compatibility with their specific holster systems. The 38 Special chambering offers manageable recoil and proven stopping power, making it a reliable choice for personal defense.
