Taurus 856 38spl+p 2" 6-Round Revolver

The Taurus 856 .38 Special +P 2" 6-round revolver in black delivers purpose-built concealed carry performance for personal defense and off-duty law enforcement use. This compact fixed-sight revolver is engineered for quick deployment in close-quarters scenarios while maintaining the inherent reliability and simplicity of double-action revolver operation.

Weighing 1.94 pounds, the Taurus 856 achieves a balance between shootability and concealability—light enough for extended IWB or ankle carry without fatigue, yet substantial enough to manage .38 Special +P recoil without excessive muzzle flip. The 2-inch barrel provides a manageable sight radius while keeping overall length within limits for deep concealment. Fixed sights eliminate snag hazards during draws and require no maintenance or zero verification. Rubber grips provide consistent purchase during both deliberate practice and high-stress presentations, while the compact frame geometry facilitates reholstering from retention positions.

This revolver is purpose-designed for armed citizens, private security professionals, and off-duty law enforcement requiring a lightweight backup or primary defensive tool. The .38 Special +P chambering offers adequate stopping potential for defensive applications while generating manageable recoil and noise in indoor environments. Six-round capacity reflects the compromise between frame size and practical round count for typical defensive engagement distances. The Taurus 856 excels in scenarios demanding maximum concealability without sacrificing adequate power or capacity—plainclothes work, travel defense, or duty as a deep-cover backup piece.
