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

The Taurus 856 Ultralight 38 Special +P is a six-round revolver engineered for deep concealment and everyday carry by law enforcement, armed civilians, and security professionals. Built on a lightweight frame and finished in matte stainless steel, the 856 UL delivers the stopping power of .38 Special +P ammunition in a platform that prioritizes mobility and rapid deployment from ankle holsters, waistband carriers, or bag carry. The integral laser sight provides point-of-aim reference in low-light encounters without requiring external mounting hardware.

At 1.69 pounds with a 2-inch barrel, the Taurus 856 UL minimizes weight and profile while maintaining the six-round capacity that distinguishes it from smaller five-shot designs. The matte stainless steel construction resists corrosion and eliminates reflective surfaces during low-light operations. The .38 Special +P cartridge generates ballistic performance superior to standard .38 loads while remaining controllable in rapid-fire strings, a critical advantage in close-quarters defense scenarios. The included laser sight functions as both a tactical tool for threat assessment and an auxiliary aiming system when traditional sighting is compromised.

This revolver addresses the backup weapon and deep-cover requirements of patrol officers transitioning from duty weapons, plainclothes investigators requiring maximum concealability, and armed citizens prioritizing pocket-carry feasibility. The fixed sight design and double-action-only trigger mechanism eliminate external snag points and provide consistent trigger press repeatability. Its compact dimensions—6 inches overall length—position it within the ankle carry and off-body carry envelope where larger semiautomatic pistols become impractical. The Taurus 856 UL operates in the segment between ultra-compact single-stacks and full-size service revolvers, serving users who value revolver reliability and ammunition flexibility over maximum capacity.
