The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite .38 Special with a 2" barrel blends carry-minded engineering and everyday defensive utility in a compact revolver thats easy to carry and shoot, making it a solid choice for concealed carry, home defense backup, or range practice. The Ultra-Lite series is known for its aluminum frame and reduced weight, and this model lives up to that reputation at just 15.7 ounces with a 6-round cylinder finished in black carbon steel and an eye-catching azure blue/black colored barrel and frame. The double-action operation and short spur exposed hammer give you fast, straightforward follow-up shots or the option for single-action precision, while the transfer bar safety adds a layer of drop-safe security without complicating use. Fixed ramp front and rear sights offer quick target acquisition in close quarters, and the black rubber grips provide a sure hold under stress. With a 6.55" overall length, 2" barrel, standard trigger, and alloy frame, the 856 balances shootability and concealability; note that purchase requires a Federal Firearms License (FFL) transfer.
