Taurus 850, .38 Special, 3 in, 5 Rounds, Matte Stainless Steel, Concealed Hammer

The Taurus 850 .38 Special is a compact, snub-nosed revolver in Taurus's long-running 850 series that blends traditional revolver reliability with modern safety and carry features, and it's an excellent option for concealed carry, bedside defense, or a durable range companion. This small-frame, 5-shot DAO revolver sports a 3" matte stainless steel barrel and cylinder with a matching matte stainless frame that resists corrosion and cleaning wear while weighing in at about 24 oz for controllable handling; the concealed hammer and fully shrouded design reduce snag when drawing from a holster or pocket. The DAO trigger and transfer bar safety provide consistent trigger pull and drop protection, and the black rubber grip helps tame recoil from the .38 Special cartridge for quicker follow-up shots. Sights are a removable serrated blade with a fixed rear for fast target acquisition in close quarters, and overall length of 7.65" keeps the 850 compact without sacrificing shootability. Whether you're shopping for a reliable self-defense revolver, a law-enforcement backup, or a straightforward range gun, the Taurus 850 delivers simple operation, rugged stainless construction, and user-focused safety in a classic revolver package.
