The Taurus 856 Ultra Light Handgun brings the legacy of the 856 series into a compact, carry-ready package with a rose gold and stainless steel finish that stands out while resisting wear, and its small-frame steel construction keeps weight down for everyday carry or a dedicated backup. With a 2" barrel and 6-round capacity chambered in .38 Special, the double/single-action revolver offers fast, controllable follow-up shots on the range or under stress, and the soft rubber grips tame recoil so shooters can work through light target loads or heavier self-defense rounds without flinching. The removable serrated front sight gives you the option to minimize snag for on-body carry or retain a visible reference for home defense and close-quarters work, and the fixed sight geometry maintains consistent point of impact when you need reliable performance. As a compact revolver from Taurus designed for concealment, range practice, and personal protection, the 856 Ultra Light balances durability, shootability, and discreet carryability for hunters needing a lightweight backup, shooters wanting a dependable range pistol, and responsible citizens seeking a straightforward, easy-to-maintain self-defense revolver.
