Based on the 856 revolver, the Ultralight boasts an aluminum frame, bringing the weight down to 15.7-ounces unloaded. Chambered in .38 Special, the revolver can accommodate 6-shots. A DA/SA action, the 856 Ultralight brings a trigger pull of 10 to 12-pounds in DA and 4 to 6-pounds in SA. Measuring 6.55-inches in overall length, the revolver stands 4.8-inches tall.

β€œThe 856 Ultralight is based on the standard 856 revolver but features an aluminum frame for reduced carry weight, making it an ideal handgun for easy, all-day carry on the body or off,” Taurus said in a news release. β€œTo accommodate self-defense or target shooting needs, the 856 can be used with ammunition ranging from light target loads to self-defense rounds.”

The Taurus 856 Ultralight revolver ships with a price tag of $359 for the color and black pairing and $379 for the color and stainless steel look.
