Gunmaker Taurus announced this week they have expanded their 856UL revolver line with new frame options in a Cobalt blue color.
Using an aluminum frame to trim 6 ounces from the weight of the six-shot snubby when compared to the regular Model 856, the 856UL series features a soft, ergonomic rubber grip to help mitigate recoil. Featuring either matte black carbon steel or matte stainless-steel cylinders and barrels, all 856 series revolvers are +P rated .38 Specials with 2-inch barrels.
The series uses an integrated rear sight channel and low serrated ramp front sight, with users able to choose between models with either black carbon or matte stainless barrels and cylinders. (Photo: Taurus)
