Product Information & Specs

Seller Description For This Firearm

The Taurus 856 is a compact double-action/single-action revolver designed for personal protection, concealed carry, and everyday reliability. Chambered in .38 Special, the 856 combines a proven revolver design with modern manufacturing and durable construction, making it a trusted option for both new and experienced shooters.

Built on a compact frame, the Taurus 856 features a six-shot cylinder, providing an additional round of capacity compared to many traditional small-frame revolvers. Its manageable size allows for comfortable concealed carry while maintaining a solid grip and balanced handling. The revolver is available in a variety of finishes and grip configurations, enabling owners to select a model that best suits their preferences and intended use.

The Taurus 856 is constructed with durability in mind, utilizing quality steel components designed to withstand regular use. Its double-action/single-action trigger system offers flexibility, allowing shooters to fire with a longer double-action trigger pull or manually cock the hammer for a lighter single-action trigger press when greater precision is desired. Fixed sights provide a simple and dependable aiming system suitable for defensive and recreational shooting applications.

Known for its straightforward operation, the Taurus 856 is easy to maintain and does not rely on detachable magazines, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate the simplicity and reliability of a revolver platform. The ergonomic grip design helps improve comfort and control, while the revolver’s compact dimensions make it practical for discreet carry and home defense roles.

Combining dependable performance, user-friendly operation, and a six-round capacity, the Taurus 856 offers a versatile solution for personal protection. Its balance of concealability, durability, and traditional revolver reliability continues to make it a popular choice among firearm owners seeking a dependable defensive handgun.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction.  And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process.  We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it.  We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store.  And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process.  We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.


WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community.  Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state.  At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible.  That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.


WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days.  But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated.  Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want.  Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice.  Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
