The Taurus 856 Small .38 Special Revolver is a compact, dependable wheelgun built for shooters who prioritize concealability without sacrificing capability. With a 2-inch barrel, matte stainless steel construction, and a manageable 22 oz unloaded weight, the 856 is equally at home as a backup gun, truck gun, or primary carry piece for those seeking a no-nonsense alternative to semi-autos. The 6-round cylinder delivers adequate capacity in a frame that fits easily into a waistband holster or jacket pocket, making it a practical choice for concealed carry, home defense, or anglers and hunters who want dependable backup protection in the field.

Chambered in .38 Special with support for +P loads, the 856 gives you flexibility in ammunition choice and stopping power when you need it. The single/double-action trigger allows deliberate aimed fire in single-action mode or quick defensive shots in double-action, while the transfer bar safety prevents accidental discharge if the gun is dropped. A serrated ramp front sight and fixed rear sight provide a basic sighting plane suitable for close-quarters shooting, and the included Viridian red laser grip adds an aiming tool that can be invaluable in low-light encounters or high-stress situations.

Build quality is straightforward: a steel frame paired with a carbon steel cylinder, soft rubber grips for recoil absorption and secure handling, and a standard hammer for traditional revolver operation. At just over 6.5 inches overall length and 1.41 inches wide, the 856 Small is genuinely pocketable—a real differentiator for shooters tired of carrying guns that don't actually conceal. Whether you're a seasoned revolver enthusiast or exploring a wheel-gun platform for personal defense, the Taurus 856 delivers proven reliability in a size that actually disappears on your person.
