The Taurus 856CH Ultra-Lite is a lightweight .38 Special +P revolver built for concealed carry and personal defense. At just 16 ounces unloaded, this snub-nose wheelgun cuts weight without sacrificing the stopping power of .38 Special ammunition—or the flexibility to step up to +P loads when you need them. The 2-inch barrel keeps the gun compact and fast from the holster, while the 6-round cylinder gives you solid capacity for a pocket or ankle carry piece. The double-action-only mechanism, combined with a transfer bar safety, provides peace of mind whether you're carrying in a purse, truck glovebox, or on your nightstand.

Built around an alloy frame paired with a carbon steel cylinder, the 856CH delivers durability where it matters most while keeping overall weight down. The serrated ramp front sight and fixed rear sight are simple, effective, and easy to use in low-light conditions. Soft black rubber grips absorb recoil and secure your hold on a gun this light—important when .38 +P rounds start talking. The 10–12 pound trigger pull is manageable and consistent, a hallmark of the Taurus double-action design.

The anodized matte natural finish resists corrosion and looks professional without drawing attention. At 6.55 inches overall length and 4.8 inches tall, this revolver fits deep in a pocket, fits under a jacket, and fits the mission of anyone who needs reliable, no-fuss backup protection. Whether you're a first-time revolver buyer, a veteran looking for a lightweight backup gun, or someone who prefers the simplicity and reliability of a wheelgun, the 856CH Ultra-Lite is a smart, proven choice.
