The Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer is a reliable 6-shot, 38 Special revolver that features soft rubber grips-making it comfortable to shoot at the range while the double action increases speed and accuracy for follow-up shots. Known for its easily managed recoil impulse, the .38 Special round of the 856 can accommodate ammunition ranging from light target loads to self-defense rounds. The action and 2-inch barrel on the 856 optimizes on-body or off-body carry, and home defense usage.
This revolver has become my EDC gun. I am and old guy with reduced strength in my hands. I grew up with revolvers so a transition to a snub nose was no problem. I wanted 6 rounds minimum, high-quality fit and finish, light weight and a hammer-less model. I got it all in this Taurus LW 38 Special. This gun is as high a quality as any of today's snub-nosed models and considerably cheaper than most of them. Taurus has really improved their game in the past few years. I would not hesitate to recommend this pistol to a friend or for that matter to buy another one, should I need to.
Very happy with this gun! Fun to shoot and has a decent trigger for a snub-nosed revolver. I swapped out the factory grip for a Hogue grip and it feels perfect.
