Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special 2" 6-Round Revolver

The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite is a six-shot double-action and single-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, built for on-body or off-body carry and for home defense. Its soft rubber grips and transfer bar safety are included as standard features.

The revolver has a 2-inch barrel, an aluminum frame with a matte stainless finish, and a silver color. It weighs 15.7 ounces with an overall length of 6.5 inches. Sights are a serrated ramp front and a fixed rear, and the exposed hammer is designed for both single-action and double-action shooting.

The 856 Ultra-Lite is sold with a six-round cylinder. The retailer text also describes a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight, which conflict with the listed fixed rear sight; the listed sight configuration is shown here.
