About this product

The Taurus 856 Ultra Lite is a compact, small-frame revolver configured for practical carry and everyday use. It pairs a 2″ stainless barrel with a 6-round cylinder and a lightweight aluminum/alloy frame to keep on-body options manageable. The 856 uses a double/single-action trigger system and a transfer bar safety, and ships with soft rubber grips for comfortable handling. Sights are configured with a serrated front ramp and a fixed rear for straightforward sighting.
