The Taurus 856 series of small-frame, six-shot, .38 Spl. revolvers are solid options for concealed carry that hold one more round of ammunition than competing models from other manufacturers.

Taurus USA has introduced the new 856 into its expansive revolver line for 2018. The DA/SA action and 2" barrel on the 856 optimizes on-body or off-body carry, and home-defense usage.
