Designed for both comfortable carry and comfortable shooting in a compact platform, Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite revolvers utilize an aluminum frame to reduce weight. To mitigate felt recoil and to provide a solid, no-slip purchase, the 856UL features a soft, ergonomic rubber grip. The cylinder holds six rounds of .38 Special +P while the spurred hammer provides DA/SA action. An integrated rear sight channel and low serrated ramp front sight combine with a smoothly curved trigger guard to maintain a discrete profile for IWB or OWB carry.
