Product Overview

The Taurus 856 UL is a lightweight .38 Special revolver built for shooters who need reliable, compact firepower without the bulk. With a 2-inch barrel and aluminum frame, this 6-round wheel gun tips the scales at just 16 ounces unloaded — making it an ideal choice for everyday carry, backup duty, or deep concealment when snubbies matter most. The rose gold and stainless steel finish gives it visual character while the matte stainless cylinder and barrel resist corrosion in the field.

This is a double-action/single-action revolver with a fixed rear sight and a removable serrated front blade, so you can customize your sight picture or swap components as needed. The transfer bar safety adds an extra layer of security during handling and carry. The 856 UL handles both standard .38 Special and .38 Special +P loads, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection for training or defensive use.

For shooters prioritizing concealability and weight savings without sacrificing bullet capacity, the Taurus 856 UL delivers. Its small frame fits deep in a pocket holster, ankle rig, or appendix carry setup, while six rounds of .38 Special offer a practical balance of firepower and reload speed. Whether you're backing up your primary carry gun or going minimalist, this ultra-light revolver is built to stay with you all day.
