Viridian Red Grip Laser For Taurus 856 Revolver Black
$229.00
The Viridian Red Grip Laser for Taurus 856 Revolver is a defensive shooting tool that turns your concealed carry into a faster, more accurate platform. Built around grip activation, this laser sight comes alive the moment you draw and take a firing grip—no thumb switches to fumble in a critical moment. Viridian's engineering focuses on one thing: making you faster and more confident when speed matters.
If you carry a Taurus 856 for personal protection, a quality laser sight bridges the gap between point-and-shoot simplicity and precision aiming. The red laser delivers rapid target acquisition in daylight out to 25 yards and remains visible at night up to a mile away—giving you both a functional aiming aid and a deterrent tool in defensive scenarios. The aluminum construction and rubber over-molded grip feel natural in your hand, and the overall package is refined enough that you'll actually want to train with it instead of letting it collect dust in a drawer.
Installation is straightforward, and Viridian backs the sight with a seven-year limited warranty, so you're covered for the life of your carry gun. Windage and elevation adjustments let you dial in the point of impact to match your defensive ammunition and hold. Battery life reaches four hours of continuous use on a standard CR2032 cell, and the master on/off switch prevents accidental discharge during storage or handling.
The Viridian grip laser is purpose-built for concealed carry, law enforcement, and self-defense applications where a Taurus 856 rides daily. It's not a gimmick—it's a practical upgrade that works on the platform you've already chosen to trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this grip laser fit my Taurus 856?
Yes. The Viridian Red Grip Laser is designed for the Taurus 856 revolver and will also fit the Taurus 85, 380, 905, and 942. It does not fit the Taurus Protector Poly variant.
How does grip activation work?
The laser activates automatically when you take a firing grip on the revolver, with no manual switch to press. A master on/off switch lets you disable the laser during storage or handling. This hands-free activation is designed for defensive situations where your focus is on the threat, not finding a button.
What battery does it use and how long does it last?
The sight uses a standard CR2032 battery, which is widely available and inexpensive. With continuous use, expect up to four hours of runtime before needing a replacement.
Can I adjust the laser to match my specific load?
Yes. The Viridian includes windage and elevation adjustments, so you can fine-tune the laser point of aim to match your chosen carry ammunition and personal shooting distance.
