The Taurus 850 CIA delivers reliable .38 Special performance in a compact snubnose design engineered for concealed carry and personal protection. This 5-shot revolver features a concealed hammer design that eliminates snagging while maintaining double-action functionality for quick deployment.
What Makes This Different
The 850 CIA stands apart from traditional snubnose revolvers with its concealed hammer configuration and transfer bar safety system. While standard revolvers can snag on clothing during draw, the CIA's streamlined profile allows smooth extraction from holsters and pockets. The alloy steel construction provides durability at a lighter weight than all-steel alternatives, reducing carry fatigue without sacrificing strength.Key Features
