Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite 38 Special 6-Shot 2" Revolver with Viridian Laser

The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite combines traditional revolver reliability with modern laser sighting technology in an ultra-lightweight package. This 6-shot .38 Special revolver features an aluminum frame construction that significantly reduces carry weight while maintaining structural integrity. The integrated Viridian laser sight provides instant target acquisition in low-light conditions.

What Makes This Different

The aluminum frame construction sets this revolver apart from steel-framed alternatives, reducing overall weight by approximately 30% without compromising durability. The factory-installed Viridian laser eliminates the need for aftermarket modifications and ensures proper alignment from the manufacturer. The 6-round capacity provides one additional shot compared to traditional 5-shot snub-nose revolvers in this size class.
