The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite delivers reliable personal protection in a compact 6-shot revolver package enhanced with an integrated Viridian laser sight. This matte stainless steel framed revolver chambers the proven 38 Special +P cartridge in a lightweight platform optimized for concealed carry and close-quarters defense.
What Makes This Different
The 856 Ultra-Lite combines the reliability of a traditional double-action revolver with modern laser sighting technology. While standard snub-nose revolvers typically hold 5 rounds, this model provides 6 rounds of 38 Special +P capacity in the same compact footprint. The matte stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued finishes while maintaining a non-reflective surface profile.
Key Features
- 6-round cylinder capacity in 38 Special +P chambering
- Integrated Viridian laser sight for rapid target acquisition
- 2-inch barrel length optimized for concealed carry
- Matte stainless steel frame construction for corrosion resistance
- Finger-grooved black rubber grip for secure handling
- Ultra-Lite designation indicates reduced weight profile
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
The 38 Special +P chambering provides effective stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics in the lightweight frame. Law enforcement backup applications, concealed carry permit holders, and home defense scenarios all benefit from the combination of compact dimensions and 6-shot capacity. The integrated laser sight eliminates the need for aftermarket modifications while providing consistent zero retention.
