Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite .38 Special +P 6-Shot 2" Revolver Black

The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite delivers serious stopping power in a lightweight package that won't weigh down your carry setup. This 6-shot .38 Special +P revolver combines the reliability of a traditional wheelgun with modern materials engineering for optimal concealed carry performance.

What Makes This Different

The Ultra-Lite construction uses an aluminum alloy frame that reduces weight by 25% compared to steel-frame alternatives while maintaining structural integrity for +P ammunition. The 6-round cylinder provides an extra shot over traditional 5-shot snubnose revolvers, giving you more defensive capability without increasing frame size. Carbon steel barrel and cylinder construction ensures consistent accuracy and longevity even with regular +P loads.

Key Features

• 6-round cylinder capacity - one more shot than standard 5-shot snubnose revolvers
• Lightweight aluminum alloy frame reduces carry weight to approximately 15.4 ounces
• 2-inch carbon steel barrel optimized for defensive ammunition performance
• Rated for .38 Special +P ammunition for enhanced stopping power

The 856 Ultra-Lite performs consistently across defensive scenarios from close-quarters encounters to backup duty applications. The 2-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for hollow point expansion while maintaining concealability. Double-action trigger mechanism ensures reliable ignition even in adverse conditions where semi-automatic pistols might fail to cycle.
