Feature Deep-Dive
The Taurus 856 38 Spl +P Ultra-Lite is designed with the modern shooter in mind, offering a blend of lightweight construction and robust performance. The matte black anodized finish not only provides a sleek and professional appearance but also enhances durability and resistance to wear and corrosion.
The 2-inch barrel is a key feature that sets this revolver apart. It offers a compact and concealable profile without compromising on accuracy and velocity. The short barrel length makes it ideal for quick draws and close-quarters engagements, making it a top choice for concealed carry and home defense.
The double action/single action (DA/SA) mechanism provides flexibility in shooting styles. Double action allows for a single, consistent trigger pull, which is ideal for defensive situations where quick, reliable shots are crucial. Single action, on the other hand, offers a lighter, crisper trigger pull for more precise shooting, making it suitable for target practice and competition.
The serrated ramp front sight and fixed rear sight provide clear and quick sight acquisition, which is essential in high-stress situations. The sights are designed to be easy to pick up and align, ensuring that you can get on target quickly and confidently.
The lightweight construction of the Taurus 856 38 Spl +P Ultra-Lite is another standout feature. Weighing in at approximately 14.4 ounces, it is easy to carry for extended periods without causing discomfort or fatigue. This makes it an excellent choice for everyday carry and concealed carry scenarios.

Home Defense: The quick and reliable action, combined with the 38 Special +P caliber, makes this revolver a solid choice for home defense. The short barrel and lightweight construction allow for easy maneuvering in tight spaces, ensuring that you can respond quickly and effectively to any threats.
