Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer | .38 Spl +P | 2″ Barrel

The Taurus 856 is a compact, concealed-hammer revolver chambered in 38 SPECIAL +P, designed for everyday carry and concealed carry duties. It features a 6-round capacity and a short 2.00 inch barrel for close‑in handling while maintaining a manageable overall size. The gun combines a matte black carbon steel frame and barrel with a stainless steel cylinder and grey VZ grips for a durable, low‑glare finish. For optics, consider a compact pistol red‑dot such as the Holosun 507K (a compact reflex sight typically priced well under $1000) if you plan to mount a micro red dot on a compatible cut or plate.
