In the realm of personal defense, where reliability and readiness are paramount, the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite stands as a paragon of effective design. Engineered for those who demand peace of mind from their everyday carry firearm, this revolver combines lightweight construction with formidable firepower.
At just 16 ounces unloaded, the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite is crafted for effortless concealment without sacrificing performance. Its compact frame houses a 2-inch barrel that ensures quick handling in critical situations. Chambered in .38 Special +P, it offers a potent six-round capacity—ample for deterring threats while maintaining manageable recoil.
This revolver's action type is DA/SA (Double Action/Single Action), providing versatility whether your priority is speed or precision. The sights have been thoughtfully designed: a removable serrated blade front sight pairs with a fixed rear sight to facilitate rapid target acquisition when seconds count.
Safety has not been neglected; the inclusion of a transfer bar mechanism prevents accidental discharge unless the trigger is deliberately engaged—a crucial feature for any defensive firearm.
Aesthetically pleasing yet functional, its Sky Blue aluminum frame contrasts sharply with matte black carbon steel components on both cylinder and barrel. These materials ensure durability under regular use while keeping weight to an absolute minimum.
With dimensions engineered to fit seamlessly into daily life—an overall length of 6.55 inches and height at 4.80 inches—the Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite embodies what it means to be prepared without being encumbered by bulk or complexity.
