Taurus 856 TORO

The TORO designation stands for 'Taurus Optic Ready Option.' This means the revolver comes with a factory-cut slide or frame interface, allowing you to easily mount a micro red dot sight for faster target acquisition.

Yes, its two-inch barrel and compact frame make it well-suited for concealed carry. At 22.08 ounces, it offers a solid balance between being heavy enough to manage recoil and light enough for all-day carry.

The Taurus 856 is rated for .38 Special +P ammunition, which means it can safely handle both standard pressure .38 Special and the higher-pressure +P loads. This gives you flexibility in choosing ammunition for practice or defensive purposes.

The double-action trigger pull is longer and heavier, which acts as a safety feature for the first shot. The single-action mode, achieved by manually cocking the hammer, provides a lighter, shorter trigger pull that can improve accuracy for deliberate, aimed shots.

The revolver features a removable serrated front sight. This allows you to swap it out for different sight options, such as fiber optics or night sights, depending on your preference and lighting conditions.

Despite the increased capacity to six rounds, the Taurus 856 maintains a slim profile comparable to many five-shot revolvers. The soft rubber grips are designed to provide a secure hold without adding unnecessary bulk that would hinder concealment.
