Matte stainless construction defines the Taurus 856 at a 2-inch barrel length. The six-shot double-action revolver is chambered in .38 Special +P, and its matte stainless frame, barrel and cylinder carry black rubber grips. It weighs 22 ounces with a 6.55-inch overall length. The exposed hammer supports both single-action and double-action fire, and a ramp front sight with a fixed rear sight make up the sighting system.
In Georgia no purchase permit or gun registration stands between buyer and dealer, and the federal check on Form 4473 is what finishes the transfer. The compact stainless revolver suits carry or home defense in a .38 Special +P chambering. The internal transfer bar safety is part of the design, and the rubber grips help control the revolver during handling.
