Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer .38 Special Blue/Black Revolver

The Taurus 856 Concealed Hammer is a six-shot double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, with a 2-inch barrel. Its hammer is enclosed, which the supplier describes as a snag-resistant design for carry. The Blue/Black finish pairs with a rubber grip and fixed 3-dot sights. It weighs 22.2 ounces and measures 6.7 inches overall, and the frame has no manual safety.

Enclosed-hammer revolvers like this one are aimed at discreet carry and everyday defensive use. The 6.7-inch overall length and 22.2-ounce weight set the size of the frame. Georgia imposes no purchase permit and no gun registration, leaving the federal process to run through a licensed dealer, with photo ID first. The rubber grip improves handling during firing, and the fixed sights keep the setup simple to learn.
