The Taurus 856 Defender in Blue/Black is a six-shot double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special +P, with a 3-inch barrel. It weighs 25.36 ounces and measures 7.5 inches overall. Hogue rubber grips give a secure hold on the Blue/Black frame. Night sights help with the aiming picture in low light, and an external hammer allows single-action fire when you choose it.
This revolver suits home defense or practical carry in a .38 Special +P chambering, with night sights for dim conditions. No state purchase permit or firearm registration applies in Georgia, so the revolver is released by a licensed dealer after the federal check on Form 4473. The transfer-bar safety is part of the factory configuration, and the frame is sized for everyday handling.
