The Taurus 856 Defender in stainless and silver is a six-shot double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special +P, with a 3-inch barrel. The stainless and silver finish sits on a small frame, and the revolver weighs 23.52 ounces with a 7.5-inch overall length. Night sights and rubber grips complete the configuration. Double-action and single-action operation give both a defensive trigger pull and a deliberate single-action option.

Georgia has no purchase permit and no registration requirement, so the dealer completes Form 4473 and the background check before the revolver is released. The compact six-shot suits home defense or carry in a .38 Special +P chambering, with night sights for low-light aiming. The transfer-bar safety is part of the design, and the lighter frame is easier to handle than a larger revolver.
