Steel-framed, the Taurus 856 Small Frame is a six-shot double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, with a 2-inch barrel. Its Blue/Black finish and rubber grips sit on the steel frame, and the revolver weighs 22 ounces with a 6.55-inch overall length. Fixed 2-dot sights set the aiming picture. A transfer bar safety is built in to guard against an accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped.
For a Georgia buyer this small-frame revolver works as a compact .38 Special for carry or home defense, with a steel frame built for regular use. Buyers in Georgia face no purchase permit and no gun registration, so the purchase is finished with a dealer through photo ID and a federal background check. The 2-inch barrel keeps the revolver compact, and the rubber grips help control the gun during firing.
