Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite Concealed Hammer .38 Special Blue/Black Revolver

The Taurus 856 Ultra-Lite Concealed Hammer in Blue/Black is a .38 Special double-action revolver with a six-round cylinder and a two-inch barrel. Its lightweight aluminum frame brings the weight down to 15.7 ounces, and the overall length is 6.55 inches. The concealed hammer is built to reduce snagging on clothing during a draw, and a serrated ramp front sight sits above a fixed rear sight. The double-action system lets the revolver fire without a manual hammer cock.

In Georgia this revolver suits concealed carry and personal defense, where a light gun with a hidden hammer keeps the profile low under clothing. A soft rubber grip and an internal transfer-bar safety are part of the setup. Home defense uses the same configuration, and Georgia rules apply statewide.
