Taurus 856 T.O.R.O. .38 Special 3\" Bbl Stainless Steel 6rd Revolver 2-856P39

Taurus’s Defender 856 T.O.R.O. is a modernized version of the renowned 856 platform. What sets the Defender 856 T.O.R.O. apart from other revolvers is its optics-ready capabilities, making the Defender 856 T.O.R.O. the world’s first optics-ready factory revolver. Equipped with Taurus’s innovative T.O.R.O. optics system, the Defender 856 is ready to accept any compact red dot that uses Holosun’s K-footprint. Once installed, a micro red dot provides greatly enhanced target acquisition and close range accuracy.

In addition to its optics ready capabilities, the Defender 856 T.O.R.O. is outfitted with all of the same features as previous 856 models. A target style trigger delivers a smooth pull in double action, and a knurled hammer allows for positive single action operation. A 3-inch barrel maximizes the potential of the 38 special cartridge, and a stainless steel barrel ensures a lifetime of reliable service. Other features include compact grips for greater concealability.

Features of the Defender 856 T.O.R.O:

• Optics ready
• Compatible with Holosun K-footprint optics
• Target style trigger
• Compact grips

The Taurus’s 856 series of revolvers are lightweight, easy to conceal, and offer exceptional reliability. The 856 is available in a wide array of configurations. Many models feature grips made by Altamont, VZ, Viridian, and Hogue to improve the weapon’s performance and aesthetics. Other models have been optimized for concealed carry applications. These models include the 856 Ultra-Lite, which utilizes an aluminum frame to cut down on weight, and other concealed carry 856 variations feature rounded edges and a “bobbed” concealed carry hammer to reduce the risk of snagging when the weapon is drawn. The 856 is also available with multiple finish options, such as Tungsten Cerakote, Matte Black, and Matte Stainless Steel – all of which offer excellent protection from corrosion, scuffing, and the elements.

Features of the Taurus 856 Series:

• Multiple grip configurations available
• Available with Tungsten Cerakote, Matte Black, and Matte Stainless Steel finishes
