The Taurus 856 is a six-shot .38 Special small-frame revolver with a 2-inch barrel, and the six-round cylinder is the headline - most guns in this size class hold five, so an extra round is a meaningful addition in a gun where capacity is already tight. This one wears a matte black finish. The snub-nosed .38 endures as a carry gun because it does things no semi-auto can: it functions regardless of how it is gripped, it works fired from inside a coat pocket, it cannot be pushed out of battery, and there is no manual of arms beyond pulling the trigger. Rated for standard .38 Special ammunition; check the model markings for +P suitability.
