The Taurus 856 has become one of the best values in defensive revolvers, offering six rounds of .38 Special where most competing snubs hold five. This model wears a matte stainless finish over its 2 inch barrel and small frame, topped with aggressive G10 grips that give a positive hold even with sweaty hands — a real upgrade over the rubber boots most snubbies wear. The double-action trigger is smooth enough for pocket or purse carry, and the simplicity of a revolver still makes it one of the best choices for a bedside or backup gun.
