Product Description

What's in the Box

  • Taurus 856 Executive Grade 38 Special DAO Revolver
  • Cable Lock
  • Travel Friendly Premium Case
  • Owner's Manual

Boasting its own production room and dedicated product specialists, the 3-inch 856 is the first born within the exclusive Taurus® Executive Grade line—and the first of its kind.

Finely tuned to exude the highest levels of style, quality and innovation, it’s a true double action 38 Special +P revolver that’s ideal for discerning shooters who value a smooth trigger pull and even smoother timing.

The 856 is handsomely adorned with a custom hand-polished satin finish that can be admired by all. A custom trigger system along with an improved trigger guard and backstrap enhance comfort and performance when you need it most.

A snag-free concealed hammer ensures discrete everyday carry. Chamfered cylinder chambers facilitate faster, seamless reloads while an ultra-luxe custom Walnut Checkered grip welcomes your hand like it was created specifically for you.

A fixed rear sight and removable serrated blade front sight enable quick, accurate target acquisition. Attention to detail is how you’ve succeeded and the Executive Grade exhibits that same painstaking level of meticulousness with the inclusion of a rugged, high-impact Pelican Vault Case.

This travel friendly premium case is unmarked so you can covertly transport your 856—ensuring safe, secure carry and storage throughout the life of the firearm.

If you’re seeking greatness, this is just the beginning. Welcome to your promotion.
