Taurus 856 Defender Features
Taurus 856 Defender Double-Action Revolver conceals well and packs a punch, with a full 6-round cylinder. The 856 Defender features an alloy frame, and a steel barrel, and cylinder. The exterior metal has a matte finish. A Tritium with Orange outline front sight and a fixed, groove rear sight acquire quickly, and interfere minimally when drawing the weapon from a holster, pocket, or purse. An exposed hammer allows you to cock and fire the revolver in single-action mode for precision accuracy, or fire instinctively in double-action mode. A transfer bar safety mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.
The 856 Ultra-Lite also utilizes the Taurus Security System (TSS), enabling you to disable the weapon completely with the turn of a key. The Taurus 856 Double-Action Revolver is an affordable and reliable self-defense gun that’s easy to learn how to operate, and quick to deploy in an emergency.
Lightweight. Easy to conceal. Exceptionally reliable. The Taurus Defender 856 is finely tuned to deliver the ultimate peace of mind for home and personal defense situations. This Defender 856 comes with night sights and special wood grips from Altamont.
