Taurus 856 .38 Special +P Revolver, Matte Stainless – 2-856029

A very high quality revolver at a great price. Stainless steel construction is very easy to maintain.It fits well into my hand and points very narurally. I like it a lot.

Good value, bought this for personal protection. Not fancy, but will do the job if needed. Hopefully will never need it, but if I do, I have not doubt it will get someone’s attention.

Perfect weapon for my wife. Fits her like a glove and she is a dead eye with it at ranges to 25 yards.

It's so accurate that it's now my primary carry piece. Same general size as my 5 shot taurus 905 but holds six rounds.

Great looks, works great, good price, arrived way faster than i thought it would. NOT the ultra light. It bothers me that Palmetto jacks their prices during a 'crisis', but i can't blame them really for wanting to make an extra buck or twenty. Just stay in business!

Very nice revolver, sized perfect for my wife. I was always worried she wouldn't be able to quickly resolve a malfunction under pressure with the semi-auto she carried. A revolver almost always goes bang with each trigger pull. And the difference in capacity between the guns really isn't a problem, because we're always together. And, too, we know which parts of town to stay out of.

The gun feels good, feel solid and well-made. Balanced. Does what it's supposed to do. Excellent price. Shoots well. Impressed by Taurus brand. I like the hotter rounds that a +P allows.

Not too heavy. Perfect for my wife to carry. Not too much punch for her to handle yet, enough punch to keep her safe.

I haven’t shot it yet but if feels very comfortable in my hand, so I couldn’t give an accurate rating. I would recommend buying it tho.

i did not buy through PSA. PSA is great. but taurus..... not so much. i have owned at least 4 taurus handguns in the past decade. all 4 had issues with jamming, faulty ejectors (on revolvers), and cheap faulty materials. my 856 had a defective trigger spring pin. it snapped in half like a match stick. just pay a few bucks more for a ruger or a smith. taurus still deserves its old reputation as cheap junk.

I bought one of these Taurus 18 months ago, and find it everything a "Snubbie" should be. It is reasonably light in weight and carries six Filthy-McNasties in HP. The recoil-absorbing grip serves well to attenuate recoil jump, and the "Fairer Sex" find it far easier to bring into action than a semi-auto. It isn't a competition Target pistol. It is for self defense. Period. For THAT, it is the "Just Right," and with those really nasty +P 125 grain or higher, WooooHOO, it hits like a 12 pound ball peen hammer!

Nevermind the previous post I have owned many Taurus handguns over the years and never had a problem with any of them and that includes semi-auto and revolvers! I personally have this model, not purchased from PSA, but I've been carrying this model for years and I never had one issue and I have fired many rounds through it! So take these reviews with caution when thinking of buying anything. Lot of blowhards on the internet!
