The Taurus 856 TORO is a steel-frame double-action revolver configured for concealed carry and defensive use. Its six-shot cylinder is chambered for .38 Special +P ammunition, while the three-inch barrel provides a practical balance of handling, sight radius, and ballistic performance. The T.O.R.O. system accepts compact red dot sights using the Holosun K footprint, giving this small-frame revolver a modern aiming option. High-visibility night sights, a smooth target-style trigger, compact recoil-reducing rubber grips, and a durable stainless-steel cylinder complete the factory configuration.
