The NHG TAURUS 856 (Model 18,456) is a defensive powerhouse that redefines the classic snub-nose revolver by offering a “sixth-shot” advantage in a frame typically reserved for five. Renowned for its reliable performance and compact “Small Frame” architecture, this .38 Special revolver is engineered for those who demand the simplicity of a wheel-gun without sacrificing round count. Featuring a 2-inch barrel and a 6.5-inch overall length, the 856 is the premier choice for shooters who want maximum concealment paired with maximum confidence.

Built with a focus on everyday carry ergonomics, the 856 features a DA/SA (Double Action/Single Action) trigger system that allows for rapid defensive fire or a precise, light-pull single-action shot. Its 2-inch barrel is optimized for close-quarters accuracy and snag-free draws, while the ergonomic rubber grips are designed to absorb recoil and provide a secure purchase even under stress. Unlike traditional sub-compact revolvers that limit you to five rounds, the 856 utilizes a slightly wider cylinder to house a full 6-round payload, providing a 20% increase in firepower in a profile that remains remarkably easy to hide.

A favorite among concealed carry enthusiasts and those seeking a “no-fail” home defense tool, the Taurus 856 has earned a reputation as a dependable, high-value workhorse. Its combination of a 6-round capacity, +P ammunition rating, and a rugged finish built for daily wear makes it a top-searched firearm for those who demand a high-performance revolver that bridges the gap between a lightweight backup and a primary defensive sidearm. The Model 18,456 is the definitive choice for anyone who values the “always-ready” nature of a revolver with a modern capacity upgrade.
