The Model 856 is a compact .38 Special revolver with a 3" barrel, double/single action, and a 6-round capacity. The 3" barrel gives a workable balance between portability and sight radius, short enough for carry, long enough to shoot accurately. TORO optics-ready design lets you mount a red dot if you prefer one.

Detailed Features
The double/single action mechanism lets you fire DA for a heavier pull or cock the hammer for a lighter SA shot. The transfer bar safety prevents discharge if the gun is dropped without the trigger pulled. VZ G10 grips hold up in wet or sweaty conditions and give a firm purchase without being abrasive. The TORO optics cut means you can run a red dot for faster target acquisition, useful in low light or for shooters who find iron sights difficult.
Usage
At home, the 856 stores easily and is ready quickly. At the range, the DA/SA capability and optics readiness give you flexibility to practice different shooting styles. The .38 Special caliber keeps recoil manageable for most shooters.
