Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at the new Taurus 856 Snubnodes Revolver chambered in 38 Special. When I first got this, I was a little overzealous. I took it to the range first. I really enjoyed it. It performed well in both double action, single action, plus p load because it is plus p rated and those rounds were intense. Big muzzle flash, little extra recoil, but it handled the plus p rounds just fine. I really did enjoy it. I'm circling back around to the tabletop review and I'm calling this a closer look at this revolver. The greatest advantage here is that it comes with a cylinder that carries six rounds. Opposed to the long standing Taurus 85 that holds five rounds. That's where the six comes from in the 856. It's a copy of the Taurus 85, but they add in a 6 for six rounds in the cylinder. That is an advantage. The MSRP on this 388 you can pick it up right in the upper 200s, mainly like 270s what I saw and that's what it's available for. Now there are many different color combinations. This one here is called Burnd Orange. I call it red. It looks red to me. That's what I wanted was red with the black accents all around and Taurus calls it Burnd Orange. So for all intents and purposes it is Burnd Orange, but I do like the black barrel ejector rod, the crane, the black cylinder and trigger and cylinder release, spurred hammer and grip all in black. I think it looks outstanding. When I did my range review I had mixed reviews about that. Some people loved the way it looks, other people didn't, but it's a good thing that Taurus makes many different combinations and even black and a stainless look as well is also available. Check out that grip. It's got a little different texturing on the back strap. Nice grip, little finger ledge there, the pinky grasps underneath that grip. I feel total control of the revolver. There also has this ledge here. You can rest your thumb on when gripping and then of course your weak side hands just kind of tucks over that, keeping it out of the way of the cylinder gap. But the single action, I already showed clear here, the single action, the website says four to six pounds. I'm measuring it at six pounds. So it's definitely on the higher end of that, the double action is fine, single action right around six pounds. The one thing it does have is a transfer bar right there. So the hammer strikes the transfer bar, then strikes the firing pin and that sets off that round. And inside here what we're looking at is your firing pin up here, your timing hand and your bolt lock right there. So as the trigger is pulled, you'll see that bolt lock just kind of releases and the cylinder rotates counterclockwise with this revolver. Very nice setup. It's a good looking setup. It's got a ramped up front sight. You know, can you use some nail polish to pick it up better on the range because it is black. If you have a black background, it's going to kind of blend in. So that would be a good way to go. And a tunneled rear sight, integrated into the frame. Already mentioned, spurred hammer. You know, it's a nice looking revolver. I really appreciated the way it performed. Let's go ahead and get it on the scale. I think most people are going to pocket carry these, especially these snub nose. You know, this is what I used to pocket carry my PM9. Again, it would fit in that same pocket holster just fine. And it is light. Now, the website also says that it's weighing in at 16 ounces. I'm actually weighing it a little less than that. 15 and 3-quarters ounces. But I do have six rounds of 38 special 130 grain. 38 special. We'll put them on there. See what the loaded weight is. And well, they're dropping, but that's not going to matter. Is it 1 pound, 2 and 1-half ounces? We move that to just ounces. It's weighing in at 18 and 1-half ounces. So that is why so many people pocket carry these snub nose revolvers. And they do so with confidence. They say, you know what? I'll take a revolver right off the word about magazines. I don't have to worry about jams and all that kind of stuff. There are some maintenance that needs to be done with these. But overall, it's a more simple design. And Taurus really mastered not just the looks, but the function of these. It's got everything that I think is important for a lightweight. And it is an ultra light model. Snub nose revolver, you know, with a two-inch barrel, six pound single action trigger. And then the double action is not bad. It didn't take me long at all to figure it out when I was at the range. I felt comfortable with it. And I just felt confident that I could hit my target. If needed, here it is, guys. The new ultra light, Taurus 8.56 snub nose revolver in 38 special.
