Taurus Defender 856 T.O.R.O.Revolver 38 Special 3" Barrel Matte Black Finish Optic Ready But Not Included
*Optic not included*
What’s better than our award winning six-shot small frame revolver, the Taurus 856? How about taking that steel frame, three-inch barrel revolver and making it the first factory red dot ready small frame revolver.
That’s right, thanks to our T.O.R.O. system, the 856 is now ready to accept compact red dot sights that fit the Holosun K-footprint. This moves the 856 into a whole new category of self-defense revolvers and it’s one that we just created.
The best news is that the 856 T.O.R.O. maintains all the features you already loved about the 856 Defender series. A 3 inch barrel, high visibility night sights, an excellent double action trigger, and of course a class leading 6 shots of .38 Special +P on board. Now thanks to the red dot sight capability, you can zero your dot for your ammo of choice.
THE TAURUS DEFENDER 856 T.O.R.O. ALSO HAS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES : First ever optics ready revolver.
Optics plate is compatible with the popular Holosun K footprint.
Compact grips provide recoil reduction and enhanced concealment.
The 856 toro uses a stainless-steel cylinder for maximum durability.
With a 3-inch barrel, the 856 toro gets the most performance out of 38 special as possible.
A smooth target style trigger enhances the shooter’s ability to shoot fast and accurately.
Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 38 Special +P uses the standard 38 Special 1.1551-inch case with .357-inch bullet, but is loaded to higher pressure (18,500 psi versus 17,000) than standard 38 Special ammunition. 38 Special +P ammunition is thus fully interchangeable with 38 Special ammunition. However, it is not necessarily safe to use 38 Special +P in older revolvers and especially revolvers with lightweight aluminum frames. 38 Special +P offers increased velocity and greater energy yield, raising velocity with a 158-grain bullet from 800 to 890 feet per second. With modern bullet designs 38 Special +P is an extremely effective personal defense load. — Craig Boddington
