I want that one. Either these things haven't gotten out in big enough numbers from the factory yet, or somebody's buying the hell out of them. I have looked and looked all over the place, and everybody's out.....or perhaps they've not gotten any in yet since they're so new. According to the pricing I've seen, they can be had for around $350.

It’s an incredibly versatile round. You can always find ammo online, and you can shoot anything from full-power Gold Dots, etc. down to .32 wadcutters, for great performance with reduced recoil. If police departments still used revolvers, an 8-shot 4” would probably be king of the hill.

I agree. I have a stainless 85 from 1995, complete with wood stocks and a three-inch barrel. These seem to be rare. It's a very handsome revolver, in my opinion, and a soft shooter, too. Incidentally, I also have a stainless 941 (.22WMR, adjustable sight) from that era, and it also has a three-inch barrel. Definitely my favorite barrel length.

Thanks, Dan! 3" revolvers are really a very useful size for holster carry. They give a little more sight radius and velocity, and in .38 Special, that can be critical as hollow point ammunition is often at borderline velocities from a 2" barrel for proper performance. An extra inch of barrel is not difficult to conceal. A LOT of people still use revolvers for CC and they are perfectly adequate for CC personal defense. I think these could be winners for Taurus. The price is competitive and if they keep the quality up, these will be in demand.

gary K, I couldn't agree more! I've been carrying a 3" S&W 36, for the last 30 years- and in my opinion the 3" barrel is Perfect for CC. The down-side (for me) is finding a Level 2 OWB holster. A 3" barreled Revolver is a "Wild-child" to begin with. Having just ordered an 856 Defender, the fun now begins...

@@patrickstone4125 I do not use retention holsters or even a strap, for CC. My favorite holster for CC is either the Don Hume "JIT" belt slide or the El Paso Saddlery "combat Express", basically the same holster but El Paso will custom make it for any gun. I use one for my 3rd Gen S&W semi-autos. They are open bottom and can handle any length barrel. For example, I use one for 1911s for any of my 1911 models...Officer's Model, Commander model or Government model. I use one for J frame S&Ws, whether it is a 2" Model 642 or a 4" model 34. My holster for the 3rd Gen S&W semi autos fits any barrel length of the 39, 59 or 69 series handguns. Were I carrying openly, I would want some form of retention holster, even a thumb break or strap with a snap, but for CC I don't see the need.

Thanks TFG.

But I had no idea Santa Claus was bringing me Colt King Cobra .357 3 inch barrel. Sorry but the trigger and overall build quality is much, much better with the Colt. But it was much more expensive too. The Taurus are nice at the price point.

Another plus over the 856 not mentioned is the full size grip... The 856 is just a little short for me. I was looking for one of these local for my mother who has arthritis and I was thinking the weight of the gun and full grip would really help with recoil that she would otherwise have a hard time with, but I could find one so we wound up getting her the 8 shot 22 mag with 2" its the same frame as the 855 so it has the same grips but the 22 mag in a 22.5 oz gun is unnoticeable so it's a perfect fit for her

I used to carry a S&W model 36 and a model 10 2". The 36 was loaded up with non lethal rubber rounds, the 10 had hollowpoints. One time a crackhead came at me and I let him have four rubber bullets to the bread box! It sure took the beans out of him. I didn't stick around to sort things out either, I just got out of there. Probably the best option. They can't hold it against you for fleeing for your life you know

Not a Taurus fan, but that wood grip dark metal is a looker....if I saw it in a case I would talk to it as if it was trying flirt with me to buy it.

Heard bad reviews about Taurus and their semi-autos (PT92 excluded), so I never bought one. Conversely, I didn’t hear anything bad about Taurus revolvers. Looking into the 856 series and now the new Defender 856 series, I can see myself investing in a Defender.. especially given the fact that they’re likely the least expensive, quality option out there!

I’m liking the satin mode and the one with black cylinder may have to get one eventually

The three inch barrel would make it excellent for the outdoorsman, hiker and camper.

Does using a higher grain on these revolvers...from a 115 to a 154 grain 38 special. Does it matter?
@kirkmooneyham
@kirkmooneyham Жыл бұрын
The "typical" bullet weights for .38 Special are either 125 grain (hollow points), 130 grain FMJ (target ammo), or 158 grain (multiple bullet types). Obviously there are others, but those are the three weights of bullets most encountered in factory ammo.

Taurus revolvers are very decent handguns. I carry an older Tracker in .44mag during the winter in 4". I think it is the original iteration cause the bluing on it is gorgeous. I put different grips on it but other than that it is carried as is. It's accurate and comfortable. I carry it when stump shooting too with my longbow. Not that heavy on the hip and with the grips I put on it it is even comfortable to shoot with full power .44mag loads. stay safe

That cerakote & wood grip is very nice 👍. Doesn't even look like your typical Taurus. Def cool. (Ready for the 3in, 357 now)

I have a revolver on recall that’s 3” barrel, trying to get Taurus to replace it with another 3” and not the 2” . Mine was deemed unsafe by rossi(Taurus) and they are fighting me on it. They are trying to force me to take the 2” barrel.
