the dude's just casually shooting a new snubnose at 40 yards, and not missing a shot, wow! kudos! bravo! 👍🤯👍👏👏👏

Taurus has really cornered the mid-grade revolver market. Excellent choices from Taurus.

I have exact revolver. I'm a new gun ccw and needed a revolver first to learn and discipline myself on ccw life. I saw this at the shop and what made me get it was the weight of the gun. Very light, and powerful kick. But the more I practiced with it the better I get at hitting targets. I RECOMMEND THIS gun to the ccw people.

These Taurus revolvers are the best looking and the most ergonomic. Change my mind.

The returning popularity of the revolver cheers my heart. I am over soulless plastic.

A Lot of folks knock Taurus firearms, but I actually appreciate them for the simple fact they Work. Not a thing wrong with em.

Taurus has brought their A-Game for the last few years. Id trust my life with any of their revolvers.

That was nice of them to send the scale.

Impressive marksmanship @ distance w/a snubbie.

Taurus original model 85 revolver has kept the lights on at Taurus. Meaning they sold a ton and they work.

About four-five years ago, I bought a Taurus Ultra-Lite and did not care for it. The trigger pull was almost 17 pounds. You make this gun look easier than what my experience was.

I've been tempted by this revolver many times. Looks like a nice little shooter.

Love REAL gun channels like this (a real person shooting on a real range); great job!!

I’m loving these 856 videos. I just bought one, the stainless steel version, after admiring these for several years. My barrel actually measures 2.108” with my caliper I use for reloading. It turns in an average of 1090 FPS with Underwood 125 +P JHP ammo. Mine has a very nice trigger in both DA and SA modes. I do not have a trigger pull weight scale but I can say I believe mine is in the nine pound range DA and probably no more than three pounds SA. It carries well. Shoots great. The one I have seems to be every bit as good as my Rugers, S&Ws, and my long favorite Charter Bulldog from the Bridgeport era. Great video!

During the pandemic, I tried for months to get the bobbed hammer version of this. I settled for the 856 in SS. It's heavier, but I've yet to have a problem with it after 1,000 rounds and I never feel under armed with 6 rounds of good .38 special

I bought a Taurus 905 in stainless 4 or 5 years ago. I've carried it every day since. Zero problems. It is a great little revolver! I've been thinking about picking up a .38 version and your video pushed me over the edge. 👍👍!!!

My wife and I are Shield carriers, but with all the guns I have, I had no revolvers. For the heck of it, I bought the standard weight Taurus 856 and love it! My wife like mine so much, we got her one and now she carries that and the Shield is in the safe. I reload, so I made up some snake shot rounds for the occasional rattlesnake on our property. Zero problems with either revolver, but heaven help you if you lose a spring! Taurus customer support is negligible….they will not sell any parts. Thank goodness I found that spring!

Really like your straight to the point video. Nice to see a video without some foul language. Great job.

Buffalo is one of THE BEST marksmen on YT! The man just doesn't miss. 👏

It's always a good afternoon when Buffalo posts a new video. Nice shooting is always Buffalo!

Buffalo's double action ability is outstanding. Keep them coming your reviews are excellent. Just the facts no bullshit.😊

Taurus has really steped up their game they're really the budget king in my book the life time warranty really helps

I love the staging of a revolver, the sear click and then bang and ding. And some fine shooting with a snub I might add.

There are many reasons to carry a revolver for self defense. Simple safe reliable are important. Thanks for the video.

Looks like David got himself a keeper. Taurus has made a big push to improve QC lately, and it shows.

Thanks to David for sharing this sweet little gun. Buffalo sure shoots it well. Thanks for the review.

0:13 nice shooting.

I had an earlier model 856 UL and I ended up swapping it out for the 605 because I wanted 357 Mag capabilities. If I knew at the time that 38+p isn't far off from a 357 Mag out of a 2 inch barrel.... I would have never switched. I loved carrying that gun in my pocket.

Man o man. I wish I could be as steady when shooting. My adrenaline just jumps up and I get s- s- shaky. But good shooting for sure with that Taurus 856. Your friend has a good one. And I've heard Taurus has improved a lot in recent times. Good on 'em.

I love revolves, stacking the trigger was kinda weird at first but after breaking it in with snapcaps its a synch now.

Buffalo you are the greatest person ever I love my Taurus 856 gets the job done indeed

Me and my mom just purchase the same revolvers this weekend. I think its perfect for CCW and shes in her 60s so its simple and effective in case she ever has to defend herself.

Thanks for the review. My Taurus 605, five-shot, .357 (same gun with a 24 oz steel frame) shoots spot on to point of aim. I plan on picking up the 856 ultra- light. Taurus seems to be making some good little revolvers at a heck of a price.

Enjoy watching your double action trigger control and accuracy. Your reviews are very informative.

Been kicking around the idea of getting a 856 in a longer barrel length. Appreciate the video Buffalo. Nice shooting with that stubby!

Have a 856ul, love it, it's my everyday carry!

I have the steel-framed 856, with the factory bobbed hammer. I like it a lot.

This is my truck gun. I have no complaints, it’s a great little shooter!

These are great little revolvers. A friend lent me his model 605 and I was impressed

I was very impressed with that 7 yard head shot group. I hope I can get that good with mine.

My dad used to always carry a 38spl and when he passed I got his guns one of which was a Taurus 85UL. It only holds 5 rounds of 38spl but it is nice to shoot and I am slowly understanding why he liked them so much. After carrying it for a couple weeks I put it away because I didnt want to lose it if I were ever in a self defense situation. Sometimes the police take your firearm and sometimes they dont. Same goes with getting them back. You may or may not depending on the situation. Even then you may not see it for months. I had a buddy selling a Taurus 605 which is almost identical with the exception that its a 357mag 5 shot. So I picked that up and carry it from time to time. Took it to the range and its a snappy little spitfire. I admit I need more practice with it as I am used to 9mm and 45acp but for the money and quality you get with a Taurus its not bad. Great video as always Buffalo!!! Thanks!!

There good solid revolvers for the money have a old 85 Taurus with wood grips love it carry it as back up to my Glock

I used to have one of these. I sold it, and now regret doing so. I plan to get another one.

I don’t own one yet so can’t address function - but I’d say the 856 is the most handsome snubby design of the big 3 revolver makers.

Those Taurus guns have been geting better all the time and at a reasonable price too.

Thanks, Buffalo. Light revolvers are great. They need to get more coverage, I'm glad you did this video. One of my three "most used" EDC guns is a S&W 642. I prefer a DAO "hammerless" or a concealed hammer like a S&W 38/638/438. I also have a Colt Detective Special with an added hammer shroud. I prefer stainless/aluminum construction for concealed carry in the hot/humid climate where I live. I'm always sweating on the gun and wipe it off with a cloth every day when I take it off for the night. The Stainless hasn't rusted, but sweat can attack the anodized finish on the aluminum frame. Taurus should consider adding a concealed hammer model and a stainless/aluminum model. FYI, both the Colt and the S&W fit in the same DeSantis Mini-Scabbard holster with just an adjustment of the tension screw. I imagine this revolver would fit the same holsters. As for the rubber grips...they are fine at the range. Especially when shooting +P ammo. I've had trouble with them for concealed carry. They are a bit "sticky" in texture and can cling to your shirt and leave you gun exposed when getting out of a vehicle or reaching for stuff on the top shelf in the grocery store. For CC I prefer small wood grips and add a "Tyler T-grip" adapter. Old school. But...I'm old.

I struggle shooting double action accurate. You do great with it.

Awesome video took my light weight 38sp out too the gun range today just got back home

Excellent shooting as always. Thank you for sharing.

That revolver is almost as handsome as your range. Joy to watch your marksmanship. ☀️

Definitely a solid looking alternative to a J frame. The grips look like they'll do pretty good to make the shooting experience better. Been eyeballing a lot of revolvers as of late...recently picked up a 629. Wife has a 638 J frame, but she's never fired it since it was a limited run with some collectability. Need a better trigger pull gauge that registers higher than my wheeler. Will be on the lookout for your review of the one you used. Anyways, thanks for the review!

I used to have a model 85, great little snubby that I let get away from me. This little gun has been on my radar for a bit. Now that I know it’s +p rated I’m picking up one for sure.

There it is. Another super fine job at shooting and shooting. Thanks for doing what you do Buffalo!!! Always waiting to see what you shoot next.

i noticed how nice that revolver will double stage it's shots .important feature ....nice shooting !

I’d imagine that a steady diet of .38 Special +P would eventually cause the frame to elongate and cause cylinder timing issues, but the average consumer will never put enough rounds through it to worry about any safety issues.

👍👍Thanks Buffalo. I always value your opinion on firearms.

Got this in stainless on sale with the additional laser grip to swap out. I put it on but this gun shoots so accurate you dont need the laser grip. Also it isnt the easoest to turn on(it is grip activated of you have it turned on). I like taurus. I also own the 4inch tracker in .357 and the 605 poly on coyote tan in 357.

Fine Shooting! Very Nice Firearm. Way to Go, Buffalo. Thanks Brother.

I've had nothing but great success with taurus revolvers. Great weight, great price, 6 rounds and ergonomic?! That's an easy choice.

I have the 856 with 3 inch barrel and absolutely love it

Nice revolver brother 👍

Another Entertaining Video. Thank you

Best pistol shot on the web, great job Buffalo!

Keep up the good work Buffalo

I have the 905 in 9mm, got TK Custom moon clips and loader. What a great snub modeling 9mm. Good terminal performance and cheaper to shoot than .38

I saw that Taurus makes a 856 TORO, which is an optics ready version of this revolver. It seems like people are putting optics on just about everything nowadays. That scale looks great, it's nice to be able to measure heavier pull weights.

*Man you are good, I carried back in 2007 an S&W .38 Air weight, and I didn't care much for the recoil and the 5-shot cylinder, you make it look way too easy on the hand, thanks, just subscribed!* 👍

Best review on the 856 in all of the internet.good job Buffalo

I have the blue VZ grips on mine, gives me room for all the booger pickers. I carry Speer 135 grain +p in it, or Rem green & white box 125 grain sjhp +p. I'm always on the lookout for HST's for it.

The only Taurus pistol I have is the Taurus revolver model 85. Solid, reliable and accurate. Bought it brand new in 2004 and still have it. I like this new 856 ultra lite model. I might just buy one.

Thanks David for lending him your gun.

I have a Taurus .357 4 inch. One of my favorite wheel guns

Thanks enjoyed , just purchased the 856 UL Nice little gun great price and hits were you point it. You sold me on this one👍

Thanks for the view

Buffalo, Great video. I own 4 Taurus guns. So far so good.

Just got one of these for my wife. The ridges on the back of the grip actually caused pain when you shoot it. I changed them with a smooth wood grip. It's an excellent CCW pistol.

I have the 856 it's a great gun had no problems with it. Great Video

Taurus had an Ultra Lite model called the 450 that was in 45 colt but the pandemic screwed up their titanium supply so they dropped it. It must have been a pretty good gun because I've been looking for one two years now and they almost never show up. I'll get one someday...lol

will be adding to collection

hitting 40 yards with that. you're good. 👍

That's a neat trigger scale. Nice shooting too!!!

About 25 years ago I bought the first 5 shot ultra lite I could get my hands on. Model 85. Everyone that has shot it comments favorably. I used to have an 18" gong on my property at 100 yards and when I was feeling my oats I could ring it 5 out of 5 times with my handloads. Sure a nice little gun. Would be nice if it was a 6 shooter but it is what it is.

Nice - the concealed hammer is a good winter pocket carry. If there is a good ankle holster, that would be a great way to stow it when you have to take your jacket off, like in a restaurant.

I really miss the stainless Taurus 85CH that rode in an ankle holster and sometimes in a pants pocket for a number of years before I retired as an LEO. It was a five shooter but +P ammo in the cylinder and two speed loaders in a pocket never left me feeling under armed.

That's some good shootin there Tex.

Got this for my wife she loves it. Think I might need one!

Sounds like it is accurate!😊

I have two of these great cw and they do the job havent had to plant anyone yet but Im sure it will work if needed great video

Love your videos brother! Good shooting as usual! I had a lot of experience with my dad and a model 36. Absoulutely loved that gun. I SAW him take a running Jackrabbit at 25 yards in tge trucks headlights one night. Snow storm. Yes, he was an expert. I will be getting one of these as soon as i can. God bless you and your's brother. You are good people! God bless all here.

Good to have lower cost reliable options. Thanks for sharing!

You’re a very good shot. Impressive! Very pretty revolver too.

Nice revolber

I have the 856 Defender +P three inch matte black stainless steel. I think they use cerakote over the stainless steel. It came with a tritium day/night front sight with a spare dot front sight. It also came with Hogue rubber grips and with the smaller Taurus rubber grips. Price was around $379.99 but after taxes and NICS over $400. I like it a lot. I just need to get it to the gun range and get some rounds through it. Got an Andicen IWB/OWB leather thumb break/snap holster for both inside and outside the pants. Thanks for the wheel love.

Fine shooting & wheel gun. Always nice to hear a good revolver talking.

Great video as always Buffalo. Really like how you go into detail so much.

You're a beast. I have the 9mm version of this revolver. I don't think I'd be plinking targets with it like you can! It definitely takes some practice. I gave in and got a striker-fire pistol, but this video makes me want to break out the revolver and have some fun.

Bought one about 3 months ago for $300 at my local shop, great little revolver for the price.

I have a strong preference for the Taurus 856 and intend to purchase it in the near future. On the positive side, it offers several advantages over the previous model 605, such as an increased round capacity of 6 instead of 5. However, on the negative side, I would have preferred a blued finish rather than the current ceracoted black finish.

Been looking for an ultralight in stainless with a concealed hammer. Thanks for sharing.

I could not hit that target 10 ft away from it with that little gun. I bought one and hatted it. I want never be as good of a shot as Buffalo
