Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There's a reason the snub-nose .38 never went away. The Taurus 850 takes that proven formula and gives it a modern refresh: a small-frame, 5-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special, built with a matte stainless finish, a fully shrouded hammer, and a double-action-only trigger. No hammer spur to catch on a cover garment or jacket pocket, just a smooth profile that comes out of the holster clean every time.
This version wears a 3-inch barrel, and that extra inch over the standard snubby does more than you'd think. You get a longer sight radius for better practical accuracy, a bit more velocity out of your defensive loads, and added weight up front that helps tame muzzle flip. At roughly 24 ounces, the all-steel construction settles into the hand and makes range sessions far more pleasant than the ultralight alloy guns in this class. The black rubber grip fills the hand well and takes the sting out of recoil, which matters when you want to train with the same gun you carry.
The DAO trigger gives you one consistent pull for every shot, which keeps things simple under stress and makes this a solid pick for newer revolver owners and seasoned wheelgun fans alike. Sights are a removable serrated blade up front paired with a fixed rear notch, rugged and fuss-free. And since the 850 is built on a small-frame 5-shot layout, it plays nicely with the huge existing market of speed loaders, speed strips, and holsters made for this size of revolver.
Stainless steel resists sweat and the elements better than carbon steel, so this one holds up to daily carry inside the waistband or riding in a bag. Load it, carry it, shoot it. The 850 keeps the snubby tradition alive and does it with a build quality that punches above its weight.
That's exactly what it was designed for. The fully shrouded hammer means nothing catches on clothing during the draw, and the streamlined small-frame profile keeps printing to a minimum. The 3-inch barrel is still very concealable while giving you better sights and recoil control than a 2-inch snubby.
Both share the same 5-shot cylinder, DAO trigger, and shrouded hammer design. The 3-inch version gives you a longer sight radius, slightly higher velocity from your ammo, and a touch more weight up front to soften recoil. The 2-inch trades those benefits for a smaller overall package that's a bit easier to pocket carry.
In most cases, yes. The 850 is built on a standard small-frame 5-shot layout, so it's compatible with a wide range of speed loaders and holsters already on the market for revolvers in this size class. That makes finding carry gear and reloading accessories easy from day one.
No, this is a double-action-only revolver with a concealed, internally shrouded hammer. Every trigger pull is the same long, smooth stroke, which keeps operation simple and consistent. It's a setup that works especially well for defensive use since there's nothing to cock and nothing to snag.
