Nice gun. Beautiful. Taurus QC is a bit loose (a small hairline barrel scratch visible at certain angle, slightly raised edge on one side of trigger, a few light machine marks/buffs on the outside metal handle) but it's good. This could also be a sign of the times. The action isn't as smooth as any given Smith & Wesson, but again it's good for the price. This is my 2nd Taurus, the first was a parkerized model 66 a few years ago, with wood grips which had zero cosmetic blemishes. That one shoots well. I like that this 856 has 6 chambers. P is demarcated under the barrel with an asterik after .38 spcl. Keep in mind matte stainless is arguably likely to scratch worse than a polished version. (I bought mine for 407 plus tax, 425 with a 30 dollar mail in rebate which was approved but I've yet to receive). Good feel in hand (I'm 6'3). I've yet to shoot her. I heard 38's are better as snubs than .357's for ballistics, weight and noise reasons, particularly if you are buying a more economic brand--get the .38. Bottom line--I'm not kicking her out of bed. ^^

Beautiful gun. Great grip. Cylinder tolerances not on point. Loading gun was very tight, after shooting, had to use a writing pen to get the brass out.....bottom line, buy a smith and wesson or colt.

Buds is easy to order from, product arrived quickly. This Taurus 856 fits my hand very nicely for a smaller revolver. It is a little heavier than I was expecting but not unmanageable or uncomfortable. Great fit and finish. Overall very satisfied!

I find the fit and finish up to par. I have been wanting a six round snub nose. The Taurus 856 has a good reputation. Buds put it out there for fair price and I ordered mine. I had looked it up on line, the stainless model was said to be +P rated. Upon getting home while cleaning and lubing my new pistol. I noticed: No were was a +P stamp on the pistol. I called Buds and asked why. A customer service young man had no clue. So after he was done telling me the rules. I asked for a supervisor. The Supervisor said it was rated +P even though it’s not stamped as such. The pistol was deemed non returnable. A +P stamp would have been reassuring.

Very good looking revolver. The walnut grips really set it off. I haven't shot yet but I already own a black 856 with rubber grips and it works great. Pretty sure this one will be no different. Thanks again Buds.

Recently purchased this gun and couldn't be happier. It looks great, feels great, and shoots great. No way to go wrong with this revolver.
