NEW Taurus 856 & 605 T.O.R.O. Micro Red Dot Equipped Revolvers [SHOT Show 2023]

IT DOESN’T TAKE GLOCK MAGS, BUT IT DOES TAKE A RED DOT!

Announced a few days ago, this was our first look at the Taurus 856 and 605 T.O.R.O. revolvers with the new red dot mounting system!

Designed for the Holosun K footprint of micro red dots, these are small frame revolvers in 6-shot .38 Spl and 5-shot .357 Magnum, perfect for CCW.

Both revolvers are DA/SA, have a removable front sight blade, and a compact rubberized grip. 

Both guns feel good in your hands, and it’s surprisingly easy to stay on target with the red dot while working a long DA trigger pull.

Made from stainless steel and featuring a transfer bar safety, these are exactly what you should expect from Taurus as far as the gun goes. Really, the big change is the red dot mounting.

While red dots have exploded in popularity for semi-auto pistols in the CCW, duty, and competition worlds – a production CCW revolver that can mount a red dot simply hasn’t been done before this (that we’re aware of). 

Sadly, the optic is not included with the gun – but MSRP is only $450-470.
