This is a firearm — here's how it works
- Order online. Pay in full; we ship it from our warehouse into the shop.
- We receive it. The firearm ships to us (or your chosen FFL) — never to your door.
- DROS & the 10-day wait. California background check and the mandatory 10-day waiting period begin at the counter.
- Pick up & transfer. Bring valid ID and required documents; we complete the compliant transfer.
Description
The 856 model is ultra fast, ultra reliable, and has the capacity of six shots. They are available in blued steel, and now they have 20% more firepower with virtually no gain in size. The overall frame depth and height were not changed, and a model 856 fits easily into any model 85 holster. They also feature the Taurus Security System.

California compliance
Every firearm sale runs through the standard California process: an in-person DROS background check, the mandatory 10-day waiting period, a valid Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and proof of California residency. The 11% AB 28 firearms excise tax is collected at checkout and shown as a separate, non-taxable line.
