I just got lucky today and won a 971. This one is a older model.

When Interarms out of Alexandria, VA was the importer, the quality was very very good. Now that Taurus is the importer, well, not so much.

Thanks for the review, very helpful. Just a tip, paint the front sight white before painting it orange, it will be much brighter.

really nice gun

Bought one in 4 inch when they first came out in 81. A couple weeks ago I found a 6 inch no dash at my local shop a guy brought in to sell. It's absolutely perfect. These are the best .357 wheel guns ever.

Thanks for the information

Wow that looks like a copyright infringement on the S&W 586 lol

You sound fairly young. I am fairly old. I say that to give credence to the following. I've tried 'em all. I love the 1911 but it is difficult to daily carry. 9mm? I have had and carried many. A 9 is heavy with all the rounds it holds. I kept only one to use at annual qualification because it seems all timed courses limit time in reloading. Autos are faster to reload but I've never heard of a self defense occurence when a reload was neccessary. 380s have insufficient power, no matter what we hear. My Ruger 380 is not very much use beyond 10 yards. It's just me, but I need to know i can hit a man or rouge dog or whatever at longer distance, 15 to 25 yards. A .357 i8 is shorter than 2 inches. Not much, but that bothers me. So for the last several years Ive carried a Colt Cobra, a 2"gun I found unfired at a gun show in the box. It only weighs 14 oz. and holds six. It is infinintly more powerful than a 380. After much research I learned the very best 38 ammo is the 125 grain jhp from Remington's Golden Saber. Having spent 34 years as a trooper, I know a .38 is a viable self defense weapon even in the 2" barrel. Plenty of penetration and expansion. If i can buy another handgun it will be the Taurus 856 UL with a 3" barrel. Thank you for your video. You provide more real world commonsense than the many experts on the Net. Take care, sir.

It is plain Jane I suggest you replace the spring with a Wilson Combat 13 dollars is the best upgrade you'll do all so KSD grips are very good and you can change the front sight with fiber also Galco in my opinion very good holster. One more thing wheel release you can add from the KTC extended version This way you can make it a very sexy-looking gun

I have that one for long time and is still my companion every day , never leave home without it .

Had one. Regret selling it. Keep it!

Como armar una ssmit y Wesson modelo 422

Colt you buy the name 🔫🇺🇸

The speedloaders are not supposed to go flat into the cylinder..what you showed is exactly how they operate.

Thanks for the review and suggestions fro ammo and holster.

The best S&W to buy are those without the hillary hole. The prelock version

Are you going to send it in for the recall fix?

Great video! If you had to do it again, would you buy the stainless version instead?

I have this exact one

It is great when you buy something that exceeds your expectations. The 586-1 4" I bought new is one of those also. I'd never part with it. Enjoy that hand cannon!

I found one for 200 today in great shape at a pawn shop.

I recently bought a Rossi RM64. It looks exactly like your 971, except for rubber grips. I took my grips off and "971" is stamped on the frame. I can't be sure that every part is the same, but my guess is that they just renamed it after the 971 and other Rossi's were recalled a few years ago. I like my RM 64 too!

Had to come back so I did finally get a 6” no dash 586 just like your specimen. And I’m so happy to have it like really happy. But guess what has happened……. I learned about a revolver that’s fairly BA the 627 V Comp gosh they aren’t even lying about this hobby becoming a addiction. I thought yes I have the normal man’s big 3 it’s finally done. Then I learned about that damed V Comp. Now I have 1 issue with the V Comp the STUPID hammer lock. With that said there is absolutely nothing I can do about that besides not buying it. But that’s not gonna happen the revolver is special in my opinion. I must have it in my collection

I live in Switzerland and I have the same Bought for 370 swiss franc

Thanks for your post. I've had my Taurus 856 for several years. It's identical to yours. This revolver has served me well. I'm carrying it today.

I have one just like that

If you think an 856 is "snappy",then OBVIOUSLY you're a soy boy who needs to eat more eggs and meat and lay off the soy milk

I carry the taurus 605. Essentially the same gun but with 5 round capacity. Great snubby!

I’ve had one of those since about 1996. Only fired about 20 rounds ever. Practically mint condition. Don’t recall what I paid for it.

the proper speed loader for the 856 is the HKS 10 or 10A for the S&W K frame or the DS or the colt detective special , both work equally well. the safariland speed loaders for the S&W k frame or the colt detective special should work as well but i have not confirmed this

Took mine home last week in Stainless. The HKS DS-A speedloaders are perfect for this 856

How much does it weigh?

Just an update for the ammo: they started making them with brass casing now

I bought my first gun in January, a 686 no dash with an adjustable front sight, like you, I love it👍🏻👍🏻

this was a time when revolvers did not weigh as much as a boat anchor. 44 ounces is just too heavy. These were about 30 ounces.

Thats my EDC. I USED TO CARRY A SIG P238 SEMI AUTO....Both are small but I prefer the 856.

Just ordered one of these from Palmetto State Armory. It was too cheap to pass up.

Just bought the stainless model.

Try a k frame speedloader

Why do you feel you have to replace it when you have fired it up to 700 time's and had no problems with it. But I do want to know is't to as why you feel the need to fired it up to 700 time's are you that bad of a shot, think of the cost of those 700 rounds and think about it that's 700 people's lives you could have taken that's excessive amount and besides most attacker's are within 30 feet from you, do you need to practice that much.

Excellent honest review

I trust a review with a cylinder ring a little more than one without.

That is nice, I bought mine in as good as shape for $250 in LA CA in 2018, love it.

reliable. easily customized with your preferred ammo and grips. simple & intuitive manual of arms. only $300ish. lifetime warranty. buyable in every state. 6 rounds is enough for normal, lawabiding civilians for protection, if you need more carry a rifle or shotgun, or dont be there. a taurus 856 with hogue monogrips and 158gr lead round nose ammo is my bedside piece. old school is good school.

Kydex holsters leave rub marks

I've had the 856 ultralight for a couple of months. I have been carrying fmj for barriers. Just got some bb ammo tho

great gun love it

I have that gun on my hip right now and love it
