Any word on 3” 856 availability?

Who makes it? What is it?

https://www.guns.com/news/2020/01/29/new-taurus-defender-856-3-inch-revolver-line-unveiled It comes out in the 2nd quarter according to Taurus.

First I have seen of this gun. Taurus is making some good looking revolvers! I might have to take a good look at this one. I wish that they sill made the high polish blue.

I am looking at these with interest, but one thing that concerns me is the weight.

The alloy ones seem like they would be too light to be comfortable to shoot at 16 ounces. The steel ones seem heavy for what they are at 35 ounces.



So I don't know - but I'm willing to keep an open mind. We'll see what the reviews from actual users say.

Are these guns going to be .38 Special +P or just standard pressure .38 Special?
