Taurus 856, Thai stocks, Tyler T

[keystone Al]

I like the small Magna type grips and the classic Tyler adapters for my snub nose revolvers. Had to do a little trimming but the Thai grips with checkered inlays make this 856 very easy to pocket carry and IWB carry. Had to do a little trimming on the Tyler as well. I lucked out and got the Tyler T from a friend for a little bit of 9mm ammo. I have a model 60 Smith and model 85 Taurus but the 6 shot 856 fits my needs well.

Had the same idea with this Taurus 731. The grips are from Shop Taurus and the grip adapter is from Robertson Trading Post.

Nice! It looks great.

Does a standard J frame grip adapter fit a frame framed Taurus? I haven't tried it, but that would be a nice option.

I've used a standard K-frame Tyler's on a Taurus 82 way back in the day with no problem. Can't swear it'll work for anyone else.

A BK might be easier if you have to modify it being made out of some kind of resin, and I wouldn't want to grind/sand/file on a real tylers these days.

The J frame grip adapters have fit all of the small frame Taurus revolvers that I own. The BK grip website states the following :

”Customers have reported that the J adapter fits properly on Taurusmodels 85, 605, 856 and 905. Other customers have reported that a J adapter fits the Rossi M68 and M88 models. The J adapter is supposed to fit properly on many Charter revolvers, and customers have reported success with the Undercover, Off Duty and Bulldog models. But I can’t guarantee that a J adapter fits on all Charter revolvers, and I don’t have a specific list of compatible models to offer.”

I had to modify one slightly to fit a Charter Arms Off Duty but no mods for a Taurus.
