The Taurus 856 (a 6 shot revolver only the smallest bit bigger than a Taurus 85) is now coming available in the market. My LGS got 2 and I bought one. Both seemed excellent on inspection. Nice fit and finish. The trigger is very nice and the lock up is tight. The price for the matt blue version was $289 plus tax in my LGS. It shot very well at the range.

Last year I paid $799 of a Kimber K6S because it gave me 6 shots in a gun that fits into a J-frame holster. The Taurus 856 fits the same holsters and while it's not as fancy as the Kimber, it sure seems to be a great carry gun and well worth looking at if you see one.
