I hate you guys. Darn you all to heck. I read about this gun a while back, but dismissed it as being a.) a Taurus and b.) unavailable. So I forgot about it until now.

Went to the LGS this morning and they had one. It locked up tighter than any revolver I've ever owned (more than I can count), and it was as small as I expected it to be. Paid $325 plus tax and took it home.

The grips feel very good. The DA trigger stages somewhat like a Ruger. It's gritty, but I haven't cleaned the packing oil off yet.

It's not +P from what I understand, so with such a short barrel most standard pressure JHP ammo can't be expected to expand. I don't know yet if this will be a SD gun or a fun gun, so that may not matter. For this price, it's just a nice 6-round snubbie.

Taurus 856 next to a S&W 640:
