taurus model 85
The Model 85 is available in several configurations. These include blued steel, stainless steel, polymer frame, and “Ultralite” variants constructed of aluminum and titanium, with steel lockwork components.
Much like Smith & Wesson revolvers, Model 85s can come equipped with exposed, “bobbed” (850), or shrouded (851) hammers. However, there are a number of significant internal differences between the Taurus 85 and similar Smith & Wesson revolvers.[2] Because of these differences, Taurus has been able to keep costs relatively low.

Models manufactured after 1997 feature the Taurus Security System, which consists of a keyed, quarter-turn style socket-head screw which can be set to prevent the hammer from pivoting back into the frame, thus rendering the weapon inoperative.
The Model 85 line has been enlarged to include the Model 856. This model is similar to the Model 85, but adds an additional round in the cylinder to bring the Model 856’s capacity to 6 rounds.[4]
The View, also known as the model 85VTA, was introduced in 2014.[5] It has a 1.41 inch barrel, an aluminum frame and titanium cylinder, and a clear polycarbonate side plate for an unloaded weight of 9.5 ounces.[6][7][8] Unlike other models, the View is only rated for standard pressure .38 Special ammunition.
