Taurus 856 Defender...anyone have one yet?

The 3 inch barrel and big underlug make for a nice looking wheel gun. Was wondering if anyone had one yet and how they shoot?

No, but once this foolishness is over I’m hoping to get the ultralight model

I have the 856 hammerless in stainless with the replaceable front sight. Its not a bad little revolver, especially for the price(pre pandemic). The trigger pull wasnt gritty, just a bit long and heavy, but it’s the dao model, so pretty decent. Maybe with a slightly lighter spring and some gentle polishing it’d be a lot nicer.
