I got an 856 UL version last year and think they are good. The cylinder has a reputation of binding, but from my experience if you can clean and oil the cylinder mechanism when needed, not an issue, works good. Honestly, at the price point, it is nicer than I thought it would be, came with 2 sets of grips and I thought the night sight was a nice touch for a lower end priced revolver. I didn't expect any nice details, but they are there - and reviewing compared to ruger or S&W comparable models, the Taurus features are a little different and to me better to be honest, and 6 rounds compared to Ruger's 5 in their LCR revolvers, so - for what it is Taurus did a nice job with this revolver. I wanted an UL, and it is light. If I wanted a really good pistol, not a tool/carry piece I might have gone a different direction and spent a lot more.
