Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What type of pistol grips should be avoided?
When choosing pistol grips for Taurus, it is generally recommended to avoid grips like Tea Cup, Low Grip, Non Trigger Finger Grip, and Wrist Brace. These grips may not provide the best ergonomics and stability when handling the firearm.
2. Can you change the grips on a Taurus G3?
Yes, you can change the grips on a Taurus G3. The installation process is quick and easy, and the grips can be removed cleanly at any time, allowing you to return your pistol to its original factory condition.

3. What is the difference between a Taurus 856 and 605?
The main difference between a Taurus 856 and 605 is their chambering and capacity. The Taurus 856 is a six-shot revolver chambered in .38 Spl., while the Taurus 605 has five chambers and uses .357 Mag. rounds. This difference in chambering affects the ammunition options and potential stopping power of the two models.
4. Will a Taurus 85 grip fit a 856?
In most cases, small-frame Taurus grips intended for the Taurus 85 will fit the Taurus 856. So if you have grips designed for the Taurus 85, they should be compatible with the Taurus 856 as well.
5. Will Beretta grips fit Taurus?
No, Beretta grips are not interchangeable with Taurus grips. While some Taurus models may share similarities with Beretta firearms, like the Taurus PT92, it is important to note that the Beretta 92 grips are not compatible with Taurus firearms. Taurus grips are specifically designed to fit Taurus models, so it is advisable to use Taurus grips for Taurus firearms.
6. How many rounds can you put through a Taurus G3?
The Taurus G3 is a 15-round pistol with a flush-fit magazine. It also comes with an additional 17-round magazine that includes a sleeve on the bottom to prevent over-insertion. This gives you a total capacity of either 15 or 17 rounds, depending on the magazine you choose to use.
7. Can you pocket carry a Taurus 856?
Pocket carry with a Taurus 856 may not be ideal due to its size. While it is possible for some individuals to pocket carry a 3 or 4 inch revolver, the Taurus 856's extra inch in barrel length may make it more suitable for carrying in an inside-the-waistband (IWB) holster rather than a pocket holster.
8. What is the difference between the Taurus 856 and 85s?
The Taurus 856 is an expanded version of the Taurus 85 line. While both models share similarities, the Taurus 856 adds an additional round to the cylinder, increasing its capacity to 6 rounds. This slight increase in capacity can be beneficial in certain situations where having an extra round can make a difference.
