Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Taurus 85 in .38 Special is a compact, straightforward snub-nose revolver built for concealment and everyday carry. Its 2" barrel and deep-blued finish give it a small, easily carried profile that points naturally and is simple to deploy in close-range defensive situations. The serrated blade front paired with a square-cut rear sight provides a clear, snag-resistant sight picture appropriate for short-range work, while the short sight radius and stout cartridge combine to favor quick, instinctive aiming rather than long-range precision.

Ergonomically, the synthetic finger-groove grips help index the hand and manage recoil from the .38 Special loads the gun is chambered for, keeping follow-up shots controllable for most shooters. As a double-action revolver, it offers a reliable, intuitive trigger system that is forgiving under stress and mechanically simple to maintain—qualities that make it attractive for users who want a durable, low-fuss defensive sidearm. Overall, the Taurus 85 balances compact size, practical ergonomics, and straightforward functionality for concealed-carry or backup-gun roles.
