PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONDave said:Do they have a 6 round 367?
Last was the discontinued Mdl 606 w/ the 2¼" barrel.Dave said:I'm sorry, I ment do they have a 6 shot 357 in 2" ?
Although the web site & catalog doesn't say so (2"), the barrels on these models are actually 2¼".Elm Creek Smith said:They have the 617 in .357 Magnum which is a 7-shot .357 Magnum and the 817 which is a 7-shot .38 Special both in 2 inch barrels with fixed sights. I'm considering a 617 SS or 817 SSUL.

What made you choose the 817 over the more versatile 617? Was it the combination of high capacity and light weight?NYPD said:I have an 817 UL and even though the frame is similar to the Tracker it still conceals quite nicely with a good belt holster. I've even carried it IWB. It actually weighs less than a stainless 85.
Lightweight....and I got a great price for my blued 817UL---$299 brand new.badge851 said:What made you choose the 817 over the more versatile 617? was it the combination of high capacity and light weight?
FWIW the UL Magnesium Mdl 856 IS NOT +P Rated, only the steel frame models are.Indrid Cold said:I visited a shop today and asked about the new 856 6-round .38 SPL+P in magnesium alloy. Unfortunately it's not yet available, but they were able to get me a price quote of ~$380.00 (before sales tax). It's listed on the Taurus website at:

The blue steel version is 22 oz and the magnesium version is only 13 oz--that's amazingly light.

That's a bummer for me, I was hoping for .38 light weight with 1 7/8" - 2" MAX for CC pocket carry. Why the longer S&W model 60 size barrel? for more control since it's so light?badge851 said:Although the web site & catalog doesn't say so (2"), the barrels on these models are actually 2¼".
The 617/817 series have 2¼" barrels; the 85 series 38 Specials all have true 2" barrels.jbone said:That's a bummer for me, I was hoping for .38 light weight with 1 7/8" - 2" MAX for CC pocket carry. Why the longer S&W model 60 size barrel? for more control since it's so light?
