The Taurus Model 85 is a snub nose 5 shot revolver chambered for .38 special. It came in full hammer Blued but also was available in Stainless Steel. The bobbed hammer, humped backed "concealed carry" version is the Taurus Model 851 which owes it's design lineage to the Smith & Wesson Model 38/49 Bodyguard series of revolvers. Both the Model 85 and the 851 come in different style variations as well as finishes.

Taurus Model 851 "Bobbed Hammer" revolver - .38 spl. Some versions of this gun are known as the "CIA" revolver, but this is strictly a Taurus product name, and is not affiliated with the Agency.
