range=The Model 85 is a small-frame revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company.

The Model 85 is available in several configurations, including a basic blued steel version, "Ultralite" variants made of aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, and models with bobbed hammers. In addition, there are numerous cosmetic options, including gold-plated hardware and grips of wood or pearl. The Model 85 is outfitted with a 2" barrel, is capable of firing +P rated .38 Special rounds, and utilizes a transfer bar safety.

Recently manufactured models feature the "Taurus Security System," which consists of a keyed, quarter-turn style socket-head screw which can be set to prevent the hammer from pivoting back into the frame, thus rendering the weapon inoperative.
