    They hide/stash some stuff under the cardboard divider thing in the box. A "bull head" grip, if yours didn't come with one mounted, and an extra sight blade. Check there for your screw baggie.

    The screw set is seven bucks. My personal inclination would be to just order a set.

    That list of items is helpful - I am also missing the sight blade. I had checked in those areas and nothing was there.

    I’d check with the store you bought it from. Some places pull the extra magazines from boxes so they can sell them and tell the customer that the gun only comes with one. This place might have done the same thing with the parts in the box.

    I have already done that as well. Appears that either Taurus did not include, or someone at the distributor removed it. Thanks,

    Probably an error when the boxes were packed. I can't see any of that stuff being worth anybody filching it out of a box. FWIW, the 856 I bought in late April or early May (my second) was missing some of the bits I mentioned as being stashed under the cardboard..

    Just order it. It's just not worth your time and effort to pester (anybody's) customer service so that they can "make it right" over a readily available $6 part. Standard Internetz disclaimers apply: IMHO&YMMV.

    I see JM Custom Kydex is now listing the 856 as one they make holsters for.

    Got one on order.

    I am quite looking forward to reading @Tamara ‘s article on the 856 Toro.

    edit to add
    I'm doubting "na" is "NOW AVAILABLE!"

    Dark Star Gear Apollo is available from Taurus' webstore (but is not on DSG's page), and looks like it wouldn't be difficult to modify to accept an optic equipped 856.

    I’ll wait for the proper product instead of cutting on a holster. I understand these aren’t a high priority because they aren’t going to sell very many and I don’t mind the delay.
