Can you recommend a good holster for a Taurus Model 85?

RetiredMajor · March 2nd, 2008, 07:24 PM

I prefer to wear OWB or between the belt and pants. Any suggestions for a holster that holds the revolver very close to the body?

Thanks,

Try holsters made for Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers. Brock, of Bluegrass Holsters, could probably help you out.

I carry mine in one of these from Don Hume:

It's inexpensive and it works great with my Taurus.

- I find the "store bought" Don Hume JIT and 712OT to be effective budget OWB choices. The JIT is straight drop so I can utilize it those few times I decide to carry cross-draw. The 712 0pen Top holds my small frame revolver high, tight, and comfortably........and conceals admirably.

- "Simply Rugged" makes a very nice, basic handcrafted OWB pancake style holster called the "Silver Dollar" that is extremely comfortable; it is "bargain" priced at $45 !

- ......My very favorite "custom" OWB holster for a small snub-nose revolver is C. Rusty Sherricks U.S. Hight Ride. I nearly forget I am carrying when I wear this rig.....made of horsehide it's a work of art !

These are what I find work for me....the trick of course, is to find what works for you. I think most of us would agree that discovering what works is a "process".

Black hills Leather makes an excellent IWB/Owb combo holster. I have one for my 2" model 10 and love it.

I use one from KD Holsters. I love the IWB because it come with clips that are adjustable with Chicago screws. You can adjust how high or low you carry, plus you can adjust the cant to a certain degree.

I find as a woman that I need a lot of adjustability so I can vary my carry according to my clothes.

My Dad loves them too.
