Why Choose a Duty Holster?
Duty holsters are specifically designed for law enforcement, military, and security professionals who need secure, reliable firearm retention with rapid access. Built for open carry, duty holsters prioritise safety, durability, and tactical functionality in high-stress environments.
Maximum retention and security
Duty holsters feature advanced retention systems such as hood guards, thumb breaks, and locking mechanisms to keep your Taurus G3C secure, preventing unauthorized removal during confrontations.
Designed for open carry
Duty holsters are made for open carry with uniforms or tactical setups. Their robust build ensures stability, while their visibility acts as a deterrent in professional settings.
Fast draw under stress
Despite their high retention, duty holsters are engineered for quick and natural draws when every second matters. Proper training allows for fluid disengagement of retention features during a draw stroke.
Built for durability
Constructed from high-strength materials like reinforced polymer or premium leather, duty holsters withstand daily wear, harsh weather, and rigorous use without compromising performance.
Compatible with duty belts and gear
Duty holsters integrate seamlessly with standard duty belts and MOLLE setups, allowing professionals to carry their Taurus G3C comfortably alongside other essential equipment.
Best for full-size firearms
Duty holsters are designed to carry full-size pistols, often with lights, optics, or other tactical attachments, supporting the weight while maintaining security and comfort.
Whether you’re on patrol, at a tactical training course, or working in professional security, a duty holster ensures your Taurus G3C stays secure and accessible at all times.
How to Choose the Right Taurus G3C Duty Holster for Your Needs
Body type and fit
Select a holster that mounts securely to your duty belt without shifting. Models with adjustable ride height and cant allow you to optimise comfort and draw angle based on your body type.
Gun size and attachments
Ensure your duty holster is molded precisely for your Taurus G3C, including any lights, lasers, or optics you carry on duty.
Retention level
Choose the appropriate retention level (Level I, II, III, or IV) based on your department’s requirements and your operational environment. Higher retention levels offer added security but require training to draw efficiently.
Carry position
Most duty holsters are worn on the dominant side hip, slightly forward or straight drop, depending on departmental standards and ergonomic preference.
Handedness
Ensure your holster is configured for your dominant hand to allow a smooth, confident draw under stress.
Comfort features
Look for holsters with contoured backings or padding where they contact the hip, especially if you’re wearing your holster for long shifts.
