Holsters for Taurus 605

How to choose the best holster for your Taurus 605

The Taurus 605 is a snub-nose revolver built for simplicity and carry comfort. When you're picking a holster, it needs to hold tight, stay comfortable, and give you a clean draw every time. If it shifts, digs in, or leaves the trigger exposed, it’s not worth using. Stick with holsters designed specifically for the 605. They’ll hug the shape right and stay put, whether you're carrying in the waistband, on your ankle, or across your chest. Make sure the trigger’s fully covered and that retention keeps it from bouncing around. Materials matter too. Leather forms to your body. Kydex clicks and locks in tight. Hybrids mix both to give you stability with some flex. Pick what feels best for your setup.

Carry Options for Taurus 605 holsters

Concealed Carry

The Taurus 605 was made for low-profile carry. It’s small enough to tuck away and big enough to count on. A good Taurus 605 concealed carry holster keeps it close to the body without printing and lets you get to it fast without adjusting your belt or jacket. It needs to stay put while you're walking, sitting, or getting in and out of the car. Look for something that keeps the grip tight to your side but doesn’t make you feel like you’re always readjusting.

IWB Holsters

IWB works because it hides the gun without changing your clothes or routine. A Taurus 605 IWB holster needs the right ride height and angle so it draws clean but doesn’t poke your gut when you bend or sit. Pick one with a strong clip and some protection against sweat. The compact size of the 605 makes it perfect for this style, especially if you’re after discreet carry that feels natural.

OWB Holsters

If concealment isn’t your top priority or you’re layering up, OWB is a solid choice. A Taurus 605 OWB holster should ride close enough to avoid flopping around and let you get a full grip right away. Great for open carry or colder weather. As long as it hugs your body and doesn’t swing when you move, it’s a reliable setup.

Shoulder Holsters

Carrying on your shoulder makes sense if you're in and out of vehicles or wear jackets most of the year. A Taurus 605 shoulder holster spreads out the weight and keeps the gun where you can reach it without fumbling under layers. Make sure the harness adjusts well and doesn’t rub your neck. When done right, it’s a comfortable way to carry all day without adding stress to your beltline.

Pocket Holsters

This is where the snub-nose size really shines. A Taurus 605 pocket holster keeps the gun upright and hidden, while breaking up the shape so it doesn’t scream “gun” through your pants. It should stay in the pocket when you draw and hold the gun steady when you move. Good for backup or deep concealment, especially in warmer weather or light clothes.

Ankle Holsters

Not an everyday option for everyone, but useful when waistband space is tight. A Taurus 605 ankle holster wraps around the lower leg and keeps the gun tucked low, usually under the pants leg or near a boot. It’s not the fastest draw, but it’s discreet. Padding helps with comfort, and a snug strap keeps it from sliding around. Best if you’re seated often or need a second gun out of sight.

Chest Holsters

If you’re on the trail, doing ranch work, or just need access without it getting in the way, chest rigs are a smart move. A Taurus 605 chest holster sits mid-torso and stays put when you’re moving, climbing, or carrying gear. Wide straps help distribute the weight, and a good design won’t bounce or shift. It’s all about keeping the revolver handy without crowding your waist.

Appendix Holsters

Appendix carry puts the 605 up front for a quick draw, especially when standing. A Taurus 605 appendix holster should ride just low enough to stay hidden but high enough to grab without fishing under your shirt. Look for something with a wedge or claw to push the grip in tighter. Comfort matters more here than anywhere else since the holster sits so close to your core.

Paddle Holsters

Paddle holsters are great when you don’t want to deal with threading a belt. A Taurus 605 paddle holster slips on quick, locks into place, and comes off easy when you're done. Just make sure it stays put and doesn’t wobble. It should grip tight enough for range use or quick-carry without needing constant readjustment.

Cross Draw Holsters

For long drives or seated carry, cross draw setups give you easier access. A Taurus 605 cross draw holster rests on your support-side hip with the grip pointed toward your strong hand. Good for folks who spend time behind the wheel or have shoulder issues. The trick is getting the cant just right so the draw feels smooth and natural.
