Holsters for Taurus 942
How to choose the best holster for your Taurus 942
Start with comfort. The Taurus 942 is light and compact, so a holster should keep it secure without adding bulk or poking your side. Look for something molded specifically for the 942. It’ll hold tighter and draw cleaner than a generic fit. If you're planning on daily carry, weight balance and retention matter more than you might think. A solid clip or loop setup keeps it steady, whether you're walking around or sitting in traffic. Material makes a difference. Leather softens up and feels good against your body, especially when it’s cold out. Kydex stays firm and holds shape no matter the weather. Hybrids split the difference. What matters most is how it feels when you wear it all day. The right material disappears against your body and doesn’t draw attention.
Best Taurus 942 IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Taurus 942. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Taurus 942 OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Taurus 942 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Taurus 942 Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Taurus 942. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Taurus 942 holsters
Concealed Carry
IWB Holsters
Taurus 942 IWB holsters ride inside your waistband, so they stay out of sight and close to your body. These are a top choice for daily carry. If you're sitting often or driving a lot, look for soft edges that don’t dig in. Adjustable cant helps you dial in the grip angle, which can make a big difference on the draw. Since the 942 is light, it won’t drag on your belt if the holster has a decent clip and a clean fit.
OWB Holsters
Taurus 942 OWB holsters ride outside the waistband and give you some breathing room. This setup works best if you're wearing a jacket or hoodie and want quicker access without pressure on your waistline. Look for holsters that sit tight to the body. That helps keep your gun from printing through clothes while still making it easy to reach.
Shoulder Holsters
A Taurus 942 shoulder holster spreads the weight across both shoulders and your back. If you’re in a car or sitting for long hours, this setup can feel a lot better than anything around your waist. It’s not the first pick for deep concealment, but it’s comfortable and accessible when you need a belt-free option. Just make sure it fits close so it doesn’t swing or sag.

Summary
The Taurus 942 is built for easy carry, and your holster should make that even easier. A good Taurus 942 holster won’t shift, print, or wear you out by midday. It should stay put when you're moving, keep out of the way when you're seated, and feel like part of what you’re wearing. Whether you're slipping it into your waistband, strapping it across your chest, or clipping it outside your belt, the fit matters. It’s not just about hiding it, it’s about living with it. Find one that works for how you carry, and you’ll forget you’re even wearing it until you need it.

I purchased the outside belt holster for my Taurus 942m revolver. After following their instructions for break in the holster fits like a glove and is easy to draw from. I used the plastic bag method for 24 hours then wore it with the bag still installed for about 5 hours.
