Holsters for Taurus 942, 3 Inch
How to choose the best holster for your Taurus 942
Start by thinking about how you carry day to day. The Taurus 942 is a lightweight revolver, which makes it ideal for deep concealment or backup roles. So the right holster needs to feel natural, stay put, and give you quick access. A loose or generic holster can ride up or shift, which gets annoying fast and might even be unsafe. Material plays a role too. Leather molds over time and gets more comfortable. Kydex locks your gun in place and keeps its shape no matter what. Some folks go hybrid, rigid on the outside and soft against the body. Think about whether you're sitting a lot, walking long hours, or layering clothes. All that changes what feels right. And make sure the holster is actually built for the Taurus 942. This isn’t a full-size pistol. It’s compact, so a sloppy fit can make the whole rig feel off.
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 holster rides inside your waistband, which keeps the gun tucked away and close. Since the Taurus 942 is small and light, it disappears under a t-shirt. Go for one with adjustable ride height or cant, so you can fine-tune the draw angle until it feels just right. Some IWB rigs use soft loops, others use clips. Clips are faster on and off, but loops hug tighter.
OWB Holsters
OWB holsters for Taurus 942 are a bit more forgiving when it comes to comfort. They ride outside your waistband, usually on a belt. That means no pressure inside your pants, which is great for long drives or winter layers. You can still conceal one under a hoodie or jacket. Just look for a Taurus 942 OWB holster with solid retention, so it stays snug against your side and doesn’t bounce around.
Shoulder Holsters
A Taurus 942 shoulder holster spreads the weight across your upper body, which can be a relief if waistband carry starts to feel cramped. It’s a smart setup for folks who drive a lot or need quick access while sitting. Look for models with adjustable straps so the gun sits at the right height, not too low or digging into your ribs.

Pay attention to materials, retention, and comfort. Think about how it feels after a full day, whether it shifts during movement, or if it sits right when you're in and out of a car. Your holster should work with your routine, not fight against it. A good holster for Taurus 942 is one you don't have to think about once it's on.

Very well made holster! Searching for a holster for the Taurus 942 was slim! I have used this company before and was very impressed with the holster! The leather is heavy duty and stitched very well! This firearm fits like a glove! Did not take too long to arrive either! Gave me an estimated date of June and received it a month early! Best holsters I own! They are made for your firearm and not a multi-fit holster like most! Highly recommend this company!
