Carry Options for Taurus Judge holsters
Concealed Carry
Concealed carry with a Taurus Judge takes some planning. It's not the slimmest revolver, but with the right holster, you can still pull it off. A Taurus Judge concealed carry holster usually means something strong and close to the body. That might be inside the waistband or tucked under a jacket with a shoulder rig. Look for minimal bulk, soft lining, and good trigger coverage. A Taurus Judge concealed holster that hugs the gun tight helps avoid printing and keeps things comfortable.
IWB Holsters
Inside-the-waistband holsters can work for the Taurus Judge, but you’ll want one with strong belt clips and solid retention. A Taurus Judge IWB holster rides deeper, so it stays hidden better under a shirt or hoodie. Choose one with adjustable cant so you can shift it slightly forward or back to find that natural draw spot.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband holsters are more common with the Judge. It’s a big gun, and an OWB setup gives it room to breathe. A good Taurus Judge OWB holster spreads the weight across your belt so it doesn’t drag down one side. Paddle or belt loop styles both work, depending on how tight you want the ride.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder rigs are a smart way to carry the Judge without loading up your waistline. A shoulder holster for Taurus Judge evens out the weight and keeps it accessible under a jacket. They’re great for driving or sitting long hours since there's nothing digging into your waist.
Chest Holsters
A Taurus Judge chest holster gives you quick access when hiking, hunting, or moving through rough terrain. This kind of rig keeps the gun front and center without weighing down your hips. If you’re out in the woods or working land, a chest holster for Taurus Judge balances comfort with reach. Look for padded straps and a snug, secure fit if you're carrying for hours.
Cross Draw Holsters
Cross draw carry puts the Judge in a natural position for seated access or when wearing a layered setup. A Taurus Judge cross draw holster rides on your weak side, angled forward so you can pull across your body. It’s popular with folks who spend hours in a vehicle or tractor. It's just easier to reach when you're buckled in or bundled up.
Left Hand Holsters
If you're a lefty, you need gear that’s actually made for you. A Taurus Judge holster left hand keeps everything in the right spot, with no awkward angles or flipped-around draws. Make sure it mirrors the right-hand setup with proper angle, trigger guard coverage, and balance on your belt or shoulder.

Excellent quality!
John
I am very satisfied with the craftsmanship and perfect fit. I know this is a lot to carry, but when I do it is very comfortable.

First, always pay for shipping. I do every time and my holster was in Arizona in less then a week. Now for the holster itself. This is my 3rd holster from craft holsters, the quality is 100%, as with the other 2 holsters. Break in is easy, wet the inside with denatured alcohol, put your gun in a plastic bag force it in all the way and leave it sit over night. Now for the belt loop. Wet the inside of that the same way you do the holster, I use 9 pop sickie sticks for the belt loop. Make sure the retention strap is snapped into place. In the morning pull the gun out of the holster, remove the pop sickie sticks and slid your belt in the loop, take the gun out of the plastic bag and put it in the holster. Now it's broken in and you have a quality holster the should last a lifetime.
