How To Choose The Best Small Of Back Holster For Your Taurus Judge - 3"
When you're shopping for a new Small Of Back holster for you.Taurus Judge - 3", knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a Small Of Back holster, you're already on the right path. Below, we’ll walk you through why this carry style might be the ideal fit, how to find the best model for your body type and setup, and what materials and add-ons to consider.
Why Choose a Small of Back Holster?
Small of back holsters, often called SOB holsters, are designed for carrying your firearm in the center of your lower back. This carry style offers deep concealment and comfort for standing or walking, making it a discreet option for everyday carry.
Excellent concealment
Positioned along your spine, SOB holsters keep your Taurus Judge - 3" hidden under most shirts and jackets with minimal printing, making them ideal for users prioritising discretion.
Comfortable while standing or walking
Many carriers find SOB holsters comfortable while standing or moving, as the firearm rests naturally along the curve of the lower back without pressing into the hip or thigh.
Natural draw for some users
For those who prefer reaching behind the back, SOB holsters offer an intuitive draw angle, though it requires specific training to execute safely under stress.
Keeps firearm out of the way
This carry style keeps your Taurus Judge - 3" clear of your front and side, preventing interference with daily tasks or bending motions.
Best for compact firearms
Due to their positioning and draw mechanics, SOB holsters work best with compact or subcompact firearms to reduce discomfort and printing.
Drawbacks to consider
While SOB carry offers concealment, it can be uncomfortable when sitting, driving, or leaning back against chairs. Additionally, falling backward with a firearm positioned along the spine can pose injury risks.
Whether you’re looking for a discreet carry method for standing work environments or prefer behind-the-back access, an SOB holster keeps your Taurus Judge - 3" hidden and accessible.
How to Choose the Right Taurus Judge - 3" Small of Back Holster for Your Body and Lifestyle
Body type and fit
Choose an SOB holster that contours comfortably to your lower back. Slim users may prefer minimalist designs to reduce printing, while broader builds can benefit from wider platforms for stability.
Gun size compatibility
SOB holsters are best suited for compact or subcompact firearms. Full-size pistols may cause discomfort when sitting and are harder to conceal in this position.
Carry position
Most SOB holsters are worn directly over the spine at the 6 o’clock position, with some models offering slight cant adjustments for easier draw angles.
Handedness
Select a holster designed for your dominant hand. Right-handed users typically reach behind their right hip or center back for a palm-out draw, while left-handed users mirror this setup.
Retention and safety
Ensure your holster has strong retention and fully covers the trigger guard for safety during carry and draw. SOB draws require practice to avoid flagging your body during presentation.
Comfort features
Look for holsters with padded backing, smooth edges, and lightweight construction to maximise comfort, especially if worn for extended periods.
