How to choose the best holster for your Taurus Judge Magnum

A Taurus Judge Magnum 3 inch barrel holster should manage this powerful revolver with secure retention and practical comfort.

With the right fit, the revolver carries comfortably and stays ready whenever you need it.

Carry Options for Taurus Judge Magnum holsters

Concealed Carry

IWB Holsters

If you're committed to inside-the-waistband carry, make sure the holster spreads out the gun’s bulk. A good Taurus Judge Magnum IWB holster will ride low enough to avoid digging into your ribs and offer strong retention so the grip doesn’t shift around. Look for reinforced clips or loops that don’t pop off the belt when you draw.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband is a way more comfortable option for the Judge Magnum. A solid Taurus Judge Magnum OWB holster will distribute the weight so it doesn’t tug on one side of your belt. Whether you're walking or sitting, it should stay close to the body to limit printing. Look for options with adjustable cant so you can angle the draw to suit your reach.

Shoulder Holsters

A shoulder rig makes sense for big-frame revolvers like this. A well-fitted Taurus Judge Magnum shoulder holster balances the weight across your back and chest. You can keep the gun out of the way when driving or moving around, and it’s easier to conceal under a jacket or coat. Make sure the harness doesn’t pinch or shift when you walk.

Chest Holsters

If you're hiking, hunting, or just out in the woods, a Taurus Judge Magnum chest holster is one of the most secure ways to carry. It keeps the gun high, centered, and clear of pack straps or hip gear. That’s key when you’re climbing or moving fast. The right chest rig holds tight without bouncing, and makes it easy to draw even with gloves or layers on. Bonus: you won’t need to dig under your jacket to get to it.

David C.

My holster didn't fit the Taurus Judge Magnum, the retention strap is too short. I worked it until my hands were sore and I watched the break in video. The snap buckled because I tried to force it to close. I have an email into support. I will give it 5 stars if they make it right. The holster is beautiful and it carries the gun perfectly. They need to make the holster 3 to 5% larger.

I am unable to get holster to fit around my leg. I am not a big person but the holster does not go down from belt far enough and straps are not long enough to go around my thigh. Is there a video or picture instructions to show how to assemble the holster and adjust it? Thanks, Gary

Excellent craftsmanship, leather is sturdy and finished well. Creating the holster took a little longer than I expected but it is worth the wait. With expedited shipping was here in 3 days once the holster was complete.
