How to choose the best holster for your Taurus Public Defender

A holster for Taurus Public Defender needs to manage the revolver’s unique size and weight while still offering secure retention and everyday comfort. The Public Defender is often chosen for personal protection, so the holster should keep it stable on the belt, protect the cylinder and barrel, and allow a smooth, confident draw. With the right fit, this powerful revolver carries comfortably and stays ready when it matters most.

 

 

Best Taurus Public Defender 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 Public Defender. 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 Public Defender 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 Public Defender remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Taurus Public Defender Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Taurus Public Defender. 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 Public Defender holsters

IWB Holsters

If you want to keep it hidden under a shirt or jacket, an inside-the-waistband setup works well. A Taurus Public Defender IWB holster should sit tight against your body without pinching or printing. Look for adjustable retention and cant so you can fine-tune how it draws and rides. Something slim helps too, especially when you’re moving around a lot.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband is easier to access and more forgiving on comfort. A Taurus Public Defender OWB holster is great if you're open carrying or wearing a coat. Go for one that hugs close so it doesn’t flop around. Good belt loops and a strong shell make a difference, especially if you’re carrying long hours.

Shoulder Holsters

If you’re often sitting, in a car, at a desk, or on long drives, a Taurus Public Defender shoulder holster keeps things out of your waistband. Balance is key. You want wide straps that spread the weight and a rig that keeps the gun snug under your arm. It’s a solid choice for colder weather when layering up.

Left Hand Holsters

A Taurus Public Defender left hand holster is designed to give left-handed shooters the same secure fit and smooth draw as a right-hand setup. Because of the revolver’s wide cylinder and unique profile, the holster must be properly molded to keep it stable and comfortable on the belt. A well-made left-hand holster provides solid retention, full trigger coverage, and predictable access, making the Public Defender easy to carry and ready whenever it’s needed.

Summary

With proper molding and retention, the Public Defender can be carried discreetly while remaining accessible and reliable for everyday defense.

Lost one star for the snap/fasteners. Very difficult to open and/or close. Lost a second star because, the firearm retention straps are reversed, making it almost impossible to remove the firearm from the holster in a timely manner! Fortunately, my sidearm is a weapon of last defense and/or method of no surrender. Otherwise, I mostly rely upon a rifle, carbine or something with a large red/black button that doesn't require a holster. This holster was purchased to accommodate use while wearing body armor and/or chest rig. My original holster is a shoulder holster. Couldn't reach it while wearing a plate carrier with full kit. We're living in strange and dangerous times. I'd prefer to grow old and fat without having to train and be always vigilante, again!
