How To Choose The Best IWB Holster For Your Taurus Public Defender - 2"

When you're shopping for a new IWB holster for you.Taurus Public Defender - 2", knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a IWB 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 an IWB Holster?

IWB (Inside the Waistband) holsters are one of the most popular options for everyday concealed carry—and for good reason. Designed to be worn inside your waistband, they offer a great balance of concealment, comfort, and draw speed.

    Excellent Concealment

    IWB holsters keep your { close to your body, reducing printing and staying hidden under t-shirts, jackets, or button-ups.

    Comfort for Daily Wear

    With the right model, you can carry all day—standing, walking, or even sitting—without discomfort. Many holsters include sweat guards, soft lining, and flexible clips to improve fit.

    Safe and Secure

    These holsters are built to hold your firearm firmly in place, even during movement, while still allowing for a smooth, quick draw when needed.

    Ideal for Driving

    Unlike bulky carry methods, IWB holsters don’t interfere with seatbelts or press awkwardly into your side when seated for long periods.

    Whether you're a first-time carrier or an experienced EDC user, an IWB holster is a dependable and discreet way to carry your Taurus Public Defender - 2"

    How to Choose the Right IWB Holster for Your Body and Draw Style

    The right IWB holster should work with your body—not against it.

    Body Type

    Slim carriers may prefer low-profile, minimalist designs. For broader body types, wide or dual-clip holsters help spread out the weight and avoid hotspots—ideal for those looking for the best IWB holster for fat guys.

    Carry Position

    Appendix (AIWB) is fast and accessible, but may not be comfortable for everyone. Strong-side carry (3–5 o’clock) is often more ergonomic for longer wear.

    Handedness

    Most IWB holsters come in both left- and right-handed versions. Choose one that matches your draw hand, or go with an ambidextrous option if you like flexibility.

    Customization

    Features like adjustable cant and ride height let you tailor the fit for better concealment and faster access to your Taurus Public Defender - 2".
