Taurus 85B2UL Holster - Recommendations ?

[keystoneman 85]

Hey guys,

Looking for a recommendation on some holsters for a Taurus 85B2UL revolver. All pistols I have owned before were Semis. The only holsters I am accustom to are the Uncle Mikes pocket holster for smaller guns like the KelTec P3AT & leather holsters carried on the hip/belt for larger guns such as the Taurus PT1911.

What sort of holsters should I be looking at for this new toy?

p.s. - getting the gun tonight.

Thanks

The holster depends on how you want to carry. If your gun is aluminum alloy or titanium, pocket carry works quite well.
I suggest you check out Mikas holsters. He makes a nice, low cost holster that's quite durable and stays in the pocket when the gun is drawn. Link to Mika's website:

I use a Mika's pocket holster to carry my 85 Multi-Alloy or 851 Ultra-Light.

If you want to IWB or OWB (which you may, if this is a steel framed gun), I suggest Don Hume. I used to have a steel framed 85 and that's what I used. As this holster is at least 10 years old, I can't recall the model number.
