Taurus 85 Holster

I have a smith model 30-1 (J frame). Fits perfectly and works great with whatever I wear. Great price and quality

I have a S&W 640, and have tried a handful of holsters. Most end up being too short as the barrel is slightly longer than other J-Frames. For leather or canvas, it's not too big of a deal, but it really makes a difference with kydex. This holster fits the 640 perfectly. It is very adjustable for retention, and slightly for the cant. I agree with the other reviews stating this is primarily for 3 or 4 o'clock carry. It's not impossible for other position, but not ideal. I am truly impressed with the quality and fit, especially for the price. If anything happens to this one, I would buy it again. I highly recommend this holster.

Fits good what else can I say.

No screwdriver came with mine. Luckily, I had one in drawer. Fit as supplied was too tight to use with Taurus 856. The supplied Chicago adjusting screws were of good quality. I removed the screws and spacers completely and the 856 slides in n out very smoothly. Some may prefer to adjust the screws until they have more friction to the fit or even a snap-in fit. The plastic belt clip seems robust and is adjustable for for-aft cant using the two screws. Easy re-holstering without undoing the belt. The groove in the belt clip is too narrow to be used with 1.5" belt - needs another 1/4" (better too wide than too narrow, Mr designer). Rides very comfortably on me at about 4-30. Pros Robust, good features and materials. Cons No screwdriver provided with mine Belt clip needs an extra 1/4" on width of belt slot (most people wear 1.5" wide belts in my experience) Perhaps it should be supplied with 2 belt clips - 1.25" and 1.5". Most people have a screwdriver, so leave that out. Some advice to those who may get a tight one, even when the screws are removed. Place some packing material (wood, plastic, metal or folded aluminum foil) in the open gap to force it apart about 1/4" more. Heat the folded edge with a hairdryer until it gets hot to touch. Allow to cool, remove the packing material and you should find that you have a looser fit.

Bought for 905 taurus , fit is a bit tight. S+W 642 was best fit with positive click in. Ruger LCR was looser but no slop or rattle. All in all it is comfortable and works OK ,good quality and great price.

Does not fit tarus 856 at all completely wrong shape all together

Good retention and low profile, however it does not cover the hammer nor does it stop the cylinder from turning while holstered, so there is some potential of it getting snagged and discharging

Awesome holster. Just what they said it was. Holds my Charter arms 38 undercover like it was made for it. Hammer is blocked by small section of kydex and is great at it. For all the reviews that say it’s too tight????? Sell your gun and get yourself a whistle or something. It’s adjustable with a Phillips screwdriver like just about every kydex I’ve ever seen. You shouldn’t own a gun if you can’t figure that out. Buy this one if you’re looking for an affordable j frame holster with retention.
