I have a taurus 85 2" that is my ccw gun. I use the Galco Waistband Inside the Pants Holster. I believe the Galco part number is WB156. They are currently out of stock, but should be available in August.

If you just do a search for taurus 85 on Gunbroker, it will bring up options.

Hope it helps.

Cheers Larry
being new to pistols ,still trying to work out what is what as there was very little choice and availabity at the time i bought mine, hence the question as they stocked the pistol + ammo but nothing else
from what i gather mine is an 85 3" from what i read on the box it came in
so thanks for your advice as i now hav a direction to head in
cheers

Richard, also check with Blackhawk. I believe they may have some to fit as well.

Fobus makes a holster for the Taurus 85. I use one for a Beretta 92. My only complaint is the muzzle hang outs of the bottom.

One does not need model specific holster. Just look for Galco or Bianchi for S&W revolver of similar frame size and barrel length. I could not find quality holster for my Freedom Arms .454 but had holster for N-frame S&W 6" from piece I traded on the FA and with minor modification it's pretty much perfect fit. I found that H&K P7 Bianchi #19L also fits Soviet Makorov and Colt Pocket Nine even though all three pistols look very different.

Go with Galco. I've been pleased with all 6 of mine.

Do not get the Blackhawk Serpa for the smith and wesson j frame, it will NOT fit

The Uncle Mikes size 36 should be a good fit also.
