Holster for a Taurus 431 2.5" RB

[joneb]

Hi folks, I looking for a hip carry holster maybe two, a inside the waist band and outside the waist band. The frame size is similar to a L frame smith, I think the 431, 415 and 617 are the frame size? I would like for the IWB to not collapse when the gun is out. The OWB holster I would prefer a paddle type with retention.
Thanks.

There aren't a lot of leather paddle holsters, but Kramer makes one and it is supposed to be one of the best. I don't see a Taurus 431 on their list, but I'm not familiar with Taurus's line-up to know if Taurus has other model numbers that are basically the same as the 431.

Edit to add: Oops, you said…

Kramer shows the 617 available.

Hello,

These holsters I'm suggesting are slated to fit a 415 so as long as the frame size is just about the same, you'll be good to go. I'm also assuming you are right handed. For the OWB hoslter, I would take a look at Galco's Speed Paddle holster.

For IWB carry, I would take a look at Galco's Inside the Pant Waistband Holster.

Thanks for the replies
The Kramer looks great but the price is a bit steep.
The Galco holsters seem like my best option for now.

My 3" Taurus 431 fits snuggly in all of my K frame holsters. I hope that info helps.
