Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) Holsters
Inside-the-waistband carry keeps things tight and close. A Taurus G2C holster inside waistband works best if you want deep concealment without giving up access. If you carry concealed, keep the profile slim and the ride height low enough to vanish under a T-shirt. A Taurus G2C concealed holster should stay put while walking, sitting, or bending. It helps if the holster’s edges don’t dig in around the waistline.
The Slim-Tuk is a new minimalist slim fitting, ambidextrous IWB holster fashioned from Kydex sheet. One of the most unique features about this IWB holster is that it uses our tuck-able 360 C-Clip, which affords the wearer unlimited mounting options. The N87 inside the waistband, ambidextrous holster is made out of premium padded ballistic nylon. Featuring a 1 3/4" sturdy, powder coated black spring clip, which keeps this beautifully designed pistol holster securely anchored to your belt.

Shoulder Holsters
For cross-draw comfort or deep winter carry, a shoulder holster for Taurus G2c spreads the weight and keeps the gun out of your waistband altogether.

Appendix Holsters
Appendix carry puts your holster front and center. A Taurus G2C appendix holster should sit low and flat, especially if you move a lot during the day.
Pocket Holsters
A Taurus G2C pocket holster works best with roomy pockets and structured fabric. It should break up the gun’s outline and stay in the pocket on draw.

Chest Holsters
For hiking or open carry outdoors, a Taurus G2C chest holster keeps the weight centered and your belt clear.
Ankle Holsters
Used for deep concealment or backup, a Taurus G2C ankle holster should strap tight and stay put as you walk. Padding matters here.

The Apache is made for small, medium and large frame semi-auto pistols and small frame revolvers. All semi-auto models have a Velcro retention strap.
Belly Band Holsters
Soft, flexible, and versatile, a Taurus G2C belly band holster wraps around your midsection and adapts to movement.
Paddle Holsters
If quick on/off is key, a Taurus G2C paddle holster slides into place without threading through your belt. Style D94 Cazzuto™ Holster is made entirely of thermo-plastic material and is an exceptionally light and compact holster. Minimal friction between gun and holster results in a smooth draw. The paddle is adjustable for forward to rearward cant. Dual slots.
Drop Leg Holsters
Tactical or outdoor use calls for a Taurus G2C drop leg holster that secures below the belt line. Straps need to stay in place without cutting off circulation.
Left-Handed Holsters
Lefties need gear built right, not adapted. A Taurus G2C holster left handed should mirror the same comfort, retention, and accessibility as any right-hand design.
Duty Holsters
For professional carry, a Taurus G2C duty holster must meet retention standards and handle daily wear. A Taurus G2C Level 3 holster provides the highest degree of retention and safety, making it ideal for duty or open carry.
Car Holsters
A car holster for Taurus G2C gives you quick and secure access to your pistol while driving. These holsters can be mounted under the steering wheel, beside the seat, or on the center console, keeping your firearm stable and within reach.
Material Choices
Made from high-quality leather, these holsters deliver a glove-like fit and excellent durability. Designed for durability and speed, Kydex holsters retain their shape and secure your firearm with a distinct click. Affordable and low-maintenance, nylon holsters are perfect for everyday users seeking easy concealment.
Holsters for Taurus G2C with Light or Laser
A Taurus G2C holster with light is perfect for those who carry their compact pistol equipped with a weapon-mounted flashlight or laser. Among the most popular setups is the Taurus G2C Streamlight TLR-6 holster, precisely molded to fit the gun with the attached TLR-6 light and laser combo. This combination ensures secure retention, quick draw, and dependable performance even in low-light or defensive situations.
A Taurus G2C holster with laser should give just enough clearance for the laser unit without loosening the whole fit. Combo setups take up more space, so not every holster will work. A Taurus G2C laser light combo holster needs solid retention and a cut that clears the bulk without hanging up.
Light bearing holsters are quickly becoming a preferred choice among firearm enthusiasts for their functionality and innovative features. If you're an aficionado of cutting-edge firearm accessories, you've likely come across a light bearing holster. This special type of holster is designed to accommodate a handgun equipped with a tactical light or tactical laser, providing the perfect amalgamation of functionality and style.
At Craft Holsters, each holster is carefully designed to provide a secure fit for your firearm with a light. However, making one at home would involve precise measurements and skills in crafting materials. The best light bearing holsters are those that are crafted with precision and quality materials, offering a perfect fit for your firearm and ease of access.
If you get one of our holsters with light molded exactly for your gun and tactical light or laser, you most probably won’t have to bother with holster break-in.

There are many tactical lights on the market, we created a list of the most sought after pistol lights and we have custom made holsters ready for them.
