Custom Kydex Taurus Holsters

A G2c and a G3c both list a 3.2 inch barrel. They will not wear the same holster. Taurus redrew the slide underneath a number that never changed, and that is the single most expensive assumption made about this brand.

So on these 8 configurations the spec sheet is the wrong place to look. We press to the shape of the gun rather than the figure printed beside it — and on the G-series, compatibility only runs one way.

A sensibly priced pistol still deserves a shell pressed to its actual outline.

Fitment

Same Number, Different Shape

Taurus has revised this range faster than almost anyone, and the naming did not keep pace. Guns a generation apart share figures, guns with different figures share frames, and the compatibility between them is not symmetrical.

Find your exact marking below. If your slide says G2c, that is not a G3c, whatever the barrel length suggests.

G-Series Compacts — Where the Numbers Mislead

The two that cause the confusion. Matching barrel lengths on the page, different slide profiles in the hand, and no shared shell between them despite everything the catalogue implies.

G3 — The Full-Size

The duty-size member of the family, noticeably longer in both the slide and the frame. Its extra length is what creates the one-way relationship with the compacts below it.

GX Series — The New Micros

Taurus’s current run at deep concealment, and a range that grew sideways in a hurry. Four lines separated mostly by grip length, each pressed on its own buck.

  • GX2
  • GX4
  • GX4 Carry
  • GX4 XL

TX22 — Rimfire

The .22 that outsold expectations and now gets carried and competed with in numbers. A long, light frame that shares its outline with nothing else on this page.

  • TX22

Deep dive: the Taurus G3c holster page maps the whole G-series — which of these fit each other, in which direction, and why.

Nearly everything here was designed to be carried rather than admired, and most of it is compact enough to conceal without much argument.

Light & Optic Ready

Rails Where You Expect Them, Optics Where You Might Not

The G-series and the TX22 all carry an accessory rail under the dust cover, so a light is straightforward on most of this range. Size it to the gun: a compact body such as the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub suits a G3c or a GX4, while a full-size G3 or a TX22 will carry a TLR-1 without looking ridiculous.

The micros are the ones to check. Rail length on the GX range is short, so tell us the exact light and we will confirm it clears before anything is cut rather than after.

Optic-ready is more common here than people expect. Taurus put optic cuts across much of this line while the rest of the budget market was still catching up, and our shells for those guns are pressed with a sight channel that clears a shielded micro dot. Mention the optic when you order, and mention taller irons separately — they sit above the dot housing and need more room cut for them.

Why Neptune

A Value Pistol Is Not a Reason for a Vague Holster

Guns at this price point attract a particular kind of holster — one sold as fitting a whole list of pistols at once. That works by leaving room everywhere, and room everywhere is exactly what retention is not. Three things we do differently:

  • Every generation in the G-series gets its own buck, because a redrawn slide behind an unchanged barrel figure is precisely the case a shared shell cannot cover.
  • The GX micros are pressed individually rather than grouped by size, since grip length is the only thing separating several of them and it lands where the shell closes.
  • Where two of our lines genuinely do overlap, we say which direction the overlap runs instead of leaving you to find out on the belt.

FAQ

Taurus Holster Questions

No, and the barrel length is what misleads people here. Both pistols are listed at 3.2 inches, so the natural assumption is that they interchange, but Taurus reshaped the slide between the two generations and the frames differ as well. A shell pressed around a G2c does not close correctly on a G3c. We hold them as separate lines for that reason. Check the marking on your slide rather than the figure in the catalogue.
Usually yes, and this is the one direction the family does travel. The G3c is the shorter pistol, so it will sit inside a shell built for the full-size G3 — though it will sit with the muzzle unsupported and the retention set further forward than ideal, which is a compromise rather than a fit. The reverse never works: a full-size G3 is simply too long to enter a G3c shell. If you own both, order each its own.
Grip length, principally, and that is enough. The GX range grew by extending the frame downward to take more rounds while keeping the slide much the same, so the difference between these lines sits exactly where the shell meets the frame at the back. We press them separately. If your slide is not clearly marked, count the rounds in a flush magazine and tell us the number, which identifies the line quickly.
We do, as its own pattern. The TX22 is long and unusually light for its size, and its proportions match nothing else in the Taurus range, so it cannot borrow a shell from the G-series. Most owners run it outside the waistband, partly because of the length and partly because a lot of TX22s are being carried to a range rather than concealed. Tell us if yours wears an optic, which is common on this model.
Effectively yes, and our selector reflects that by listing them on the same line. The pistol sold as the PT111 G2 was renamed the G2c without a redesign, so a shell pressed for one holds the other. Where it stops being simple is the step up to the G3c, which is a genuinely different gun despite the naming suggesting a small increment. Order the G2C line if your slide says either PT111 or G2c.
On most of them, yes. The G-series and the TX22 carry an accessory rail, and a compact light such as a Streamlight TLR-7 Sub suits the compacts while a full-size G3 will take a TLR-1. The GX micros are where it needs checking, because the rail is short and not every light body clears the trigger guard properly. Name the exact light when you order and we will confirm the combination before we press anything.
Much of this range is, and it arrived earlier than the price point would suggest. Where a slide is cut for a micro red dot, our shell is pressed with a sight channel that clears a shielded optic housing. Say which optic you are running when you order. If you have fitted taller iron sights so you can co-witness through the window, mention that separately, because those stand above the optic and want the channel opened further.
Builds start at $50 for the Triton Series IWB, with the deeper-riding Proteus at $60 and the Gemini dual layer at $70. A weapon light adds $20 where the pistol has a rail. Allow 10 to 14 business days, because every shell is cut once your order arrives rather than pulled from stock. All eight Taurus lines are already tooled, so there is no mold-making delay on top of that.

Tell Us the Marking, Not the Barrel Length

On this brand the figure on the spec sheet is the least useful thing you can give us. Read what is stamped on the slide and we will press to that.
