The Fobus TA85BH provides secure outside-the-waistband carry for Taurus 85 and 850 series revolvers with its proven passive retention system. This paddle holster delivers consistent draw performance while maintaining positive weapon security through precise molding and quality construction.
What Makes This Different
Fobus constructs this holster from reinforced polymer that maintains its shape under stress while weighing significantly less than leather alternatives. The passive retention system uses precise trigger guard molding to secure the firearm without requiring thumb breaks or retention straps. This design allows for faster draw times compared to active retention holsters while providing adequate security for civilian carry applications.
Key Features
- Passive retention system secures firearm through precise trigger guard fit
- Reinforced polymer construction weighs 3.2 ounces for comfortable all-day carry
- Paddle attachment system fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant angle
- Fits Taurus 85, 850, CIA, and UL85 revolvers with 2-inch barrels

The TA85BH performs reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 180°F without becoming brittle or losing retention. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar Fobus designs for backup weapon carry due to their consistent performance and minimal maintenance requirements. The smooth interior finish prevents holster wear on firearm finishes, while the textured exterior provides secure grip during reholstering.
