Considerations & Trade-offs
- Open-top design means the handgun is not enclosed, so it offers less coverage than a fully closed holster.
- Fit is limited to S&W Governor and Taurus Judge / Public Defender (Polymer), so compatibility is narrow.
- The leather is intended to mold to the handgun over time, which may mean the fit changes as it breaks in.
- This is a belt holster, so it is designed for carry on a belt rather than alternate carry setups.
