Steyr M9 A2 MF Holster From Tagua (And it fits many other handguns too!)

[@MarkAndrewEdwards]

I'm also a leather holster fan, I like the flex and give and the friction they provide with nylon belts. I prefer OWB with a thumbreak for retention but that Tagua looks good.

[@Superzuki01]

I bought one off Amazon. It was specifically for a P320, The P320 would not go into it. I sent it back and got my money back. Looks like they have upped their quality control.

[@Iceaxehikes]

My favorite owb revolver holster is a Tagua. Holds a Ruger SP101, LCR, LCRx, S&W 317, and S&W 640. Fits them all perfectly and has snap retention. I did'nt even have to carve the belt loops wider to fit my belt the way a lot of other holsters require. They are a good product.

[@hrfunk]

I agree. As I mentioned below, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of these Holsters.

[@skipboyer1889]

I’ve not been asked to make a holster for this pistol. Must not be too popular yet. Maybe in the future. You’re videos generate business for holster makers. No doubt about that!

[@hrfunk]

I am surprised you haven’t. As I mentioned in the video, there is really only one source of holsters for that particular pistol. It has something of a “cult” following. Many who own, love them, but they can’t carry them without a holster.

Thanks for the information. I need to look into these holsters. Have a blessed day and keep shooting.

Great video, Howard; I’ll head to the Tauga website next, since I’ve always disliked my Kydex CZ 75B holsters - despite their functionality - and Tauga may likely have some good (and reasonably priced) options. Like every other serious hand-gunner, I have literally dozens of holsters; if Tagus has soled the ancient dilemma of having a large garbage bag loaded with holsters, by having one design factually work with many autoloaders, then they should receive the Nobel Prize. Warmest regards.

[@hrfunk]

Thanks Roy. If you get one, be sure to let me know what you think of it.

[@roykiefer7713]

@@hrfunk Unfortunately, Tagus does not list any CZ’s - no less the 75 series autoloaders - as designs they support.

[@hrfunk]

@@roykiefer7713 As a general rule, I’ve found that holsters fitting the 1911 typically also fit the CZ75 (as well as the Browning Hi Power). Considering the wide range of handguns the Tagua holsters in my video fit, you might want to try a 1911 version and see if it works with your CZ.

I have one that's made for my CZ 75 (which also fits about four or five of my other guns). I've carried it for about seven years and it barely shows any wear. These are very durable over a long period of time.

[@johnherr3579]

Morning HR. Good review. This is the first time I've seen these holsters reviewed. I picked up two of their non adjustable paddle holsters years ago. One for a Sig P226 and the other for my CZs. They are well made with thick leather that holds it shape. The paddles hold securely and are easy to put on and take off. They have held up well over time.

[@hrfunk]

They seem like really well made holsters to me too. When I first saw their prices on line, I didn’t have very high expectations for their quality. I was quite pleasantly surprised.

[@Hickok]

Taqua makes good holsters. I own several, and they have a reasonable price.

[@logicaredux5205]

I have one of that brand of holster. They are a good value for the money.

[@showtime2629]

I bought a cheap hybrid holster off Amazon for my M9A2. I was surprised how many guns it will fit. Will look at the Tagua.

[@woodrow1037]

Thanks for this review. I have been looking for a new holster to wear cross draw when I'm driving (road trips). I am definitely going to take a look at these.

[@sisleymichael]

H.R., I agree 100% on leather holsters. That is all I use. I found that Arizona Gun Leather Company made a holster for my CZ P-01 with a thumb break snap. (working on my ranch I am always climbing around on equipment, dealing with livestock, etc., so retention is a big MUST). I have tried the Kydex stuff but I am no fan. I also don't shove holsters down in my pants. Definitely cannot work like that. Maybe if I was fence rail thin? Maybe. Also, Arizona Gun Leather makes the belt loops big enough for a sturdy work belt to pass through well. Good video.

[@hrfunk]

Thanks Mike!

[@cliffhouser9138]

Thanks for this review! I looked @ their website and they make a holster that will fit my S & W 986 2.5. I love leather holsters and wood grips for my revolvers and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again H R!!!

Considering that the 320 is one of the pistols that holster is designed for, I wouldn’t expect there to be a problem.

[@ab39z]

I'm curious if you tried the CZ P-01 in the first holster off camera. I also love leather holsters and cross draw. As someone else has said, Tagua doesn't list any CZ products in their compatibility lists. But I know many leather holsters can handle multiple gun models, just as you demonstrated. Thanks for your videos!

[@hrfunk]

I tried it just now at the request of another viewer. It fits the first holster that I showed in the video, but the lock feature does not retain it. It does not fit the second holster in the video.

Nice review! Tagua makes some very good Holsters and I have three of them. Yes, finding a good Holster for the Steyr M and L series Pistols can be challenging. After I bought my Steyr L9A1, I found a custom fit Turkish made Paddle Holster for it, on ebay.

[@hrfunk]

Good! If I remember correctly, the last time I looked on the Steyr website, they listed a holster for the A1 pistols. Oddly, they had nothing for the A2’s.

Howard, what grips manufacturer was that on the stainless revolver? Those are nice!

I bought them during a tour of the S&W factory. At that time, they were made in-house under the brand name “Ace Grips.” The closest one to them nowadays are probably made by Altamont.

[@deadeye566]

HR, Like you, I like leather holsters. The problem that I have is that I'm kind of a dinosaur when it comes to the guns I own. I looked at the Tagua website and was extremely disappointed to find that they don't make holsters for most of my guns. For example, I have 3 Berettas; a model 92, a model 84, and a model 70. Tagua only makes once for the 92, and I already have holsters for that one. I also have an Astra Constable .380 ACP, which is very similar to a Walther PPK, so there may be one there. The rest of my guns are all older models of one kind or another, and Tagua seems to only make holsters for new or modern handguns. I also thought that you didn't care for Glocks. Is that one left over from when you were in Law Enforcement? Cheers, Zeke

[@hrfunk]

Thanks Zeke. That Glock 19 is my current issued duty handgun (and no, I don’t like it any better than any other Glock I’ve ever handled). Tagua does make holsters for the Walther PPK. Some of their other holsters might work with your vintage pistols. As you saw, many of the handguns that fit the holsters in the video were not listed on the package. It might be worth a call (or email) to Tagua. Ask if they have any model(s) to fit your pistols.

While they certainly look well made, they are way too bulky and thick for my liking. I have found the very best belt holsters, belts and magazine pouches on the market are Kramer Horse Hide Leather. They are custom made, light weight (Horse Hide is spectacular) thin and quite strong! The Horse Hide is NOT a "gimmick" and his goods stand up for decades and decades. I am NOT affiliated in any way with this firm, just recommending what I feel is the very best carry holsters and belts one can buy - anywhere at any price. Kramer's Leather is a little pricy, but take this from someone who has toted concealed for 45 years - they are worth every penny!!!
