Fit is straightforward: it's chambered for the Ruger .45 Vaquero with a 4 5/8" barrel and accommodates belts up to 3" wide. The high-ride positioning keeps your draw smooth and natural, and the strongside right-hand configuration works for shooters who carry on their dominant side. Full-grain leather develops character over time, getting better with use and care.

If you're building a single-action rig on a working cowboy budget, or you just prefer the look and feel of vintage-inspired leather, this Galco holster delivers authentic styling and solid construction.
