The Ruger Vaquero is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. The Ruger Vaquero holsters were designed with input from Hollywood gunsmith William Batterman. There is some dispute about how the name came about, but most believe it is an homage to Bill Ruger’s favorite horse.
A good place to find these holsters would be websites that sell gun holsters and belts. Some sites to check out are Amazon or eBay for the holster itself and then places like Gun Gear USA for the belt for the holster. Some aspects of the holster that I think make it a good holster are:
It doesn’t hold a metal clip, just a leather belt clip. It will help prevent damage to the gun from being dislodged from the holster. The leather is dyed and treated so it will not rust or stain and would last many years.
It has a full-length securing strap to keep the gun in place when drawing the gun out of the holster to ensure that the gun won’t fall while drawing it out. A metal clip would not have this extra security feature and could potentially bend with repeated use.
There is a western style spur on the bottom of the holster that allows for easy placement on a belt, which also makes it easier to draw the weapon out. This is another thing that would not be found on other metal holsters.
There is an open-top allowing easy access to the weapon as opposed to a holster with a flap over it. This kind of holster usually costs more because of its extra security feature, but it is well worth the price in my opinion because you never have to worry about taking it off before drawing your weapon and messing with the velcro or buckle, etc. It also has an open bottom so you don’t have to keep taking your belt off so you can put your belt back through.
Need for Ruger vaquero holsters
Holsters are used to hold or contain a firearm or other weapon. The word comes from the Old English word hÅlstere meaning “a person who hides”. Holsters are generally designed for two main purposes, either to provide safety (keep the gun in one spot) or quick-draw access (pulling the firearm from its holster). Some holsters can do both, but they are more complicated and require more time to put on and take off.
The need for Ruger vaquero holsters is when you have a weapon that is the best fit with a holster, which helps protect your weapon from breaking and damage. It also helps you keep your weapon safe. In most cases, a holster is made of leather and it can conceal your handgun, which includes a pistol or revolver. There are some cases where a person would wear their holster on their leg or their belt.
There are many types of holsters depending on the purpose it serves and what it’s made from. Although most Ruger vaquero holsters are made of leather, there are still those who prefer the more modern materials that are used for making the holster like plastic and nylon.
Choosing a holster type that is best fit for you depends on how you want to use your weapon and what you want to use it for.
