Crossdraw Leather Holster for Ruger Single Action Revolvers Blackhawk Vaquero Long Barrel

Crossdraw Leather Holster for Ruger Single Action Revolvers

Tested fit for Ruger Blackhawk and Ruger Vaquero long-barrel revolvers. This crossdraw leather holster is built for riders, drivers, and working hands who spend real time seated and want a smoother, more natural draw than behind-the-hip carry.

The crossdraw position angles the revolver forward across the body, helping a long barrel ride balanced and comfortable instead of digging into your side or tipping outward.

Why You’ll Like It

• True crossdraw design (built for cross-body draw, not a converted strong-side holster)
• More comfortable access while seated, riding, or driving
• Open-bottom build supports longer barrel lengths
• Retention formed at the frame and trigger-guard area for a secure carry feel
• Built for real field use, ranch use, and range days

Build a Stable Carry Setup

A long-barrel Ruger rides best when the belt stays firm and doesn’t roll under weight. Start with a supportive base from our Leather Belts collection, then explore more carry options in Leather Holsters. For field reloads and full rig setups, add a belt-mounted Leather Ammo Carriers piece or a looped Cartridge Belts rig.
