FAQ

Will this fit the New Vaquero .357?
No. This listing is built for the larger Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt frame, not the mid-frame New Vaquero .357.

Does the open-bottom design help with longer barrels?
Yes. Open-bottom holsters allow longer barrels to clear without binding, which helps comfort and draw consistency on long-barrel setups.

What belt works best with this holster?
Use a real leather gun belt with enough stiffness to support the holster and keep it from shifting. A soft fashion belt will sag and move.

How will the fit feel when it’s new?
Leather holsters typically start snug and break in naturally with normal use. The goal is a secure ride with a smooth, repeatable draw.
