Holsters are used for storing pistols. Holsters were invented in the 1830s and are used for carrying and protecting a gun by both military and civilian personnel. Although its shapes and sizes have since changed, what remains the same is its use. One of these types of holsters that was used worldwide and known for its comfort and concealment is the Ruger Vaquero Holster.
What is Ruger Vaquero Holster?
Ruger Vaquero Holster is a type of gun holster that was made by Bill Ruger Sr. in 1993 which was a new model Blackhawk. It is a cross-draw holster, worn on the left side and drawn by the right hand. There are mainly two variants of Vaquero which are the classic original vaquero made in 1993 and the new model Vaquero produced in 2005. The original one was made to sustain and safely fire higher pressure 45 colt ammunition.
If you plan to purchase a holster, consider its size and weight before making any decisions regarding the product you want to purchase. It is recommended to own at least one Ruger Vaquero holster if you own the considered caliber pistol.
