Recycled Vaquero Holster
Been looking for a holster for my new Ruger Vaguero Montado .45Colt with a 3.75 inch barrel and and 3.75 inch holsters are not that popular and I remembered I had picked up a old holster years ago at a gun show(think it was 5 bucks) to hang on the wall for decoration and never did, so I dug it out and went to work on it and ended up with this................Fits like a glove

Re: Recycled Vaquero Holster
Attach that to a belt so that it rides where the top of the handle is about even with the bottom of your regular belt, or even a little higher, and you will have a holster and gun combo that would work well on horseback. That is a nice looking holster. I have a couple of different types of holsters, even a gunfighter style one, and find that the lower they hang, the more they get in your way when you are doing anything other than standing around. Little Joe wore a useless holster rig for anything but gunfights in the street at high noon, but John Wayne usually had one that was useful for most purposes.

Re: Recycled Vaquero Holster
Those Mexican Loop holsters are very traditional and a good working rig.
The Mantado is a SWEET little gun. I have a pair of them.
Good job!!!

That has the Simco saddle flower stamp on it. Might be a simco holster. Bona Allen has 6 petals and Simco has 8 petals.

Nicely done and a good re-purposing.
If I found holsters like that at a gun show, I would have left with a bag of them.
