Galco Thunderclap Holster

As the first offering in Galco’s new Masterbilt series of holsters, the Thunderclap is constructed of premium leather by the company’s most experienced holster makers.

The attractive, hand-molded design isn’t just for looks. During the build process, the Thunderclap, like other Masterbilt holsters will be, is dried around a solid form, ensuring a perfect fit straight from the factory. The full-grain leather lining improves both retention and also provides greater tactile feedback when drawing and re-holstering. The Thunderclap offers a neutral cant and is relieved where the holster mouth meets the trigger guard, ensuring carriers can obtain a full firing grip on their gun before drawing.

A metal-reinforced belt loop provides extra rigidity, and a second belt slot to the rear of the holster aids in concealment by pulling the butt of a holstered pistol closer to the body. The suggested retail price on the Galco Thunderclap holster is $249. For more information, visit galcogunleather.com.
