Galco Masterbilt Master Agent Holster

Galco Gunleather recently added a new shoulder holster system to its premium Galco Masterbilt series. The Masterbilt Series represents Galco Gunleather’s superlative products made to the highest standards. These items are also made by Galco’s most senior and experienced leatherworkers and are manufactured so that the leather will not need a final break-in period, which makes these holsters ready to use and wear straight out of the box.

The new Masterbilt shoulder-holster system is called the Galco Master Agent and it is designed to hold a small-frame revolver. In addition, its straps take on an old-school vintage style with a single shoulder loop and a direct line to the belt, a style which was common before the development of Galco’s Miami Classic style of shoulder holster systems. The keepers that hold the Master Agent holster in place can be traced back to Galco’s original Jackass holster design which kept the gun with a butt down, muzzle up diagonal position, a style which was acknowledged back in the day to be one of the quickest ways to draw a revolver from a shoulder rig.

Galco Masterbilt Master Agent Holster Features:

  • Holster and harness built from premium steerhide and includes full-grain leather linings
  • Holster is hand molded by Galco’s most experienced leather craftsmen
  • Master Agent is designed for old-school diagonal muzzle up revolver orientation
  • Holster has open front with adjustable tension
  • Harness is made from supple comfortable leather and elasticized nylon parts
  • Includes an optional anchoring belt loop
  • Currently available in black for Charter Arms Undercover models or Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers

MSRP for the Galco Masterbilt Master Agent shoulder holster system starts at $280. As made-to-order items, Masterbilt Master Agent shoulder holster systems include a two to four week lead time prior to being sent out to customers.
