Masterbilt Thunderclap Belt Holster for Pistols
Masterbilt means GALCO’s finest leather in the hands of its most experienced craftsmen: after molding, each holster is finish-dried on a solid last and, according to GALCO, is ready to go with little or no break-in. The Thunderclap is the very first holster in the Masterbilt series: detailed hand molding for secure retention and a beautiful look, with smooth leather lining for tactile feedback on the draw and kindness to delicate finishes.
GALCO has been at home in Phoenix, Arizona since 1983; according to the manufacturer, all Galco products are designed and hand crafted there. The family business was founded in Chicago in 1969.
- Masterbilt construction
GALCO gives Masterbilt holsters their final drying on a solid last. The manufacturer states that little or no break-in is required as a result. The THUNDERCLAP belongs to this series and has a full-grain leather lining.
- Hand molding and leather lining
Detailed hand molding helps retain the firearm. GALCO states that the smooth leather lining adds tactile feedback during the draw while reducing wear on more delicate handgun finishes.
- Cant, opening and grip
GALCO describes the mild forward cant as providing a fast, wrist-locked draw stroke. The reinforced opening assists one-handed reholstering. Relief at the base of the trigger guard permits a full firing grip in the holster.
- Belt attachment and sight rail
A metal-reinforced tunnel-style belt loop provides rigidity during carry and the draw. The trailing belt slot assists concealment. A molded sight rail is intended to prevent snagging during the draw. The lined holster is made from premium steerhide and fits belts up to 1½ inches wide.
- Concealed or open carry
GALCO describes the THUNDERCLAP for both concealed and open carry.
- Carry method
Belt holster with mild forward cant; reinforced mouth and belt tunnel; belts up to 1½ inches.

Notes
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
- For leather care we recommend the GALCO Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
