Fleagle Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 New kid on the block in here. Have a ruger vaquero 45 colt with 5 1/2 barrel. Planning on getting second one in a few months. Need a right hand holster along with a cross draw holster too. My waist size is 36 so what size belt holster do I need. Any one have something that will work you want to part with. Glad to have found you all. Nice folks in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your cowboy clothes on wrap a belt around yourself and mark which hole it buckles in. Lay it out flat and measure its total length to that hole. Add one inch for when you have your holsters on the belt. This is the distance you want to the center hole of a gun belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Not a hard and fast rule , different builds will need different sizes , but generally your waist size plus 4 inches will work out for your holster belt. That is measured from where the buckle attaches to the center hole on the billet end. Hope this helps. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 "A pant size has no bearing on the information we require to build your rig. For example, if a man's pant size is 34, the hip measurement can be 39-41 inches." Here's how to measure for a cowboy rig: https://www.mernickleholsters.com/c/how-to-measure-/ That would be the measurement to center hole on the billet, The actual belt will be longer total length.
