Description

Galco’s Masterbiltholster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Perfectly mated to everyday carry guns or elegant special-occasion pistols, the Thunderclap™ offers a unique set of features and best-quality construction methods. The Thunderclap is the very first holster in Galco’s Masterbilt™ series of best-quality, premier-grade holsters.


The Thunderclap features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on more-delicate handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The Thunderclap’s mild forward cant gives it a fast, wrist-locked draw stroke, while the reinforced opening provides easy, one-handed return to the holster. Relieved at the base of the trigger guard, it allows a full firing grip in the holster. The metal-reinforced tunnel-style belt loop provides excellent rigidity during carry and on the draw, and the trailing belt slot aids with concealment – even with large defensive handguns. A molded sight rail prevents snags on the draw.

Equally at home concealed with an EDC pistol or worn openly with a barbeque gun, the Thunderclap is sure to impress friends – or help defeat enemies!

The Thunderclap fits belts up to 1 1/2” wide and is available in black or tan.

Best Holster
This by far is the best leather holster that I have bought. All the other leather holsters did not work, as soon as I tightened my belt the mouth would close shut and could not reholser the gun or the cant was to much for me. I took a chance with the Thunderclap and it turned out to be an excellent holster I'm very happy with this holster and will buy again, the mild cant works great and the mouth stays open, I can draw and reholser with no problem. I'm carrying a lightweight commander 1911 and it conceals great even with a short sleeve shirt.

Masterbilt Thunderclap-1911
I recently received the Masterbilt Thunderclap for my Wilson Combat 1911 CQB and am thoroughly pleased. Last Spring I ordered a Masterbilt Revenger for my Colt Python and due to the quality and appearance of this holster I ordered the Thunderclap for my 1911. The fit and the retention are great and the lining gives a very smooth draw. The quality of the leather and the pride in craftmanship are readily apparent. The Galco folks produce outstanding leather products!
