Revolvers are slow to reload compared to autos, especially when talking about snubbies. Drawing a second loaded revolver is much faster than reloading, and experienced gunfighters such as those on the old NYPD Stakeout Units of the 1970s often carried a pair of revolvers. Hence the “New York Reload.”

Galco recently debuted a Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig for those cosplayers looking for leather to pull off a NYR.

With the Masterbilt Dual Defense Rig, Galco has resurrected three popular features for shoulder carry of revolvers: open front design, diagonal gun orientation, and two-gun carry.

The open front feature offers the smoothest draw, since no retention straps or other devices need to be overcome. Yet, the holsters retain the revolvers perfectly by the use of adjustable tension units.

The positioning of the holsters’ swivel keepers hearkens back to Galco’s original Jackass designs.

The butt-down/muzzle-up diagonal configuration is universally acknowledged as the best combination of draw speed and concealability.

I mean, it’s a $500 piece of leather, but Arizona-based Galco probably does leather better than anyone, as we found out on a factory tour a couple of years back.
