I recently got a like new Galco Jackass #154 harness system. It's an early holster and repeated attempts with Galco have come up empty on what model gun it fits. The magazine carrier is model A1403.

Glaco said they changed part numbers and lost all the early ones. Hard to believe but after three days of searching they gave up.

I like vintage stuff, and if I have to buy the correct vintage handgun, I will. Please help.

thanks,

Dan

Well, I'm no expert, but the abbreviations on the back stand for "Large Frame Auto." In my experience, leather holster makers will often make a holster for a sort of specific handgun, like a Smith 5900 series, or a 1911 style, and then will acknowledge that any number of other handguns fit perfectly in the holster. Revolver holsters are often made for small, medium, or large frame revolvers, and not specific firearms. There's no way that a holster maker could be profitable manufacturing holsters for each specific handgun on a large scale basis. Not enough demand, and too many cottage industry shops to compete with.

Galco and I are already in agreement that Large Frame Auto is pretty vague. The only large frame auto's I have are 1911's and HI-Powers, and they both do not fit it correctly.

There were a lot fewer choices of auto models used back in the early 80's than compared to today. Unfortunately, I only collect S&W revolvers and do not have any of their auto's to try.

If that's a Galco logo on the back of the holster, there's no telling what it might be. I bought two Jack *** rigs when it was still the Great Jack *** Leather Company in Glenview, IL, in 1978. One was for a K-frame revolver, which I still have, and the other was for a 1911, which I unfortunately don't have. The 1911 holster was also made to fit the Browning Hi-Power, so the Lrg Fr Auto was not a perfect fit, but close enough.
When the company changed its name to the Great American Leather Company (GALCO) and moved the factory to Chicago, the quality went downhill and there's no telling what that holster might have been made to fit. It wasn't until they moved to Phoenix that it improved.

Look at the molding: looks like a S&W auto, typical of several models.

However, I have a Galco conventional belt holster marked for large autos and it fits very well both a CZ-75B and a Beretta M-92FS.
