Howdy All
Does anyone have the size specs on a Single Six .22mag. How much smaller is it than a Vaquero 45Lc?

How much smaller is the frame than a 45LC Vaquero?

I have used an old model-10 Smith and wesson to make a holster and it fit a 45LC Vaquero just fine. It wasn't form fitting, but otherwise it set in real good.

All i would have to compare it to is my 44 mag with 10 inch barrel,the only 45 i have are Uberti Dakotas.

The Single Six is basically a 3/4 size SAA Colt - make your SAA pattern just slightly smaller overall (1/4-3/8" dependent on leather thickness - I remove it from the center line) than a Colt SAA or Ruger NMV and you will be real close - I've built them the same size as my SAA's out of thicker (9/10 oz) and they fit almost perfectly -

FWIW - some customers have used SAA holsters and report that the Single Six (and Colt Frontier and the 3/4 frame size Uberti's) sit a little deeper in the holster and they like that....

WC, I have made holsters for my wifes Model P Jrs, which are the 3/4" size SAAs that Chuck mentioned. I used Will G.'s 51 Navy pattern with pretty good success.
I had to chop the length down to 3 1/2" though, so the longer barrel might need some adjustment to allow room for the plunger rod and the sight on the barrel of the Ruger.

Howdy All
Thank you all for the info.
TW came through for me and brought over his gun so I could make a pattern.

TW
