® 111 Cyclone Leather Belt Holster
The Bianchi 111 Cyclone is an open-top, hi-ride belt holster whose distinctive belt loop construction lets you wear it either strong side or cross draw. According to the manufacturer it is especially suited to hunters with long-barreled revolvers, but it also fits short-barreled revolvers and 1911-style autos. It is handcrafted from full-grain leather, lined with genuine suede and molded for a custom-like fit.
Bianchi goes back to John Bianchi, a police officer in Southern California who built his first leather holster in his garage in 1958 so that he could wear it on duty. According to the manufacturer, Bianchi stands for handcrafted workmanship and time-proven, long-lasting designs; the brand's innovations include the thumb snap, the Model 27 "Break Front" holster and the Model X15® shoulder holster. Today Bianchi is part of the Safariland Group.
