® 5BHL Thumbsnap Leather Belt Holster for Revolvers
The Bianchi 5BHL Thumbsnap is a belt holster for revolvers, handcrafted from premium full-grain leather and fully lined with suede. According to the manufacturer it suits field use and casual concealment. It is worn strong side in a hi-ride position, and hand-boning lets the gun ride close to the body.
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.
