Holster: Bianchi Model 6 “Waistband” Leather Holster

Description

Item Overview

• Manufacturer: Bianchi Gunleather. You can see the distinct “Bianchi” logo and “Made in USA” stamp on the suede-side (back) of the holster in image 13b.

• Model: This appears to be a variation of the Bianchi Model 6 “Waistband” Holster or a similar vintage clip-on model (the stamp B26 is visible, which often refers to the specific sizing/fit).

• Material: Heavy-duty black top-grain leather with a smooth finish on the exterior and a rough-out (suede) interior to help grip the firearm and provide comfort against the body.

Key Features

• Mounting: It features a spring-steel belt clip (attached with a silver-tone rivet). This allows the holster to be clipped directly onto a belt or the waistband of trousers.

• Retention: This is a Level I (Passive) retention holster. It relies on the friction of the leather and the pressure of the waistband to keep the firearm secure. It does not have a thumb break or finger release.

• Design: It has a minimalist, low-profile design intended for concealed carry. The open-top design allows for a quick draw.

• Fit: Looking at the ruler, the holster body is roughly 4 to 4.5 inches long. This size is typically designed for small-frame revolvers (like a Snub-nose J-Frame) or sub-compact semi-autos.
