Makes your large revolvers feel smaller and lighter if you carry them for long periods of time or when stitting and/or driving or riding. You'll wear it in the crossdraw position most of the time I'm betting. A good quality, well made, "worth the money" holster. Protects the gun well too. What's not to like.

The Bianchi 111 Cyclone Holster works flawlessly in both a strongside and a cross draw application. It is very well made and well worth the price.

I bought this holster for my brother after he admired mine. We have the same gun, (Ruger GP 100 .357 6"bbl) and I usually wear it in crossdraw as a backup gun when hunting bear and deer. Both Tom and I have an eye for quality and this is the best working and looking leather holster available at any price. The snap releases with just the right amount of thumb pressure allowing an easy and smoothe one-handed draw. I'd buy it again at twice the price. JD

I bought this holster for my father-in-law for his birthday. I was for his S&W 686 so he could carry it with him as he was deer hunting in NC. He told me he wanted a new holster because the old nylon cheap one he had didn't sit like he wanted it to. So knowing I had several handguns and holsters for all of them he told me he trusted me to pick one out. I wanted something that would cover as much of the gun as possible, especially the trigger, but not be restrictive if he needed it quickly. The Bianchi 111 Cyclone was a perfect fit for this. It fit the gun very well. Snug but not too tight. The thumb break keeps the gun secure without being restrictive like I wanted. It is very well made and has a nice finish, like all the other Bianchi's I have seen. I think he was very happy with my choice.
