Had a Bianchi "Blawck Widdow" model for my 2" S&W 64-5 That held my 4" S&W 15-3 just as well, albeit with a bit of exposed barrel. The Black widdow didn't cover the trigger guard which is an IDPA no-no. I had been so impressed with my previous Bianchi with how it held the weapon and the quality of the work I went to find another Bianchi. It's just as high quality. super comfortable, great draw, love the thumbstrap design cause I take it hiking a bit and it conceals pretty well, and it's IDPA legal to boot! The fact it's under 50 dollars is just icing on the cake.

It is an awesome holster. It holds my GP100 4" right were I want it and snugly. The thumb snap is easily realeased when you want it. Match that with OpticsPlanet, can't go wrong.

at first i thought it was too small - however once i forced my ruger sr9 in it - the leather eventually loosened up as to where it is now a snug fit . has a convenient thumb snap which is in my opinion the best retention a hoster can have

Overall a very good holster. High quality construction makes use for duty or daily private use easily accomplished. Is made in Mexico, so jobs in Mexico means less illegal immigration. It holds the weapon extremely close to the body with a high ride, a bulky grip will be difficult to conceal so your concealment results may vary. Definetly must be broken in and worn around the house before use in public because it was hard to impossible to close the snap when it came out of the box. I intended to use for crossdraw. While possible it's not ideal due to how high it holds it (unless you have a long torso and short arms maybe) works great for strongside carry though. With the three slots you can try it the way you want and work it best for your needs. I used it on a Ruger GP100 4 in bbl with hogue grip. The grip is difficult to conceal for me, but not impossible.
