Bianchi 55L Lightnin Holster by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner, April 5, 2011

Great holster by Gary Ferguson, March 9, 2019
Bought this holster for a s&w 442. The Bianchi web site says this holster will not fit a 442. It fits just perfect. Workmanship and quality are great. Still breaking it in and I have no doubt it will last for years to come.

holster fit by Legacy Reviewer, January 16, 2013
It took a lot of neatsfoot oil and hard work over many days to stretch the strap so that it would accommodate a Taurus 850 CIA. This is a great holster that probably fits S&W 36 and others well, but not such a great fit for the 850. Pros: quality of...
