The BlackHawk GripBreak Leather Holster for SW MP 9mm/.40 cal has a patented locking mechanism that offers secure weapon retention in a premium Italian leather design. The BlackHawk GripBreak Smith&Wesson MP Holster lets you maintain a master grip and quick, smooth draw thanks to a simple thumb release lever. Leather manufacturers in Italy are well-known for producing extremely high-end products. Blackhawk uses premium vegetable-tanned Italian cowhide leather - the finest material on the market today. Each holster receives a natural finish from a plant-based "tannin" compound used for the tanning process. The leather is then drum dyed: placed in a huge barrel-shaped drum and tumbled with the dye for 24 to 48 hours. This forces the dye into the leather for long-lasting results. The holsters are closely stitched along the outline of the pistol. Not only does this result in a better fit and appearance, but it's one of the telling marks of a well-made leather holster. Blackhawk holsters are still hand-boned. Leather holsters were traditionally shaped to a particular pistol with a small animal bone. Modern metal or plastic tools have replaced bones, but the term - and the technique - is still used, giving the holster a sculpted outline. As a final touch, each holster is hand-polished use a finishing cream to seal in the dye and create a nice lustrous shine.
