Reviews & Ratings for Bianchi 100 Professional Holster — 170 reviews — Page 1

optics planet shipped the factory packaging inside a standard plastic shipping bag. when it arrived, i put my colt CCO (commander slide assembly on officer frame) in the plastic bag it was shipped in and shoved that into the holster and left it for three days. new quality leather is always stiff and doing this helps the holster mold around the pistol. the clip is sturdy and i am able to adjust the cant so the grip presses against my body for great comfort and concealment. when i first got the holster out of the package, it was so tight that it came out of my waistband with the pistol. after the pistol sat in the plastic shipping bag inside the holster for a few days, the holster loosened enough so it stayed inside the waistband when i drew and properly fit the pistol.

Quality holster & works for my Sig P365 & P238 (little deep but manageable). However, the fit guide is insane! Holster was #25936 (size 13) IWB which listed fit for Sig P238 (micro .380) AND P226R (full size w/rail). Fit also listed my HK P2000sk (sub-compact) for this model. Upon receiving, it’s stamped with “S&W M&P Shield” on the holster. The Sig P365 fit decent (even though it wasn’t listed) and the little P238 worked but went in a little deep with respect to grips. The HK P2000sk would only partially seat in the holster, leaving entire trigger guard exposed. My Sig P226R just laughed at this holster...which I figured would be the case. Why in the world would the full size Sig P226R be listed as a fit for this holster when it was obviously designed for the little M&P Shield? Bianchi and Optics Planet really need to re-evaluate the list of firearms shown to work with these holsters, or at the very least note which are exact fits and then note others as “possible”....but listing the P226R as a fit for this item is simply a disservice to the customer!

Bought the Bianchi 100 holster for my Ruger ec9s. Size chart told me size 21. When I received it the trigger guard was not covered. Questioned the gun shop owner who checked with salesman. Was told size 21 was correct and even though the guard was not fully covered it was safe because the trigger was covered. This did not match their pictures showing a completely covered trigger guard. I do not like to carry in this holster with one in the chamber.

This is a nice well made holster. I bought the model for a 5 inch 1911 BUT carry a 4 inch SP101 in it.
It works great. A revolver fits the nooks and crannies of my anotomy much better than other hadguns. Plus I like the SP so why not carry it? The holster sits snugly, does not move around, is comfortable, and will last forever. Buy one for yourself.

Holster is of good quality. Not great. Bianchi products are generally what you expect. Workmanship is fine and the leather is good. The metal clip is strong enough to hold on and the fit to the firearm is acceptable.

New to concealed carry, I needed a holster that would allow me to experiment with different carry positions and alternatives. The model 100 does exactly that. It allows me to position my Bersa Thunder .380 CC from 11-6 and everything in-between. The belt clip is strong enough that it holds even when I don't wear a belt! The gun comes out cleanly and easily. I have even used it as a pocket holster. The retention is also about what can be expected from a leather holster.

The only thing I'd change is that a reinforcement to ensure easier re-holstering would make a great product even better. Still, this is a purchase I have not regretted for an instant.

The trigger guard sticks completely out of the holster. DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY, DO NOT BUY.

I didn't think I would find a holster for an old HK4, but found this one. It fits and doesn't come out when drawing. It's typical Bianchi quality, which is great. I would recommend this for someone looking for a holster that will fit some of the older usable guns.

This holster is a good economical way to carry the S&W 642 IWB. The leather conforms to the gun very well, providing enough retention to secure the weapon. You do have to "twist" the gun a little to re-holster, but realistically, how many times do you draw your weapon while actively carrying? Good leather, comfortable, and good retention. Good price too.

I use this holster for appendix carry of a Walther PPK/S and a Bersa Thunder. It works fine. It is noticeable but not uncomfortable when sitting and is reasonable comfortable during long walks, with no skin chafing noted to date. It retains either pistol well. The high back prevents pistol-to-skin contact, preventing sweat and exfoliated skin from getting into the pistol. Both pistols have a grip laser which catches on the edge of the holster, but the holster seems to be forming nicely, so I may not have to trim the leather.
