Very beautiful, well made, solid holster. I am extremely pleased with this purchase, and am sure I will be ordering Bianchi products from Optics Planet again in the future! My order was correct and shipping was very quick, especially when considering the many delays caused by the COVID pandemic.

I bought 2 holters, one for a Glock 22 and the 2nd for my CZ 75B SA. The one for the Glock fit real nice and locks each time. This one I'll keep. The 2nd doesn't lock up my CZ. I even reaffirmed that I ordered and received the correct holsters and I didn't have them swapped. I have tried enough times that it is now time to send it back. I'm not happy as I do like the style, quality and pistol fit. I won't compromise on it not locking up.
Would recommend: Yes

Replaced my daily carry holster with this one. Very innovative locking mechanism and high quality gun leather. Keeps my officer size 1911 close, but comfortable, to my body. Fit is higher up on belt line so as not to protrude bottom of your shirt. Very satisfied.

I bought this holster for my Sig M11A1, 9mm double stack compact pistol. The gun fit a little tight at first. I had a small bottle of "leather holster lube" from another company and put a couple drops on my fingers and rubbed it on the inside of the holster. After 10 minutes or so for drying, I tried the gun and it went in just a little easier. I'm sure after use the holster would loosen up a little. But I'd rather have it tight at first, then loosen up with use. This is a retention holster with a small tab sticking down under the trigger guard on a holstered pistol. You reach down with your trigger finger extended, and it naturally contacts the release lever. Then as the holster unlocks and the gun is withdrawn, your finger is positioned to go directly into the trigger guard and on the trigger. It's a great holster and I am very happy with it.
Pros:
- Tight fit
- retention device
Best Used for:
- concealed carry
- every day wear
Would recommend: Yes

As a retired law enforcement officer with 32 years experience, I believe the Bianchi 82 is the most secure off duty holster on the market. It offers high ride concealment and fast easy access. This is a top quality product.
Pros:
- Security
- Easy Access
- Concealabiltiy and retention
Would recommend: Yes

It's the best covered holster i ever used! I have it now for the hk p7 and the glock 19 and i like it very much, looks classical with the leather and is very funktional with the secure release. Would buy it for all my handguns!

Product arrived early and was much better than expected.
Gun fit very well and holster has heavy leather and double stitching, so has a good feel.
I had to practice proper draw technique, but the ergonomics of the retention release is good.
Price was EXCELLENT as I purchased on a holiday special.
I have other Bianchi holsters and will buy more.
Pros:
- Quality naterials and design
Would recommend: Yes

I love this holster. It fits the Kimber prefectly and holds it firmly. The lock is smartly located to release the pistol almost automatically. It is so much more secure than a paddle holster, and yet, just as easily un-holstered.

Love this holster but only wish they would make the identical thing in a cross draw. Please let me know if you do or have something similar I haven't found yet. I need the security of the retention but do a lot of activities that would be more convenient being carried on the opposite side. Thanks in advance.

Great holster for CCW of a Glock, the only OWB holster I've found that I trust to keep my Glock 33 secure. Easy to draw well made, too bad it is not made in US but made in MEXICO. Come on Bianchi, I wonder how many concealed carry citizens are buying Bianchi holsters in Mexico.
