Reviews & Ratings for Bianchi Model 57 Remedy Belt Slide Holster — 21 reviews — Page 1

holster received was not the one ordered. quality of item is good and will work with my pistol. delivery was later than tracking said, don't know what the problem was. was in good condition when it arrived.

When received this holster was so tight that the slide would operate when holstering the pistol and would almost pull your beltloops off while attempting to draw the weapon.
As suggested on one forum I wrapped the pistol in wax paper, inserted fully into the holster and placed in a warm location with an empty magazine and no round in the chamber. After 3 days I worked the pistol in and out of the holster for about an hour while watching TV. The difference was amazing. The holster is still very tight but now loose enough to allow for a proper draw without allowing for a fall or easy take away.
I personally would have preferred a more upright position but I still give this holster 100%.

Great product my 1911 fits in it like a glove. The delivery was done in a timely matter. As always opic plantet was great. Only thing is were it was made but thats my own fault. Still seems to be good quilty.

Bought the Remedy 57 for my Compact 4 inch M and P.Ive bought 2 other holster before I bought the Remedy 57 . It fits the gun like a glove .I was scared at first that I wasn't going to like it .The first time I slipped my gun in it ,it pulled the slide back .But, after working the gun in and out of the holster ,it was fine. I didn't have to buy a new belt, pants or nothing .Fits just fine .I'm going to get another Remedy 57 for my 5 inch M and P Performance Center C.O.R.E. Thank you so much for having the holster I needed .Richard .

I have been looking for a good quality small holster for my Glock 27 and when Optics Planet had this one on a sale price I decided to try it. The holster fits the pistol perfectly and it looks nice in brown. It is snug enough to prevent falling out but easy to remove. Highly recommend this product.

I have two of these for two different carry guns.

The most recent addition is for a Gen 5 Glock 19. This holster is very well made in the Bianchi tradition. It looks good and is light weight. I like these because they secure the firearm without straps and snaps. The only negative is the fit is very tight when brand new and needs a little breaking in - the belt slots are snug as well.

Gun fits good, leather is appropriately thick and firm, but the finish has a waxy look with what looks like a few small lumpy looking contaminants in what ever they used to finish the leather. I have a few other more recent holsters from Bianchi that have a similar finish but without the lumps. I understand that Bianchi moved their production facilities down to Mexico...probably to keep there prices down and mission accomplished. I have had Bianchi holsters made in the US in the past that where on par with makers like Gelco, however their finish quality isn't as good now. That said, There prices are much more reasonable at approx. half of what a Gelco cost now. If your looking for an affordable and functional leather holster with acceptable finish for concealment this works...If you want a nicer finish for open carry and don't mind paying around twice as much...then go for a Gelco or a custom rig for even more. I carry this one concealed for the most part and it will work fine for me!

I own 2 of these holsters, and carry with one or the other most of the time. Just the right amount of retention, and they conceal very well. Comfortable for all day carry too. This holster conceals under a slightly loose shirt in warm weather.

This is a nice fitting holster for my Smith and Wesson model 640. This is an older model 640 and rides comfortably outside my belt. The Bianchi rig is perfect for me as the cost was reasonable and the workmanship is just fine.

This is a well made holster and fits very well and holds gun secure. You will need to draw and wiggle side to side as it comes very tight but this will fix. All and all a well made pancake style holster.
