Military style holster with top cover to protect rear of pistol from brush and other debris. Excellent quick release for belts and other attachment systems. Heavy cordura with padding and a cool cleaning rod and storage on the portion of holster outside the barrel. This holster is not for concealment.
Pros: Excellent coverage and protection for pistols of various manufacturers. Stout functional quick disconnect to facilitate attaching / removal from belts or straps. Pistol stays put and is protected from brush and debris which is the ticket for hunters or others that hike lots in varied terrain and brush and have a sidearm. It takes minimal time to unhook cover and extract pistol. The military issues this holster for a reason, it protects the sidearm and really secures it, tight unit.
Cons: Removing pistol is not as quick as with a thumbreak holster or others that utilize straps or other lock mechanisms. Bianchi makes straps for those that require faster drawing but the top flap is removed to do so.This holster is the best I have seen to protect your sidearm.
