Disappointed at first, but after adjusting it, very cool and very good upright shoulder holster - Bianchi X15 Shoulder Holster

When I originally opened the shipping box, this was an item that I'm certain was a return. The top cardboard product label had the staple legs bent apart and was hardly hooked into the cardboard label...and there weren't any instructions. At first I was going to send it back but Bianchi/Safari makes some pretty good stuff. So after checking Bianchi's site and getting some ideas on how it should be adjusted started making sense. As I started with the leather adjustment, I was pretty impressed they used a 'molle' type weave to adjust the leather loops over the shoulder. I needed a small screwdriver to assist in unweaving the molle leather straps.I left the top one in to keep it from moving once I get a good adjustment. After a few iterations I got it to fit my left shoulder and adjusting the elastic straps was pretty easy. I was surprised at how little stretch is needed for the elastic straps that basically are there to keep the shoulder straps in place. Since this is a vertical holster I had to run my tactical belt through the holster to secure it. Once that was done, it fit and felt great.

I'm using a S&W 686 Plus .357 magnum with 6 " barrel, so this is the ultimate conceal and carry...lol I actually only plan to wear it at the range and maybe an unloaded pistol in the holster for Halloween or something.

Anyway I'm glad I didn't send it back since I got a really great discount from OpticsPlanet.
