FRANCO MARIC from United States, NY Public Profile

The specific holster I was hunting for on every website and holster specialists said the Bianchi 5BH for a 2 inch Colt Detective Special was no longer being produced and everywhere I checked it was no longer in stock. I have had this holster from Bianchi for the past 40 years and it is still holding up and serviceable but I wanted a new one but everywhere I turned from Amazon to Ebay to Etsy etc. etc had zero, zip, nothing! They were all trying to push the 4 inch version in leather! I do not like Kydex...I do not like polymer...I do not like plastic or whatever wonder cloth these places are pushing now days. I am old school and I want my firearms carried in LEATHER! And i do not want to hear all the propaganda about "well synthetics are better for your firearm's finish and care and maintenance and synthetics are lighter and look prettier blah blah blah" I have been carrying my handguns in leather holsters for over 50 years and they all look and operate just fine and have the character of well cared for and functional firearms that I still carry and depend on. In any case...Optics Planet had the so called out of production no longer available exact holster I was hunting for and I could not believe it when I saw it listed as for sale in brand new condition! I was skeptical at first cause the shipping took a while longer than I thought it would but when that package came and I opened it up I could not believe my eyes as I thought maybe they would send me a close substitute but l

Compact and all inclusive kit ready for basic cleaning and maintenance at the range or home. Well made materials should hold up to normal use. The carry bag itself is very durable and easy to throw in the truck or car and keeps everything inside well organized and protected.

Excellent product and well made....fits perfect on my Benelli M4. Installation was a breeze and trouble free. holds shells securely any side up and will not shake free during firing if shells are installed upside down. Suggest use of Blue Locktite on installation screws. Would highly recommend.
