BianchiModel 101, Foldaway Belt Slide Gun Holster

Simple yet comfortable and perfect fit!
I was unsure about this due to how simple it was. I had recently purchased this at a local Walmart for 24.95$. I immediately checked on my Amazon account when I got home and was shocked to find out this was only 7.60$ so I took it back and ordered from my account.I also wasn't sure if this was going to fit my Beretta PX4, Smith&Wesson .40 cal or Springfield Armory .40 Cal. To my amazement it fits all 3 perfectly and it is beyond comfortable. I uploaded a few pictures showing the Beretta Px4 and S&W .40 to demonstrate proper fit. There is also a picture showing what it looks like disarmed, how flat it is.This is a great buy for such a simple device that fits perfectly and is comfortable at the same time. Can't beat the price and you should also enjoy it if you carry quite often, it's much more comfortable than any of the hard plastic tactical holsters or the vinyl strap snap holsters. Can't beat the price for the simplicity, quality and how comfortably this is!Item arrived extremely fast with free 2 day prime membership. Putting this on my gift list for other family and friends that carry firearms.

Not a holster; must be worn with a belt and only covers the outside of the firearm.
Don’t let the headline fool you this is a great minimalistic wat to carry a firearm but it isn’t a holster.This doesn’t in and of itself secure your firearm and it’s trigger. This is great for smaller auto/pistols like the Glock 26/27 so long as you don’t have to use the restroom in a seated position. Once you loosen the belt this losses the integrity it has and the weapon can easily come out. This may be me as I’m used to holsters which retain the firearm. Besides that it is good. It also wouldn’t be for high motion activities. The other thing that I don’t like is the need to wear a heavy belt, or at least heavier leather or canvas belt; when I tried this with a dress belt, around 1” it had quite a bit of motion.This all being said I just picked this up and haven’t worn it that much so my review may change as I wear it more. I have a lot of holsters some with 1,000s of hours on them; while this may not be a go to it will fill a niche.

Low profile with more retention than you think
If you are like me you have a closet full of holsters. This turns out to be my favorite.I use this holster all the time. I carry a S&W Shield. I also use the number 16 for my larger pistols. What I like about these holsters are they are light weight, low profile, have more retention then you would think but also when you go someplace that is posted your gun stays in the car and the holster just collapses against your hip. There is the ability to adjust retention by simply tightening your belt. Price doesn't matter to me because I want something that works and this does. The best part is this is the most inexpensive holster I own.

No guard, single piece
This does not fully cover the trigger. It's a single, flat piece of leather - it does not open up in any way like I expected. It's basically the outside half of a holster, the gun rides against your belt on the inside. I got this for a pistol with a manual safety so I'm not too worried about it, but beware it may not be safe for all models. It also may cause wear on the gun against your belt. Otherwise would be 5 stars, light and minimal and great price point.

Not exactly what I was thinking it was.
I thought this was a regular handgun slide made so that a handgun would be held between two pieces of leather. It is constructed so that the handgun lays against your belt between the piece of leather and between your belt. This causes handgun to rub on your belt all day long. It does fit close to your body but some handguns have rather abrasive handles on them and this does not provide any protection from the abrasion of the handgun on your skin. It is probably better for a person to go ahead and order a regular holster that has a fold of leather behind it so that there is protection for your skin from the abrasion of the handgun handle.

Every CCW owner should have two.
Contrary to the listing this is a Bianchi Model 101 size 10. Regardless, I did my research and the numbers lined up so I bought it.This is great. I have a dozen CC holsters and none have been perfect. Not to say this one is perfect, but for what I need it to do it is ideal.This holster fits the Glock 42 like it was meant for it. It is not listed as one of the guns it fits, but the universal design is just right for the new Glock 42. I wanted a holster that didn't add any width to the gun. I went through the trouble of finding and training with a thin gun then every holster on the market makes it twice as thick. Not this one.I like that it is outside the waistband so I didn't need to replace all my pants with something slightly bigger. And unlike most OWB holsters, when you take out the gun this one doesn't look like a holster any more. So when you head into starbucks you can leave the gun in the car and if some one spots your holster, no worries, it just looks like some sort of stylish patch of leather on your belt. I think I'm even going to have it engraved.I got one in tan and black, the black definitely does a better job of concealing, the tan gives contrast to the gun and makes the gun more noticeable. I'm only worried about situations where my jacket or shirt gets pulled a little too high of course.It is nice and tight to your body, yet the flexible design allows the gun to move just enough to not poke and prod you while still staying securely in the holster.

works better than I expected, its a keeper.
I usually carry my 45 shield iwb, but I wanted to carry on the belt sometimes. this may be the best way I have seen yet. it kinda clamps the gun to you belt quite firmly and holds it there. I have a 9 shield and the 45, but I have other M&Ps that this works for, such as a full size 9mm,. when I looked at this I thought it wouldn`t be very good, & I could always send it back. it a keeper, at least for me. its minimalist & "elegant in its simplicity". in fact, I have ordered a spare for myself & 2 for my shooting buddy. every shooter I have shown it to has said they would get one too. it also works well for a small frame Glock, such as a model 19.
