    • It’s like those ugly patchwork leather coats and handbags: they’re made from scraps but sold at full price.

    • I think maybe the stitching acts like sort of a hinge to allow the thumb snap upper portion of the holster to swing a little away and decrease the friction of the draw stroke to be more like an open-mouth holster once the snap is released.

  1. It’s hard to find a thumb break holster in S&W 627 N-frame 8 shot 4″ bbl for a south paw. Well DeSantis Leather makes one. Bianchi probably for the more common pistols, the stitches, meh.

  2. …available for a variety of carry and duty firearms from all of the major players…

    Evidently, Bianchi doesn’t consider Beretta a major player, nor FN, H&K, or any number of other major players. In fact, for one of these holsters, you’re not a major player unless you’re Glock or S&W. Too bad because I wouldn’t mind having that IWB for my FN Hi-Power.

      • Or Kirkpatrick Leather. Wide variety, quality leather and workmanship. For the Wrights, consider only the molded holsters. There are other famous makes as well, including Mitch Rosen and Cross Breed.

        • TT Gunleather, Milt Sparks, and a fella named Paul Tripodi who crafts holsters with the brand name Warbird. The latter doesn’t have a website, there are photos on the web, a pretty good turn around time.

  3. Snap holsters add another step to the draw. Not cool.

    Go to simplyrugged.com. Same price point for almost every model out there. I have a Sourdough Pancake holster for each of my revolvers. These holsters have good retention without the need for a snap.

    • Absolutely. Unless job required I’ll skip the snap every time. DeSantis speed scabbards have excellent adjustable retention. Haven’t had any iron fall out yet. Oh, and they look classy AF too.

  4. Bianchi has always made good leather. When I was 19-20 yoa I owned a 3 1/2″ S&W model 27. I bought a Bianchi holster for it. Unfortunately the revolver is long gone, but I still have the holster and it is perfectly serviceable today. Oh, I kinda like the Frankenstein stitches. No different than dressing up a holster with floral carving.

  5. These are something I have to see and touch before dropping a note on. Oh wait, no Beretta! Oh well. Truth be told I’ve been buying DeSantis leather holsters for about as long as I can remember. Ever since some PD plainclothes buddies showed me theirs I was hooked. And their gun belts are outstandingly tough and reliable. Takes me a good two years for my gut to warp one. That’s saying something.

  6. Other than a Milt Sparks and a DeSantis, most of my holsters have been custom built by Dave Workman, the originator of the tuckable CCR inside the belt holster. I have a bunch of them and they’ll outlast me. I tried to find his website (used to be his webmaster, years ago) but looks like he may have retired. He’s still an active writer in the gun field, however.

  7. What is “Italian leather”? – Is this a tanning process or is it leather from a Eurp socialist cow?
