I remember them as pretty nice holsters and bought one to use with my model 15 before I was hired by LASO. LASO issued a break-front Safety Speed that was ok but not what I wanted exactly. Found a fellow Deputy who really wanted the Bianchi 27 and I gave it to him and saved my money for a Hoyt and drove to Costa Mesa to buy my Hoyt. Used Hoyt for the rest of my revolver carrying days. Best holster for me. I subsequently discovered A.E. Nelson and looked at their break-front holsters that were very, very similar to the Hoyt. Well made, widely used in the Northwest as they have been made in the Salem/Scio area of Oregon for years.

The Bianchi was a very good holster but I never warmed up to it....just one of those personal things. I did, however, use many of the other Bianchi holsters and equipment. Always top shelf materials and workmanship.
