All the Bianchi forward draw holster co-existed. The #350 was a semi-front opening holster; that is, only the top split open. That eliminated both the rear snatch, and the side snatch. Somehow Bill Rogers convinced Police America that rear snatch was not as dangerous as a front snatch, and sold 'em the SSIII (which draws/drew to the rear; i.e., literally a spring crossdraw holster worn on the strong side). What a salesman!!!
