Bianchi cyclone fit?

[ColbyBruce]

The Cyclone is my work. The Cyclone has always been an open muzzle design.

No, not in the beginning. This picture was taken from a 1982 Bianchi product catalog. The holsters are closed, not open.

It says open muzzle right on the picture?

 

[ColbyBruce]

Yes it does but the pictures show them stitched closed.

Na there stiched like that on both sides because the liner suede is sewn to the outer leather but the bottoms still open. But they do look closed from the side.

I purchased this #111 Cyclone (right, with 617 no dash) and a 4" 686 new in 1982. The holster was evidently manufactured before the introduction of the L Frames, as it is marked 4" Colt & DW .357 with no mention of the S&W's. It is open muzzle and covers the barrel with about 1/2" to spare.
