BIANCHI 19L Thumbsnap

If you want a quality holster that fits the gun it's intended for with out a break-in to out the leather and rub the finish off your firearm, THEN BUY A BIANCHI HOLSTER, because they do it right.I have several of the #19 holsters, they never disappoint. HIGHLY RECOMEND !

These are all outstanding holsters which are well designed and produced. Each has been designed to custom fit specific makes and models of firearms. My only problem has been that the description which is listed on the Amazon website is not always correct, specifically the color (black is shown but it's actually tan), or the Bianchi stock number is in error. Before you order, go to the Bianchi website at www.bianchi-intl.com and then go to the "Holster Selector" section (upper right hand corner of the home page) Use the "Select Material" box to identify your specific manufacturer. I then click on the "Leather" radio button. Then select "Search". The "Search Results" will provide you with a list, including color photographs, of the available products. Select the design that you prefer, and scroll down to the area "Fits For Product Model XXXX" This table lists all of the fits for that design. If your firearm is not listed, that design is probably not available. Remember, these are custom fit holsters. The "Finish/Color" column information lists the available colors, i.e., tan or black. The next two columns have the Bianchi part number for either a left hand or right hand design. This is the most important data in the table. You'll need to think about this choice. I always order "right hand" because I am right handed. If you intend to wear it on the right side of your body, you're all set. However, if removing or re-holstering is uncomfortable for you using your right hand, then it can be worn in reverse on the left side of your body. The converse is also true for left handed people.Firearms should always be protected when they are not being properly stored. I purchased a steel safe for this purpose. These holsters are outstanding for protecting your firearms while they are being transported. For example, to and from the firing range or in your automobile while you are traveling or driving to or through an area for which you may need to provide your own personal, self-defense.

I like the quality and looks for sure! Highly recommend!

The photo shows a thumbsnap holster with the retention strap crossing the rear of the slide. What you will receive is a holster whose retaining strap crosses the rear of the grip below the beavertail. The retaining strap's position makes taking the pistol in a firing grasp and drawing it impossible. One must lift the pistol from the holster to clear the retention strap, take a new grip, then present the pistol. Unacceptable for a defense carry holster. This holster will be relegated to range duty, if that. The Front Line holster found here on Amazon is a much better buy in my opinion.

I have older versions of the 19L holster I purchased many years ago. At a glance, the new model seems to be the same as the older ones. HOWEVER, the belt loop has been modified to appease the whiners among us who thought it was too difficult to get a belt through the belt loop. With the newest design, the belt loop is stretched to allow "easy installation" of a belt through said loop. Fine a dandy, EXCEPT, on the new model the holster flops forward and back and all over the place. It's everything expect stable. Lesson 101 on how to ruin a previously excellent product. Way to go Bianchi! You need to back up on this.

Holster doesn’t even cover the trigger and can’t even come close to being able to close the thumb snap.

It is snug but fits a Glock 20 just fine. I was concerned about the fit. Mine is just fine. Exactly what I was looking for.

Fits my G17.4 like a custom fitted glove. Top quality. Great price. Buy one. You will not be disappointed.
