Beautiful Leather in a Classic Thumbsnap Design
The Classic 5BHL Thumbsnap is finely crafted outside the waistband holster that traditionalist will be sure to enjoy. Handcrafted from premium-grade, full-grain leather and lined with suede, the 5BHL Thumbsnap model is ideal for field and casual concealment of most revolvers. It has a steel-reinforced thumb snap for retention, and the high-cut leading edge of the holster is designed to protect the adjustable rear sights found on many revolvers. For comfort and concealment, the Bianchi 5BHL Thumbsnap holster features a strongside, hi-ride design and hand-boning, which allows the gun to be carried close to the body.Bianchi 5BHLThumbsnap Belt Holster Medium/Large Frame Revolver Specifications and Features

Very Impressed!!
I am also very pleased. I like how it was fabricated. It looks like it was die cut, folded and machine sewn. I have a S&W , model 686, 4in barrel and it fits perfectly into the holster. It also looks as if it was machine stamped to match the profile of the cylinder. Very cool!

I have a 3' S&W Model 36
I have a 3' S&W Model 36 from the early '70s. There's a pretty small selection of commercial holsters available for it, but this one is really nice.If you're upgrading from a nylon holster, you'll be surprised at how much smaller the package becomes.For me, the thumb strap is pretty tight. I suppose I'd rather have it this way to start, and then let it break in.

This is a nice holster for the money. Quality leather and a snug secure fit. Only complaint was the strap was really hard to snap the first time. It has gotten better the more I use it. I would reccomend this.

This is a superb full-grain thick leather holster that fit my S&W 627 (four inch barrel) perfectly. As stated in the copy, it is molded to fit precisely and protrudes to protect the rear site. The trigger is exposed; however, as long as the thumbsnap is closed, there is no way for the revolver to fire as it fits tightly over the hammer. There's no fancy scrollwork, just a great holster. If you want a good solid leather high-ride, close-to-the-body holster, I don't see how you can be disappointed with this product.

Although I've been told to only buy the most expensive custom holsters to ensure a quick repeatable draw, this $60 Bianchi does the trick. A good belt is a must, and the lining is a little rough on the finish (think of how you sharpen a barber's razor... with a suede leather strap!) but I KNOW that my gun isn't going anywhere no mater what the activity even with the snap unfastened. Good for concealment with a sports coat it is versatile and quality manufacture. The leather has nice rounded edges and is fairly thick, unlike some cheaper imitations. Anyone would be proud of how this holster will hold up over the years. I've had mine for 5 years for daily use now.I just wish there were more in stock!!
