Which holster would you pick?

[lil_bro]

A Bianchi Black Widow.

Or a Bianchi 19 Thumbsnap.

I am leaning towards the Thumbsnap but I am not sure how "secure"(sliding around on the belt)it is.

Both holsters are for a P95 and will be used for open carry around the farm and when hiking.


Thanks for any input.
Michael.

I'd be surprised if it actually slid on your belt. IF you get a good gunleather belt (do not go to J.C. Penney or Target....this has to be a heavy belt for this purpose) it isn't going anywhere.

I have a DeSantis OWB holster for my Kimber and the first few times I pushed the belt through the leather flap I wasn't altogether sure I was even going to get the holster onto the belt. Both the belt and the holster have relaxed a bit since, so it's not so hard, but the holster stays where I put it on the belt.

Unless you're planning on doing tumbling routines in it, I think either one will be fine.

Dillon Precision sells an excellent, sturdy belt.

I would choose the Bianchi. A good, heavy duty (thick) 1.5" to 1.75" wide belt will make a big difference too - - the best source of which around my parts is a leather shop in the flea market.

Out of those two, I would go with the Bianchi 19 Thumbsnap because it covers the whole firearm that will help keep debris out for the most part. And like the others have said, get a good belt.

I have a Black Widow for my HK uspc which I like because the thinner thumbstrap allows me to carry C&L but I don't like the open bottom. I say if you're just carrying open on your property try the thumbsnap

I own 2 Bianchi 19L's, they are very good holsters

Thanks all.


I think I will be getting the Thumbsnap instead of the Black Widow.


As for a belt I found one that is also made by Bianchi but I don't know how thick it is.

Is this kinda what y'all had in mind?

Nice belt. That ought to do it. I bought mine locally because I wanted to make sure it would fit both me and the loops on my jeans . But that looks great.

I've got several Bianchi 7's and 7l's. Good quality and the price is reasonable. Essex

The 19 much more protection for the gun. Hikeing or on the farm you need that extra leather for protection.

Open carry - I would go with the thumbstrap. Normally, I wouldn't but w/open carry- it gives you an extra layer of protection
