The Bianchi 12839 Black Widow delivers secure retention and rapid deployment for medium-frame revolvers in a premium leather construction. This outside-the-waistband holster accommodates Ruger Security-Six and Smith & Wesson K-Frame revolvers with 2-4 inch barrels through its precision-molded fit.
What Makes This Different
The Black Widow series stands apart from generic leather holsters through Bianchi's proprietary leather treatment process and reinforced stitching patterns. While standard holsters often suffer from premature stretching and retention loss, this model maintains weapon security through thousands of draw cycles. The tan leather finish resists moisture absorption better than untreated alternatives, extending service life in humid conditions.
