The Bianchi 15718 Black Widow delivers secure retention and fast draw capabilities for Glock pistols in a premium leather construction. This outside-the-waistband holster combines traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality for law enforcement, competitive shooters, and concealed carry practitioners.
What Makes This Different
The Black Widow series features Bianchi's proprietary retention system that secures the firearm without requiring thumb breaks or mechanical devices. Premium top-grain leather construction provides durability that improves with age, while the belt slide design offers a lower profile than paddle holsters. The molded fit ensures consistent positioning and eliminates the loose fit common in generic leather holsters.
Key Features
- Fits Glock 17, 19, and 22 pistols with precise molded retention
- Premium black leather construction with reinforced stitching
- Belt slide design accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Right-hand draw configuration with forward cant angle
- Open muzzle design allows for various barrel lengths
- Tension screw adjustment for customized retention pressure
- Size 14 designation ensures proper fit for specified Glock models
Field performance demonstrates reliable retention during physical activity while maintaining smooth draw stroke mechanics. The leather material provides natural grip texture that prevents slippage during high-stress situations. Weather resistance improves over time as the leather develops a protective patina, making this holster suitable for daily carry in various environmental conditions.
