The Bianchi 7001 Thumbsnap holster delivers secure retention and quick access for duty officers and concealed carry professionals. This outside-the-waistband design accommodates 4-inch barrel pistols with proven AccuMold construction that withstands daily wear.
What Makes This Different
The patented thumbsnap retention system provides Level I security while allowing single-handed draw techniques. Unlike generic holsters that rely solely on friction fit, the 7001 combines precise molding with active retention hardware. The AccuMold material resists cracking and maintains shape better than traditional leather, even after years of holstering and drawing.

Law enforcement agencies specify the 7001 series for patrol duty because the thumbsnap prevents weapon loss during physical confrontations while maintaining draw speed. The high-ride position keeps the grip accessible while reducing printing under cover garments. Field testing shows the AccuMold material maintains structural integrity through temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F.
