The Bianchi 105 Minimalist Belt Slide Holster delivers streamlined carry for compact revolvers without unnecessary bulk. This open-top design prioritizes quick access while maintaining secure retention for 2-inch barrel revolvers.
What Makes This Different
The minimalist construction eliminates excess material found in traditional holsters, reducing print and weight by approximately 40% compared to full-coverage designs. Premium leather construction provides natural grip retention that adjusts to the firearm over time. The belt slide attachment system positions the revolver close to the body for improved concealment.
Key Features
- Open-top design enables fast, unobstructed draw stroke
- Premium tan leather construction with hand-finished edges
- Belt slide design accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Fits Ruger SP101 and Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers with 2-inch barrels
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant
- Minimal profile reduces printing under clothing
- Reinforced mouth maintains shape for smooth reholstering
Field performance centers on the balance between retention and accessibility. The leather naturally conforms to the revolver's contours, creating custom-fit retention without mechanical devices. Weather resistance comes from the leather's natural oils, though periodic conditioning maintains flexibility in extreme conditions. The design works effectively for concealed carry, range training, and casual outdoor activities.
