Bianchi 111 Cyclone Leather Holster
The Bianchi 111 Cyclone comes from a long line of practical American holster making. Bianchi became known for leather gun leather made for working use, serving law enforcement, military, sporting, and civilian customers. That same practical approach shows in the Cyclone: a straightforward belt holster designed around how a long-barreled revolver is actually carried.
Made for 8 3/4-inch-barreled Smith & Wesson and Ruger .44 revolvers, this holster is particularly well suited to hunters and outdoorsmen. The leather is hand molded around the revolver for a close, custom-like fit, while the high-ride design keeps the gun carried close to the body.
What makes the Cyclone especially useful is its two-loop belt arrangement. It allows the holster to be worn either strong-side or cross draw, giving the wearer some choice depending on the work at hand. A suede lining helps protect the revolver's finish, while the open muzzle accommodates the long barrel without adding unnecessary leather. The quick-release thumb snap provides practical retention, and the 1.75-inch belt slots are suited to a substantial working belt.
