Back in 1974 our local Liquor Store had a Bianchi Holster Rack that was well stocked. It was a circular rack with holsters hanging all the way around it. I started carrying handguns in Bianchi Leather Holsters. I still have several of my original ones from the 1970's for guns like the 4" K Frame S&W, 4" N Frame S&W and 5" 1911. I have an N Frame Cross Draw, Cyclone, and a X15 for 6.5" N S&W's. Several different guns have been used in the holsters, but I have kept these holsters all these years, and I have added to them over the years. To me a high quality holster for my handguns is a requirement.
I am around lots of people who carry handguns today. I am continually surprised at how many people carry in low quality, sloppy fit nylon holsters. Their idea of a good holster would be a formed plastic one. I realize the economy makes spare dollars pretty scarce. I would think a $600 handgun would rate a quality, made to fit holster.
What are your thoughts and observations on this?
