BIANCHIUM84 Universal Military Holster, Black, Size R

I bought this for a Ruger Redhawk 44. I live in Alaska, and intend to mount the holster on mountain bikes and ATVs for critter protection. The good news is the pistol fits in the holster, and it's a very snug fit, so I have no concern about the pistol accidentally coming out. However, the flap will not close with the pistol in the holster. No biggie for me, as I just removed the flap. I only wanted the cover to keep the weather out, so it's not a deal breaker. Overall, I like the fit of the pistol in the holster and it looks well made. I would recommend it to others if closing the flap is not a concern.

I am using it for a S&W Governor and it fits well. It's well built and extremely rugged and most importantly it protects the pistol.

My only complaint is that the flap needs to be a bit longer for my 4" GP100. Other than that, great holster, nice snug fit, protects the firearm well. I've owned two of these for different handguns and they are just great. This is not a speedy holster but if you're looking for a good field holster that holds your weapon tight and protects it well, this is a fine choice.

The headline says it all.But, also note that other reviews for this product that mention the "M1815 thumbstrap" not fitting this holster (supposedly due to being too short) are, simply and plainly, wrong.First, there is no Bianchi "M1815 thumbstrap", though there is a Bianchi M1415 thumbsnap.Ok.Second, the M1415, when used with either this holster or with the similar Bianchi holsters for 1911 / Beretta M92 models, will only snap closed when the holsters *have* *been* *broken* *in* for the given firearm.These holsters are a combination of a nylon mesh shell with padding. So, they don't just automatically jump onto a given firearm.So that you know . . .

This is the UM84R holster for revolvers, in spite of the photo on the listing at the time of this review, which shows the UM84 Pistol holster.My Ruger GP100 .357 magnum with 4.2 inch barrel fits nicely, albeit initially a bit tight when inserting it and with the flap. When new, one much push the revolver completely into the holster as the opening is narrow. That loosens a little over time as the holster widens slightly and its flap reshapes some as both conform to the revolver's shape. The flap will initially be tight to close over the revolver, but still opens without any trouble. The GP100 fits deeply with the trigger guard completely inside the holster. Its adjustable rear sight may drag some when removing the revolver. This is solved by pulling backward some on the grip while pulling it out, to pull the sight away from the inside of the holster until it clears.Important Note (as Amazon has this currently offered bundled with this holster):You **CANNOT** use the Bianchi M1815 thumbsnap in lieu of the flap as it's not long enough! Bianchi, are you listening? Your revolver holster users would like one long enough!

Unfortunately I purchased this thinking it was an UM84 it’s actually an UM84-R after it arrived, I noted that off to the right it has “type R”My fault, but I would advise UM84-R in the lead.It’s ok, as I have a revolver that will fit, but I will have to find the UM84 for my Berettas now.

Purchase was canceled. Not n stock

It may be pricey but it holds my 4in S&W 686+ and Taurus 627 tracker fantastically!!! It is big , (but it's designed to hold big guns) but it's not overly bulky. just make sure you have a belt that will support the weight!
