Agree, but walking through the woods I like to keep things as small as possible.b everything around her wants to grab and hold on.

And I thought Bianchi made leather for the working man.
They just rebrand someone else's work?

John Bianchi sold Bianchi International to Armor Holdings in 2004, who were then bought by BAE in 2007.

John Bianchi founded Frontier Gunleather, but Frontier was more handmade than the Bianchi, probably. Not sure if they're "actual" Bianchis as John passed away in 2001.

As I said, I recently purchased a Frontier Gunleather holster for my Legion 10mm. It is a beautiful piece of work and cost half of what Sig, the only other company with a holster for my weapon, wanted. I then found a Swiss company, Craft Holsters, who custom made a very high quality "small of the back" concealment holster for my Legion at an unbelievable price.
