Design Features and Western Profile
The 1L Lawman series is described as a sleek Western belt holster with clean lines and an exposed trigger guard, reflecting a traditional single-action revolver presentation. rkguns.com+3Bianchi Leather+3bianchifits.com+3
Design characteristics include:
Exposed trigger guard: Typical of early Western holsters, offering a more open profile for a faster, less obstructed grip on the revolver. bianchifits.com+1
Open muzzle: The holster is cut open at the bottom, allowing debris to clear and supporting revolvers of the specified barrel length without adding extra bulk. customgunsolutions.com+3Black Market Arms+3Impact Guns+3
Classic Western contour: The holster body follows the outline of single-action revolvers, with a swept rear edge and traditional-style throat.
These elements combine to provide a holster that looks and carries like a traditional Western rig while still being built to modern production tolerances.
Retention System: Front Strap Closure Behind the Hammer
Retention is handled by a front strap closure that wraps behind the hammer, a design Bianchi highlights across multiple 1L Lawman configurations: customgunsolutions.com+3Bianchi Leather+3bianchifits.com+3
Retention strap: Wraps from the front of the holster and closes behind the revolver’s hammer, helping secure the firearm against accidental displacement.
Snap closure: Typically uses a snap-fastened strap for quick release when drawing.
Single-action focus: The strap routing is optimized for single-action revolvers, taking advantage of the exposed hammer spur geometry.
This system aims to provide a balance between secure retention when moving, riding, or working, and reasonably fast access when drawing with proper technique.
Belt Loop, Ride Height, and Belt Compatibility
One of the defining features of the 1L Lawman is its foldover belt loop, which is integrated into the holster body and built for wider gun belts commonly used in Western and field applications. customgunsolutions.com+3Bianchi Leather+3bianchifits.com+3
Belt interface details:
The fixed belt loop creates a stable platform with minimal shifting on the belt, which is important when carrying heavier all-steel single-action revolvers.
Firearm Compatibility and Barrel Length
This specific SKU, Bianchi 10045, is tailored for longer-barrel single-action Colts and related models. Retail specs consistently list: customgunsolutions.com+3Palmetto State Armory+3Impact Guns+3
