Premium Full-Grain Leather with Suede Lining
The 5BHL is handcrafted from premium-grade, full-grain cowhide leather and then lined with suede on the inside. TLO Outdoors+2Palmetto State Armory+2
Material benefits:
Full-grain leather shell offers exceptional durability, shape retention, and an upscale, traditional look.
Suede lining protects the revolver’s finish from scratches and holster wear while giving a smooth, quiet draw.
Smooth tan finish pairs well with belts and boots, making it ideal for both range days and everyday carry. Bianchi Leather+3TLO Outdoors+3bucksnortoutfitters.com+3
This combination of materials gives you a holster that’s rugged enough for field use, yet refined enough to complement a classic snub-nose revolver.
Strongside Hi-Ride OWB Design – Comfort and Concealment
Bianchi designed the 5BHL Thumbsnap as a strongside, hi-ride belt holster that carries the revolver high and close to the body. Bianchi Leather+3TLO Outdoors+3GrabAGun+3
Key carry advantages:
Hi-ride position helps keep the muzzle above the belt line, improving comfort when sitting or driving.
Close-to-body profile aids in concealment under cover garments like jackets, flannels, or untucked shirts.
A slight forward cant (FBI cant) promotes a natural, ergonomic draw stroke from the hip. Bianchi Leather+3KYGUNCO+3GrabAGun+3
Whether you’re carrying casually around town or in the field, the 5BHL balances concealment, access, and day-long comfort.
Steel-Reinforced Thumbsnap – Secure Retention with Fast Access
The defining feature of this holster is Bianchi’s steel-reinforced thumb snap system. Bianchi Leather+3TLO Outdoors+3GrabAGun+3
Retention benefits:
Integral thumb snap secures the revolver and helps prevent the hammer spur from snagging on clothing. MidwayUSA+2Palmetto State Armory+2
The steel reinforcement keeps the thumb break strap stiff and consistent over years of use.
A quick, natural upward sweep of the thumb releases the strap during the draw, allowing a fast, clean presentation.
This makes the 5BHL ideal for field carry, casual concealment, and open carry where retention and speed both matter.
Sight Channel & High-Cut Leading Edge – Protect Your Sights
The 5BHL features Bianchi’s signature Sight Channel and a high-cut leading edge, designed to protect the adjustable or fixed sights on many snub revolvers. Bianchi Leather+3KYGUNCO+3GrabAGun+3
These design details:
Help prevent the front sight from dragging or snagging on leather during the draw.
Shield the rear sight area from bumps and scuffs when the revolver is holstered.
Contribute to the smooth, repeatable draw stroke that leather holster fans appreciate.
For shooters who value their sight picture and zero, this extra protection is a big plus.
Wide Belt Loop – Stable, Secure on the Belt
This model uses a belt loop mount with a wide loop to keep the holster stable on your belt. Bianchi Leather+5TLO Outdoors+5KYGUNCO+5
Belt compatibility and stability:
Fits belts from approximately 1.75" to 2.25" wide, making it compatible with most gun belts and heavy-duty leather belts. KYGUNCO+2bucksnortoutfitters.com+2
The wide loop spreads the weight of the revolver, reducing hot spots and sagging.
Keeps the holster from rolling or shifting during the draw or while moving, improving consistency and comfort.
If you’re using a quality belt, this holster locks in place and feels like part of your everyday rig.
Closed Muzzle & Classic OWB Profile
The Bianchi 5BHL is built with a closed muzzle design, which: MidwayUSA+2Palmetto State Armory+2
Protects the front of the barrel and front sight from dirt and debris.
Prevents the muzzle from contacting or snagging on clothing.
