Bianchi International is recognized by shooting enthusiasts worldwide as the largest, leading designer and manufacturer of the most innovative and highest quality handgun holsters and accessories. Bianchi began four decades ago with one off-duty police officer and a nineteenth century sewing machine. Today a wide range of increasingly diversified and unique Bianchi holsters and accessories are available. Bianchis many patented innovations have aggressively and consistently set the pace in holster technology. It was Bianchis heritage and tradition in leather holsters and accessories that put the company on the map. Yet, while Bianchis reputation for exceptional leather holsters prevails, Bianchi history also includes revolutionary holster design in ballistic weave nylon and other high-performance man-made materials. Now as then, the Bianchi vision and commitment to innovative holster design and crafting with the utmost care from the finest materials continue to set new standards in the industry.
