Through the 50s and 60s, Bianchi focused on exceeding the requirements of the law enforcement and military markets, becoming the brand of choice the world over. In the early 70s, Bianchi expanded to the outdoor sporting and OEM markets, achieving dozens of patents and product innovation awards.
Revolutionary holster innovations include the widely used thumb snap feature, the Model 27 “Break Front” holster featuring security and allowing a rapid draw, and the innovative Model X15® Shoulder Holster. The popularity of the X15® set the stage for Bianchi’s innovation in concealed carry design, which the company developed into the broadest line of truly innovative, concealment holsters available.
