Bianchi Accumold Paddle Holsters

[Murray56]

I own three handguns.

A S&W 686-4", a High Standard M103 Sport King, and a Taurus M85UL. I am looking to purchase the Bianchi Model 7500's for the S&W and Taurus, while selecting the 7000 Sporting Holster for the Sport King.

My primary purpose for the 7500's will be to use them while out in the desert target practicing. Given their paddle design, sidearm utilization, with quick installation and removal is my goal.
Holsters will ease my reloadinging and helping of others when instructing how to use a firearm. Basically a location to safely secure the handgun while walking and talking.

While conceal carry could be possible for the M85, it is unlikely due to the "legalities" living in Cali.. {However, it could be an option.}

My question to the forum is; does anyone have experience with either one of these models? If so with the 7500, does the paddle holster secure your handgun of choice with confidence?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
MC Murray

I have a bunch of these holsters, for a bunch of different handguns (pistols, mostly).

You have to spend a bit of time getting the cant just right and then really tighten down on the setting screws, but after that these holsters work just fine. The only potential drawback is that they do not hold the pistol tight to the body (as, for instance, does a "pancake" style). The other drawback possibly is that there is a limit to the combined thickness of belt and pants that will fit into the slot into which they must fit for the holster to seat properly; you cannot, for instance, use these holsters with a 2-1/4" leather duty belt.

I have an accumold belt holster for my Makarov.

It's well over twenty years old and still looks brand new.

When it gets dirty, I just toss it into the washing machine.
