I would NOT recommend optics planet.



Last year at this time I was in the market for a shoulder holster for my Taurus 617 revolver.

I selected a holster and found the best price for that holster listed at optics planet.

I ordered the holster and I waited and waited............................................................................................

I called them several times and they kept saying that it was back ordered.

I checked with Bianchi to see what the hold up was and I found out that optics planet was not even a Bianchi dealer and that there was no problem getting the holster.

I got a recommendation from Bianchi for an on-line dealer and I contacted them and got my holster.

I paid a few bucks more for the holster than was advertised by optics planet, but I got my holster.



This is where I got my holster... http://www.copquest.com/



Good Luck

It was the exact opositefor me. When I placed my order I asked if the holster was in stock and she said yes. It went out that day and I had it two days after that.

Glad it worked well for you. My experience was a year ago and things may have changed.



In all fairness the holster I ordered was the X16L Agent X Shoulder system. It is lined and from what I can tell from the Bianchi Web site, they no longer make the lined holster, I did have to pay more for it, and it was not as readily available was the un-lined holster.

I would rather have the lined holster. Then you dont have to worry about scratches and the like. When you pay that much for a weapon, you sure dont want to damage it with inferior add-ons.

I agree. That is why I payed more and got mine.

You could always check with Bianchi and see if they still will make them.
