At SHOT Show: Bianchi's New Ambidextrous Waistband Holster

Bianchi introduced its 6A Ambi Waistband Holster at the 2020 SHOT Show. Its ultra-thin, lightweight design with four different ways to carry

ONTARIO, California – Bianchi®, a brand of The Safariland Group, today announced it will introduce the Model 6A Ambi Waistband Holster at the 2020 SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor and Trade) Show, booth #12762. The Bianchi Ambi holster features an ambidextrous design, providing both strong side and crossdraw carry, and allows both inside-the-waistband (IWB) and outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry, offering four different ways to wear this holster.

The 6A Ambi is ultra-thin and lightweight and designed to accept multiple handguns in one size, due to a combination of the soft suede construction and Bianchi’s Adjust-A-Break™ thumb break closure. This allows for adjustability and a secure fit around several different sized pistols, or removal for those who prefer an open-top design. This thumb break features a polymer tipped snap closure with suede straps that attach via hook and loop to either side of the holster.

“Comfort, concealability and safety are hallmarks of Bianchi holsters and this new Ambi holster adds excellent versatility to that mix,” said James Dawson, category director for Safariland’s Duty Gear business unit.  Inside waistband holsters have been trending for the last few years and we’ve taken this model one step further by combining a multi-fit design with a versatile carry – both inside and outside the waistband, with the ability to wear it strong side or cross draw .”

Based off the popular, longstanding Model 6 Waistband design, the Model 6A Ambi Waistband Holster features a heavy-duty clip which keeps the holster securely in place and allows for a 1.75” belt width. The lightweight suede construction has a double-stitched seam in the welt area for strength and durability.

Available in March 2020, this holster is offered in nine different fits for a variety of small-medium frame revolvers and small to large frame pistols including Colt, Glock, Ruger, Sig Sauer, S&W, and Springfield. It is available in a Tan or Black suede leather with an MSRP of $35.00.
