Bianchi, UM92 Military Holster with Trigger Guard Shield, I, Olive Drab, UM92-I

Love these Bianchis over the original for the box that secures the trigger and trigger guard. Holds the weapon in a more stable position. It's fairly universal if you buy for the right barrel length and it pairs outstandingly with the Bianchi thumbs strap system. I usually just ditch the top flap.

Works great. Fits my M&P40 2.0 (5” barrel) perfectly.

Great holster very secure fits my PT-945 perfectly. I needed a covered holster to allow for sand and dust protection while gold prospecting in the desert.

It fits my colt 1911 like a glove. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good holster. It is the same quality as the one I used for many years in the US Marines.

Returned. Would not close with my 92fs .

Without any shadow of a doubt, the Bianchi UM92-I - along with the U.S. military issue M12 and its civilian counterpart UM84 - is one of the best and most versatile military flap holsters ever made designed. It's easy to convert from right to left hand use and back. It keeps dirt and debris effectively away from the sidearm and holds it securely in place. If handgun retention has utmost priority over speed, then this is the perfect field/woods holster or for other forms of open carry. Because of its size and bulk it's not suitable for concealment but as anyone can recognize when seeing it, that ain't this holsters purpose. Neither it is the right holster for the uniformed law enforcement officer, though it can certainly work in pinch and special circumstances and certainly in tactical situations where the handgun is delegated as a secondary weapon to a primary long gun.The main difference between the Bianchi UM92 in comparison to the earlier Bianchi UM84 and the military issue version M12 that that the UM92 incorporates an additional polymer plastic insert in the trigger guard area, which additionally stabilizes the pistol inside of the holster and improves security even more.The UM92-I is the larger version which can hold a wide range of large frame service pistols like the the Beretta 92/96 full size, Colt 1911 Government Model, Beretta 92/96, Brünner CZ75, Glock 20/21, Luger P.08, Para-Ordnung P18.9/P14.45/P16.40, SIG P210, Smith & Wesson M1006/4506, Steyr GB, Taurus PT-92/PT-99/PT-945 and the Walther P.38 and many others.There is also a slightly more compact version of this holster - called the UM92-II - fits slightly smaller duty and compact handguns like the Glock 17/19/22/23 or SIG-Sauer P226/228/P229 or equivalent sized pistols. I guess, the larger pistols like the Glock 17/22, SIG-Sauer P226 might be usable in the larger UM92-I without problems or risk of loosing the weapon.For the record, the UM84R is another, special version that was designed for medium and medium-heavy frame double-action revolvers with a 4 inch barrel like the classic S&W M10/64 .38 Military & Police, the M66 Combat Magnum, the ubiquitous M586/686, Colt Python, Colt King Cobra, Ruger Speed Six/Police Service-Six/Security Six and the GP100-series of revolvers.One word of caution on surplus M12 U.S. military holsters: These holsters were first designed by renowned holster manufacturer Bianchi (now owned by company Safariland) and fielded along with the Beretta M9 (military version of Beretta 92F/FS in NATO standard caliber 9 mm Luger), starting in the mid-1980s. Since the Colt M1911 .45 Auto pistol was still in use at that time along with the new M9, the M12 issue holster had to be able to hold both reasonably well.Since many M12s were fielded, they can be had much more inexpensively in pretty good or like-new condition than either of the commercial Bianchi UM92 and UM84. However, the customer is advised to check out the exact manufacturer printed on the rubber belt slide on the back of military surplus M12 holsters, as not all were actually made by Bianchi. There were other manufacturers contracted to produce the M12 holster as well. At first glance they all look more or less identical, but if you touch and feel a "genuine" Bianchi M12 and compare it to one made by any of the other companies you quickly note that the Bianchi-made version is noticeably stiffer and likely much more durable. I also think the "Bianchis" are a little bit tighter inside, which I like, as that makes for a more solid hold of the pistol. That may be more critical with M12s that lack the UM92's additional polymer trigger guard insert for weapon stabilization.If a customer wants to avoid all these considerations and a longer search, then he/she might decide to buy the slightly more advanced, commercial UM92 actually made by the Bianchi right away. It is not as inexpensive as a surplus M12 but certainly well worth the price, in my opinion. Unlike the M12 you can get the UM92 flap holster in either OD Green or Black color. I own UM92s, UM82s and M12s and can highly recommend them if you are looking for a great field/woods/open carry holster that can hold a wide variety of different pistols.
