Quick access to spare magazines can be the difference between a fast, clean reload and a fumbled one. For concealed carry and range work where compactness and reliable retention matter, a streamlined outside-the-waistband pouch that mounts securely is essential.

BIANCHI OPEN TOP is built around a heavyduty spring steel clip that locks to belts up to 1.75 in. (45 mm), holding the pouch just outside the waistband for immediate reach.

Design and materials

As a Magazine Holder constructed of full grain leather with a tan finish, the BIANCHI OPEN TOP balances durability and break-in comfort. Full grain leather resists abrasion and conforms over time to the magazine profile, while the heavy-duty spring steel clip provides positive retention to keep the pouch anchored during movement. The open-top design sacrifices a flap for speed—magazines seat quickly and extract without extra manipulation.

Fit, compatibility, and practical applications

The pouch lists compatibility with a wide range of service and compact pistols, including Browning BDA 940, Colt Commander and Gold Cup Government 1911 models, Detonics Combat Master, Ruger P90, Sig P220/P225, Springfield TRP Operator, Star, Kahr T40, Llama IXA, and several Smith & Wesson and Ruger models such as the 4506 and 5944. That breadth makes it a versatile choice for owners of classic 1911s and full-size service pistols who want a minimalist outside-the-waistband option.

Why those features matter

The spring steel clip is the key tactical advantage: it sits low-profile yet resists rotation and walk-out during drawing or daily activity. The 1.75 in. belt capacity (45 mm) means it will fit common duty belts and many sturdy civilian belts without modification. For shooters who favor fast index and reload drills at the range or a straightforward carry setup for training days, this Magazine Holder delivers consistent placement and easy access.

Retail price is $43.60, positioning the BIANCHI OPEN TOP as an affordable leather option compared with custom holster makers. View product details and pricing
