Model 82 CarryLok Auto Retention Belt Slide Holster

The Bianchi Model 82 CarryLok Auto Retention Belt Slide Holster is a combat-proven carry solution engineered for law enforcement and armed professionals who demand active retention without compromising draw speed. Purpose-built for officers transitioning from duty rigs to off-duty or plainclothes carry, this holster balances security against weapon stripping with the accessibility required in high-threat environments. The belt slide design positions the firearm close to the body, minimizing printing while maintaining a natural draw angle suitable for most body types and duty uniforms.

The Model 82's dual belt slots lock the holster firmly against the carrier's waistline, reducing movement and unwanted shift during dynamic activity—critical for officers operating in vehicles or during foot pursuits. The proprietary Auto Retention system secures the firearm passively upon holstering, eliminating the need for thumb breaks or additional manipulation, while the FingerLok retention device deploys a release lever activated by the middle finger during the draw stroke. This design allows efficient one-handed holstering on re-holster, a necessary feature during tactical reloads or transition to secondary weapons, and the stay-open construction prevents the holster from collapsing when the firearm is removed.

Law enforcement professionals, armed security personnel, and civilian carriers seeking active retention for concealed carry will find the Model 82 compatible with mid-size service pistols common in duty arsenals. The compact footprint—measuring 8.95 by 2.7 by 7.3 inches and weighing only 0.55 pounds—makes it suitable for inside-the-waistband or outside-the-waistband carry on standard duty belts or reinforced civilian belts rated for holster weight. Installation requires a belt up to 1.75 inches wide; the dual slot design accommodates standard uniform and civilian waistbands without modification. For officers upgrading from passive retention or transitioning to concealed carry, the Model 82 delivers the speed and security required in split-second engagement scenarios.
