A new line of competitive rigs for mounted shooters
Safariland® has announced the Kenda Lenseigne Signature Series, a line of mounted shooting rigs designed by world record holder Kenda Lenseigne for Bianchi Cowboy. The collection includes four performance-based rigs in a variety of distinctive materials and finishes including embossed snake print and real cow hair. “Kenda worked closely with Bianchi design engineers to come up with a holster line specifically manufactured for mounted shooting competition, and include key features that have helped her win competitions. The added design flair she brings to these premium models are sure to make them winners, in and out of the arena,” stated James Dawson, Category Director for the Bianchi brand. The belt is made from heavyweight full grain leather, and is a two-piece design featuring an elongated back support. It is available either straight or with a 1.5 inch drop front. What also sets these rigs apart from the competition is the unique use of inserts and materials not typically found on cowboy rigs; each model has a specialized look. The Smokechaser features Kenda’s personally selected snake print lambskin and floral design, while the lawman inspired Path Blazer features full grain basketweave inserts. The incredibly unique Cattle Driver includes real cow hair inserts on the holsters and belt in a choice of brown/white or black/white. Each holster is hand-fitted for Single Action Army revolvers with 3.5 inch or 4.75 inch barrels and is offered in both right and left hand models. Belts are available in even sizes 24–46 inches. Rigs can be purchased direct at bianchicowboy.com or holsters.com and are also available at select
