Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide locking systems and/or retention mechanisms for an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example). Additionally, an implement holster having one or more locking systems and/or retention mechanisms is also described. Locking systems and retention mechanisms may be used individually with a holster or combined for multi-level security of the implement. The one or more locking systems can provide obstruction to the removal of the implement from the holster until intentionally unlocked by the user. Locking systems include hood locks, ejection port locks, and sight covers. Adjustable retention mechanisms can provide a desired retention of the implement while holstered, retaining the implement until a sufficient force is applied to remove the implement.

A holster system for receiving and releasably retaining a handgun with or without a reflex sight mounted thereon. The holster body comprises a pair of opposing side wall portions and an upper wall portion. The holster body may define a rear accessory sight opening for receiving the handgun with the reflex sight attached thereto. The holster system may include a first rear sight cover selectively and robustly coupleable to the holster body so as to cover the rear accessory sight opening when a handgun with conventional sights extending upwardly about 3/8 of an inch or less mounted thereto is used in conjunction with the holster system. The holster system may also include a second rear sight cover selectively coupleable to the holster body so as to cover the sight opening when a handgun with a reflex sight mounted thereto is used in conjunction with the holster system.

A holster attachment comprising a deformable member configured to be attached adjacent to the trigger guard of an inside-the-waistband holster for the purpose of positioning a handgun grip towards a user's body.

A trigger guard stabilizer for a holster provides trigger guard side-to-side support. Because the trigger guard stabilizer is spring-loaded, and can be depressed into a receiving pocket, it automatically moves downward out of the way if a taller light passes over the stabilizer top during a holstering action. Once the light has passed over the stabilizer, the stabilizer springs back into a position with portions that extend on either side of the trigger guard. This helps to hold the trigger guard centered laterally in the holster, thus impeding unwanted access to the trigger.

A firearm holster for securely enclosing a firearm is provided. A spring biased triggering lever is pivotally secured to the holster. A slider attached to the firearm holster slides on the slider base from a locked position to an unlocked position upon pressing the triggering lever. A spring-biased resettable drop lock is pivotally connected to a resettable drop lock mount attached to the holster and extends into an ejection port of a firearm secured in the firearm holster. The resettable drop lock pivots out of the ejection port of the firearm in the firearm holster by contact with the slider as the slider moves from a locked position into an unlocked position. A secondary lock includes a helical lock shaft disposed within a secondary lock body and extends from the lock body to rotate a secondary lock from a locked position to an unlocked position.

A footwear for carrying a firearm includes an upper and a holster. The upper defines a cavity adapted to receive a foot. The holster is integrally formed with the upper. The holster is adapted to receive the firearm. The holster has a configuration specific to stabilizing the firearm within the holster and to the upper.

Holsters for a pistol have a body defining a receptacle configured to removably receive in a holstered condition a pistol with an illuminator device, the body when oriented for use having an open upper end from which the grip extends when in the holstered condition, the receptacle having a forward surface associated with the slide, the receptacle having a trigger guard space defined by a trigger guard support portion of the body, the receptacle having an illuminator space below the trigger guard and aft of a lower portion of the forward surface and configured to receive the illuminator device, and the forward surface of the receptacle having a relief space configured to receive the top surface of the slide adjacent to the muzzle end when the pistol is rotated while moved between an unholstered condition and the holstered condition such that the illuminator device clears the trigger guard support portion.

A firearm retention mechanism is provided for a holster. The device comprises first and second arms that each have a first end and a second end, outwardly extending retention elements and trigger guard stops, and a fastener which connects the first and second arms so that they define an open top, with the retention elements and trigger guard stops facing one another, the trigger guard stops located below the retention elements. The arms are connected to sides of the holster with the open top facing upwardly to receive a trigger guard of the firearm, which is then pressed between the retention elements.

A biometric safety holster apparatus for preventing a firearm from being drawn by unwanted persons includes a holster body to receive a firearm while exposing a handle of the firearm above a body top side. A clip is coupled to the holster body to selectively engage a belt or a waistband. An actuator rod is coupled within a body inside to extend through a trigger guard of the firearm when a retractable portion is extended to prevent the firearm from being drawn from the holster body. A battery is coupled to the holster body and is in operational communication with the actuator rod. A biometric fingerprint reader is coupled to the holster body and is in operational communication with the actuator rod to retract the retractable portion and free the firearm.
