Holster, support and anchorage quick release system for guns that comprises left and right assembly parts configured to guide the gun when holstered, a trigger guard ratchet, a release button and a locking mechanism, wherein the left and right assembly parts configure a holster that is laterally opened where, once the gun is holstered, the muzzle and the full length of the barrel remain leaning outwards, the holstering of the gun activates the ratchet when yielding under the insertion of the trigger guard, locking the gun in the holster and the release of the gun is produced by the actuation on the locking mechanism and the release button, so that the drawing of the gun is performed perpendicularly to the barrel, allowing to aim from the very first instant of the release of the gun, avoiding unneeded movements and providing a shooter with more time.

A holster comprises a body defining a receptacle configures to receive a firearm having a slide with an ejection port. It has a movable lever operable to selectably move into and out of engagement with a surface associated with the ejection port. The lever is biased into a position on contact with the surface to prevent the extraction of the firearm in the absence of an application of force to the lever.

A process for making nanoparticles of biocompatible materials is described, wherein an aqueous reaction mixture comprising cerous ion, ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid, an oxidant, water, and optionally citric acid, is provided along with temperature conditions to directly form within the reaction mixture, a stable dispersion of cerium oxide nanoparticles. Biocompatible nanoparticles comprised of cerium oxide, ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid, and optionally citric acid, are described. An increase in catalase-like enzyme activity is demonstrated by cerium oxide nanoparticles prepared with citric acid and ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid.

A pistol mount assembly includes a clip body, a retaining body, a latch assembly and a locking cylinder. The clip body secures the retaining body to a person or object. The retaining body is optionally removable from the clip body and includes the latch assembly and the locking cylinder. At least one of the latch assembly and the locking cylinder pass within a trigger guard area of the firearm. The space between the trigger guard and the trigger is filled thereby preventing misfire. One or more latches or locking bolts are used to selectively overlap the trigger guard and/or trigger to prevent translation of the firearm off the retaining body. A two-tiered readiness function is realized through the pistol mount assembly. The assembly uses no holster but maintains effective securement of the firearm and is easily pulled at time of emergency.

A modular firearm holster safety retention. assembly is operable with a holster to prevent unauthorized extraction or accidental drop of a firearm from holster. The assembly comprises a saddle that receives the barrel of a firearm, and a pivot release arm that couples to the saddle to selectively restrict movement or release the firearm in the holster. The pivot release arm detachably couples to the saddle. The pivot release arm has a first end with a protruding locking nub that engages the ejection port of firearm to restrict movement thereof; and a second end that is urged away from the saddle to disengage the locking nub from the firearm ejection port to disengage firearm from saddle. The saddle and the pivot release arm have interlocking wedges that restrict forceful removal of the firearm from holster. The saddle has a pivot stop to prevent overleveraging of pivot release arm.

A holster includes a hip plate and a shroud mounted to the hip plate. The shroud includes a channel adapted to receive a slide of a firearm, a slide block extending into an open portion of the channel and configured to abut a muzzle end of the slide received in the channel to prevent forward movement of the slide, and a locking lug extending into the open portion of the channel and configured to engage a chamber of the slide to prevent movement of the slide.

A holster for a handgun having a trigger guard includes a holster body defining a chamber for receiving a portion of the handgun. The holster body has an entranceway enabling insertion of the gun into the holster and removal of the handgun from the holster chamber. The holster includes a blocking device separate from the holster body that helps to block movement of the handgun trigger guard relative to the holster body when the handgun is in the chamber. The blocking device is supported on the holster body for movement relative to the holster body between an open position and a blocking position. The blocking device has a tail portion that projects from the bottom wall in a direction away from the top wall when the blocking member is in the open position. The blocking device moves from the open position to the blocking position in response to insertion of a handgun through the entranceway into the chamber. The blocking device tail portion moves in a direction toward the holster top wall during movement of the blocking device from the open position to the blocking position.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a holster system that allows for quick and secure release of a weapon, while also allowing attachment to a wide variety of connectors. The holster system comprises a frame that interacts with and safeguards a weapon (e.g., a gun). The frame includes a fastener band that acts as a trigger guard and releasably secures the weapon to the holster. The frame further includes a barrel plug that acts as a vertical rest and stabilizer when the weapon is holstered, keeping the weapon secured. The frame cooperates with a spacer to allow attachment to a wide variety of connectors. The holster system enables the weapon to be securely maintained when not in use, yet available if needed by the user. The holster can be configured with an ambidextrous feature, allowing both left-hand and right-hand weapon draws.

A holster for concealing a laser-sighted handgun is provided. Advantageously, the holster fits lasers and handguns of many sizes. The holster may be readily attached to a belt around the waist or ankle. The holster is configured such that it is comfortable and such that a handgun is concealable with most usual movements of a user. For example, a handgun remains in substantially the same position within the holster when a user bends forward thereby remaining concealed.

A holster is disclosed specially adapted for a long weapon, the long weapon having a pistol grip and a magwell. The holster comprises two separate brackets, an upper bracket and a lower bracket, where both the upper and lower holster brackets are adapted to be supported by a tactical vest with moly webbing. The upper holster bracket is U-shaped and snaps over the pistol grip of the long weapon. A detent is located on the inner surfaces of the U-shaped bracket which engages a channel located on the faces of the pistol grip.

In another embodiment a post is attached to the holster that is adapted to engage a corresponding hole through the pistol grip of a weapon. The post has a spherical knob on the end opposite the holster wherein the knob snaps into a corresponding enlarged spherical section of the hole located through the pistol grip. A snap element including a spring biased button is embedded into the pistol grip wherein the snap element releasable engages the hemispherical bulb of the post.
