A firearm holster system and methods of use are described herein for safely securing a firearm while providing visibility and quick access. A shroud is provided in the rough shape of the firearm. One or more magnets attached to the shroud create a retaining force between the firearm and the shroud. The magnets in combination with the back and side walls of the shroud, provide protection and security to the firearm. The user simply accesses the firearm in a grip section of the shroud to remove it from the holster assembly.

Example implementations relating to a deep concealment holster assembly are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, with unstructured clothing, such as without support of a separate waist belt, for example, without sacrificing holster's overall functionality and/or concealability.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for increasing the safety of a handgun. In certain implementations, the apparatus provides a safety device that includes a cover having an ejecting unit, a locking pin, and a releasing plate. The safety device is configured to cover both sides of a trigger guard of the handgun when the safety device is locked to the handgun. The releasing plate is coupled to the locking pin. The releasing plate is disposed on a surface of the safety device so as to be accessible by the user. Preferably, the releasing plate is activated by a user's finger. The releasing plate selectively disengages the locking pin from the trigger guard by movement of the user's finger. When engaged, the locking pin prevents the safety device from being removed from the handgun. When disengaged, the locking pin allows the safety device from being removed from the handgun. In certain embodiments, the ejection unit self-ejects the safety device from the handgun.

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 for a handgun that comprises a holster body with a handgun cavity for receiving and retaining the handgun by way of a obstructing member at the ejection port and at the rear portion of the handgun slide. Moreover, a single obscured push button actuates both mechanisms. An internal retention sleeve having an inverted U-shape is slidingly mounted within the holster body and movable between a first securement position and a second release position. The sleeve having an integral thumb button depressible downwardly whereby the sleeve moves downwardly within the body to release a ejection port stop catch and the latch hood. The sleeve biased toward a normal retention position, the handgun withdrawal obstructing member biased toward the normal retention position, the latch hood biased toward a release position but having a normal latched obstructing position until released by the sleeve.

A gun safe is provided that has components configured to releasably retain a handgun in the safe. The safe includes a gun ejector mechanism, a gun retaining mechanism, and an activator mechanism. The components positively mechanically secure the gun in a retained condition until the activator effects release of the gun, and then the ejector effects movement of the gun from a retained position to a user access position.

A locking holster having an at least partially locking element having at least one helix or helical protrusion that extends from at least a portion of the surface of the locking element. Alternatively, the locking element includes a helix or helical recess formed in at least a portion of the surface of the locking element.

A holster having a holster body; a locking element having a first helical portion defining a first helical ramp surface and a second helical portion defining a second helical ramp surface, wherein the locking element is at least rotatable between a locking element engaged position, wherein at least a portion of the locking projection portion of the locking element protrudes into an at least partial cavity portion of the holster and a locking element disengaged position, wherein at least a portion of the locking projection portion of the locking element is withdrawn from the at least partial cavity portion; and a release lever attached or coupled to a pushrod, and wherein as the release lever is urged toward the locking element, interaction between a first end of the pushrod and the second helical ramp surface causes the locking element to rotate toward the release lever disengaged position.

A holster has an outer wall system with a first side panel having a first top edge and a first bottom edge and a second side panel having a second top edge and a second bottom edge. The first top edge and the second top edge each comprise a plurality of top knuckles complementary and coupled to one another to form a top coupling structure. The first bottom edge and the second bottom edge each comprise a plurality of bottom knuckles complementary and coupled to one another to form a bottom coupling structure. A holster has a primary safety device and/or a secondary safety device. The primary safety device can be configured to directly retain a firearm in the holster unless moved to an open position. The secondary safety device can be configured to retain the primary safety device in a closed position unless disengaged.

A suit jacket comprising a holster paddle which contains a concealed weapon. The wearer of the jacket can remove the weapon quickly which allows the wearer the ability to better defend himself from an attacker. The suit jacket contains an interliner which is made of a strong yet lightweight material which secures the holster paddle and weapon to the suit jacket. The holster paddle and weapon can accommodate a wearer who is either right-handed or left-handed. Additionally, the holster paddle can be curved to the wearer's abdomen so that concealment of the weapon is greatly improved. The suit jacket also contains an ammunition paddle capable of holding additional clips of ammunition.
