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.
Holster with Rotatable Ejection Port Locking Element
A holster defining an at least partial holster cavity; and a release lever pivotably attached or coupled to the holster body and repeatably pivotable between a retention position and a release position, and wherein the release lever is capable of being pivoted to the release position when a pivoting force is applied to the release lever, wherein if the release lever is in the retention position, at least a portion of a handgun locking portion of the release lever is positioned so as to protrude into a portion of the holster cavity a sufficient distance to engage at least a portion of an ejection port of an inserted handgun, and wherein if the release lever in the release position, the handgun locking portion is withdrawn from the holster cavity to disengage from the ejection port of the handgun.
Duty Holster
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.

An exemplary holster system may include an attachment component configured to be secured on a user; a firearm holster configured to hold a firearm; and a holster adapter operatively coupling the firearm holster and the attachment component. The holster adapter may be configured for one-handed repositioning of the firearm holster relative to the attachment component along an arcuate path between a first position and a second position while the holster system is worn by the user. The first position may include a first location and a first orientation, and the second position may include a second location, different from the first location, and a second orientation, different from the first orientation.
NON-MECHANICAL THUMB RETENTION-AND-RELEASE SECURITY FEATURE FOR A GUN HOLSTER
This gun holster features a unique security design comprising of a dual retention locking system which includes a non-mechanical thumb retention-and-release system along with a non-mechanical friction engaged trigger guard locking safety feature. The holster is made of a moldable thermoplastic material or any other plastic which allows the non-mechanical thumb retention-and-release system and the friction engaged trigger guard locking safety feature to be customized to each firearm. The dual retention system with no moving parts allows the gun to be released by the owner due to the action that can only be taken by the person wearing the holster due to the positioning of these security features. The unique design of the holster along with the non-mechanical dual retention locking system allows for optimal security of a firearm preventing an accidental or unauthorized extraction of a weapon.
Retaining mechanism for a holster
A retaining mechanism for a holster includes a body (18) mountable to or integral with a holster, and a hood unit (40) rotatably mounted to the body. The hood unit configured for rotation about a first axis between a retaining condition in which it overlies a service item in the holster to prevent its withdrawal and a retracted condition in which the service item can be withdrawn. A hand-operable lever assembly (60) is rotatably mounted to the body and configured for rotation about a second axis. The lever assembly is operably engageable with the hood unit whereby rotation of the lever assembly effects rotation of the hood unit to its retracted condition and vice versa. The lever assembly includes a first, deflectable, portion (70) and a separate second, depressible, portion (80). These first and second portions are respectively selectively deflectable and depressible against respective first and second restoring bias forces to disengage the lever assembly from a lock formation (128) configured to lock the lever assembly against rotation and thereby the hood unit against rotation to its retracted condition. Also disclosed is a blocking element (160) moveable from a position in which it impedes or obstructs the lever assembly. In another aspect, a portion (150) of the lever assembly is releasable restrained between a portion (128) of the hood unit and a portion (110) of the body.
