A pouch for carrying a concealed handgun includes a compartment for rapidly accessing extra ammunition. The bag resembles a normal small bag conventionally worn on a user's belt, but is designed to securely hold a handgun and allow rapid employment of the handgun. The ammunition compartment is virtually totally concealed and drops a magazine for a semi-automatic handgun or a rapid reloading apparatus for a revolver directly into the palm of a user's hand.

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 for receiving and withdrawing a handgun has a proximal wall portion with a handgun retention mechanism thereon. The mechanism having a first lever with a tab portion for actuation and release of a trigger guard, the lever having a snap fit into a lever region without a separate pin. A belt engaging member covers the lever region capturing the first lever therein. If a second retention mechanism is used, another lever with a tab portion is positioned so the tabs are stacked, depressing one also depresses the tab behind it, such that both mechanisms are released. Overmolded polymer layers in the holster body provides a softer interior handgun engagement surfaces. The holster body is split forwardly with a threaded fastener for clamping onto the handgun. No holster body is beneath or rearward of the tab portion, configured as a thumb button, allowing smooth transition to gripping the handgun. Accessories for the holster or belt engaging members are also provided which include a leg strap adapter that is rotatable and height-adjustable with a leg strap, a red dot sight dust cover that can be incorporated with the holster and a quick detach system that can allow for quick attachment and detachment of a holster.

Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a belt for an implement holster comprising multiple stacked layers, including reinforcement layers enclosed within outer layers of the belt. The construction of the belt allows the belt to be worn with garments that do not necessarily include belt loops, such as active wear and women's formal wear. An implement holster may be coupled to the belt, using one or more clip loops, to form an active carry holster assembly.

An adapter assembly comprising an adapter plate and a retainer. The adapter plate comprises a substantially planar adapter body, a spaced pair of generally parallel upper for removably securing said adapter assembly to equipment, and a spaced pair of lower legs having a spaced pair of lower tines configured to have a gap there between, wherein the lower tines each comprise a ratchet tooth structure on an exterior surface thereof. The retainer is configured for slideable attachment to the lower tines and for spanning the gap between the lower tines, the retainer comprising a corresponding ratchet tooth on an interior surface thereof configured to engage with the ratchet tooth structure for a one-way slideable locking engagement of the retainer on the lower tines.

A holster for receiving and withdrawing a handgun having two active restraints and a dust cover. The holster further has a lockout button assembly comprising an elongated member having a lockout button portion on a proximal end and a blocking portion on a distal end, wherein the lockout button assembly is configured to be slidingly mounted to a housing for manual movement of the lockout button assembly between a protrusion portion blocking position and a protrusion portion non-blocking position, wherein the blocking portion is configured to block rotation of the protrusion portion and the thumb button when in the blocking position, and wherein the blocking portion is configured to allow rotation of the protrusion portion and the thumb button when in the non-blocking position.

Load carriage systems are described including one or more of a first chest panel, a first back panel, and a self-adjusting cummerbund connecting the first chest panel and the first back panel. The self-adjusting cummerbund may include a tensioning mechanism configured to allow the cummerbund to extend and retract, and may be configured to provide varying resistive force. The tensioning mechanism may include one or more of a sliding portion, a continuous patterned length of material that is folded over itself, and an elastic member that is attached to the sliding member and the length of material. Body armor plates may be held between outer and inner chest panels and/or between outer and inner back panels. A strip of webbing may be used to secure the body armor plate between the outer and inner panels.

Quick release assembly comprises a bag and a material organizer. The bag defines an opening flap and a fastener. The fastener includes a first fastening element provided on the opening flap and a second fastening element provided on a side wall of the bag. The second fastening element removably couples with the first fastening element. The material organizer is received within the bag and defines a pull tab that extends from the material organizer to outside of the bag. The pull tab defines an aperture sized for the first fastening element to pass therethrough for detachably coupling with the second fastening element to form a closed configuration of the bag, thereby securing the material organizer within the bag. Pulling the pull tab detaches the coupling between the first and second fastening elements.

An article of clothing comprises a waistband configured to secure and carry at least one object on a wearer's waist. The waistband includes a first portion configured to form a circumferential waist part of the article of clothing and include at least a first channel and a second channel, the first channel having an elastic band therethrough, and the second channel having drawstrings therethrough. The waistband also includes a second portion configured to include a plurality of belt loops evenly spaced and positioned along the first portion of the waistband, wherein the plurality of belt loops are configured to receive a belt assembly therethrough.
