A holster for a handgun comprising a holster body made of a substantially rigid and non-pliable material and configured for securely receiving a handgun therein. The holster body comprising a holster cavity configured for securely accommodating and partially embracing portions of the handgun, and a retention arrangement comprising a left-side trigger guard member and a right-side trigger guard member facing one another and configured for snug fitting within the handgun's trigger guard. At least one of the trigger guard members is a hinged trigger guard member, pivotally secured to the holster body.

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 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.

The present disclosure relates to a holster, comprising a control component, wherein the holster is adapted to allow a user the option of drawing a weapon and an accessory attached to the weapon. Further disclosed herein is a holster, comprising a control component adapted to receive a handgun assembly comprising a handgun and a light accessory attached to the handgun, and further comprising one or more actuators, wherein the one or more actuators are capable of moving between a neutral position and an engaged position, as the handgun assembly is inserted into the holster, retained in the holster, or drawn from the holster. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the 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.

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.

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.

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.

Disclosed is a weapon retention device for retaining a weapon on the personal gear of a user. At the core of the weapon retention device is a “U” shaped clamp. The clamp provides a friction force around the frame of the weapon. The weapon retention device may have various secondary and tertiary retention mechanisms. In some embodiments, the weapon retention device may have components which surround the weapon and any sighting optic which may be attached. The components which surround the weapon and optic may provide protection and retention of the weapon.
