A container for a firearm or other valuable, which may be worn on a belt, comprising and enclosure having an interior volume and containing an opening in a surface thereof, a retractable cover for covering the opening when the retractable cover is in a non-retracted position, a firearm retaining mechanism disposed within the interior volume; a firearm extending mechanism disposed within the interior volume; and a releasable latch for maintaining the firearm extending mechanism in a retracted position. A user may manually retract the cover causing a firearm contained within the interior volume to be extended for easy access. Geolocation, status and other information may be communicated to a remote user through a wireless data link. A camera may be activated by retracting the cover were upon video data may be transmitted to a remote monitor. The container may be remotely locked or unlocked. The container may be a holster.

A storage system, comprising a body having a cavity therein configured to house one or more items, and an opening defined by the body and a panel configured to mate with the opening and prevent access to the cavity when the panel is in position; the system have a first level of security securing items stored in the cavity; a second level of security securing the body from a structure from which it is hung, and an third level of security disguising the storage system as a hanging piece of clothing.

Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a mounting dock to receive and to support an implement (such as a handgun, for example) or an implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example). The dock includes a substantially planar mount portion having two substantially planar surfaces opposite to each other and a plurality of side edges. The substantially planar mount portion includes an entry edge on a first side edge and a grip portion on a second side edge. The dock includes at least one hard mount base configured to temporarily or permanently couple the hard mount component to a selected surface in a variety of configurations.

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.

A firearm release apparatus comprises a carriage with a rail that supports an end block fixed to a proximal end of the rail and adapted to releasably nest with the hammer end of a handgun. At least one spring member joins the proximal end block to a distal block that is adapted to cup the barrel end of a handgun. The gap width between the proximal end block and the distal end block is adjustable because the distal block is movable away from or toward the proximal end block depending on the tension applied to the at least one spring member. A handgun is mountable between the end blocks. A spring exerts force against an end of the rail such that when triggered, the carriage is ejected from an enclosure and the handgun is presented to a user in a ready state where the handgun grip is circumferentially free of obstructions.

A magazine holster is a unitary body that includes an inner cavity configured to receive a magazine. A firearm holster that is a unitary body that includes an inner cavity configured to receive a firearm. The inner cavity includes a first end and a second end opposite of the first end. The holster includes a first opening into the inner cavity adjacent to the second end of the unitary body and a second opening into the inner cavity adjacent to the second end of the unitary body. The firearm holster includes an internal shoulder positioned within the inner cavity. The unitary body selectively retains a firearm positioned within the inner cavity as a force is applied to the firearm by the internal shoulder. The holster may be an elastomer, a thermoplastic elastomer, ethylene vinyl acetate, rubber, silicon, or a combination thereof. The holster may be comprised of ethyl vinyl acetate.

A holster for a handgun, having at least some of an at least partial cavity; a lever having a thumb button portion and an engagement portion, wherein the lever includes a locking projection extending from at least a portion of the engagement portion, wherein the lever is pivotally attached or coupled to at least a portion of the holster, approximately between the thumb button portion and the engagement portion; and a lockout element, wherein at least a portion of the lockout element is positionable to block movement of the lever to keep the lever from being pivoted to a disengaged position.

A holster for a handgun, having at least some of an at least partial cavity; a lever having a thumb button portion and an engagement portion, wherein the lever includes a locking projection extending from at least a portion of the engagement portion, wherein the lever is pivotally attached or coupled to at least a portion of the holster, approximately between the thumb button portion and the engagement portion; and a lockout element, wherein at least a portion of the lockout element is positionable to block movement of the lever to keep the lever from being pivoted to a disengaged position.

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 ⅜ 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 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.
