Concealment Holster for a Weapon

Abstract

Disclosed is a specialized holster design and system. The holster disclosed herein is intended to be used by an individual to carry a handgun on his or her person in such a way that the weapon may be partially or completely out of view, securely in place yet immediately available to be drawn from the holster when needed. The holster is variable in ways that also allow the user to make adjustments for comfort and tactical preferences. Once the weapon is drawn the holster remains open allowing one handed re-holstering. Among other attributes, four key features enable in part its broad ranges of functions. These four are the unique outer coating, the retention qualities, fold out attachment tab, and the particularly angled clip. The design enables a novel lightweight holster form fitted to the weapon and maintained securely in place firmly against the user's body in a concealed manner.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS & CONTINUITY DATA[0001]This application claims the benefit of provisional application 61 / 720,941 filed Oct. 31, 2012, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]N / AREFERENCE TO SEQUENTIAL LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING APPENDIX SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC[0003]N / A[0004]1. Background of the Invention[0005]Concealed carry of a handgun requires that the user be able to carry from different positions, maintain security in retaining the weapon and provide the ability to draw the weapon quickly when needed. Other holsters are too bulky and do not conceal properly, lack sufficient positional adjustment, do not allow for the proper firing grip on the weapon prior to the draw, are difficult to put on and take off, lack a necessary range of tension adjustment for retaining the weapon, do not remain open for one handed re-holstering, move around during active use,...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The holsters integrated, laminated non-slip outer coating and construction improves comfort and reduces carry position movement by aiding in the secure placement of the rig during activity via the exterior material texture. While held in place on the user's person, the holster further possesses unique retention qualities, carried out by the form fitting geometry of the holster's molded body in relation to the weapon shape, combined with its secure permanent closure point and its tension adjustment mechanism (FIGS. 1-3 show specific embodiments containing these elements). These parameters are unique in their combination as they relate to each specific weapon. This allows a constant secure fit of the holster to the weapon while still allowing a range of adjustment thereby varying the holsters retentive qualities without a reduction in secur
