Benefits of technology
The invention is a locking mechanism for a self-loading holster with a slide bar that can be locked and released. The mechanism includes a connecting rod with a button and a geared rack, a pivoting latch, and a rotating pinion. The locking mechanism can be moved to a release position by pressing the button, where the connecting rod pushes the latch and the rack passes by a depression in the slide bar, allowing the slide bar to move freely. The mechanism also includes a flat portion on the pinion that prevents movement of the slide bar when the button is pressed. The invention also includes a barrel plug assembly for sealing the barrel of a pistol to prevent foreign materials from entering, and a mounting system for attaching the holster to a wearer or a duty belt. The technical effects of the invention include improved safety and reliability, as well as improved functionality and comfort for the user.
Problems solved by technology
Some of the holsters currently in use also restrict the positioning of the holster and pistol in a vertical position, parallel to the officer's body, and results in the holstered pistol to angle awkwardly outwards, away from the body.
This outward angling of the holstered pistol offers greater risk of potential contact of the loaded pistol with furniture or doorframes.

Embodiment Construction
[0036]With reference to FIG. 1a, the locking mechanism and mount described herein are for a self-loading holster, wherein the pistol can be loaded within the holster prior to being removed. With reference to FIG. 1a the self-loading holster is comprised of a holster body 10 and a slide bar 80 slidingly mounted therein. It also has a belt mount 120 attached to the slide bar 80, and a button 15 for releasing a locking mechanism and permitting the pistol 1 to be reloaded while within the holster 10, and removed from the holster 10. The slide bar 80, which is attached to the belt mount 120, engages with the slide (not shown) of an automatic pistol, and the pistol 1 (not shown) fits within the holster 10. When the pistol 1 grip and the holster 10 are pushed down and up again, the slide bar 80 and pistol 1 slide remain in position, and as a result the pistol 1 chambers a round of ammunition while in the holster.

A self-loading pistol holster has a locking mechanism for the slide consisting of a pinion protruding into a depression of the slide bar, preventing movement of the slide bar. As the spring-loaded button is pushed the geared pinion is rotated to reveal a flat portion to the depression, enabling movement of the slide bar. A spring-biased latch within the holster which holds the trigger guard of the pistol is also disengaged simultaneously on application of the button, releasing the pistol for removal from the holster. Within the holster is a rubber barrel plug which seals the pistol barrel while the pistol is in the holster. The holster is removably mounted on a bracket having upper and lower retention points by means of a lever lock unit, and the bracket may be attached to belt, vest or leg mounts.
