Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a holster that stops a firearm from being lost or taken out accidentally. This is done by a member that fits snugly around the firearm and prevents it from being pulled out of the holster. The member is on the inside of the holster and can be moved to release the firearm for withdrawal only when intended. The goal is to create a simple and affordable solution to prevent firearm accidents and improve safety.

Problems solved by technology

However, the easier it is to insert a firearm, the easier it is that the firearm can be dislodged and lost from its holster.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring first to FIG. 1, according to at least one aspect of the invention, there is shown a holster 100 for a handgun 10 including a barrel 12, a muzzle 14 opening to the front 16 of the handgun 10, a slide 18 including a rear portion 20 opposite the front 16, and a rear facing surface 22 at the rear portion 20. The handgun 10 is conventional, its components being described herein for the purpose of semantic reference.

[0014]The holster 100 comprises a receptacle 102 for receiving the handgun 10 in conventional manner. The receptacle 102 includes a distal end 104 and a proximal end 106. The receptacle 102 is configured to receive the handgun 10 in close cooperation therewith such that when the handgun 10 is fully inserted into the receptacle 102, the muzzle 14 proximate to the distal end 104.

[0015]An interference member 108 is flexibly fixed to receptacle 102 in a manner which, with the handgun 10 fully inserted in the receptacle 102, enables the interference member 108 to d...

Abstract

A holster having an interference member which entraps a handgun there within. The interference member is flexibly fixed to the holster, and is movable between an engaged position and a released position. The interference member interferes with a rear facing surface of the slide or rear sight of the handgun. The interference member presents an interfering surface to a rear facing surface of the handgun when the latter is fully inserted in the holster and the interference member is in the engaged position. The interference member is resiliently urged into the engaged position, and may be moved to the released position by thumb contact by the user when the user grips the handgun in a conventional manner.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to firearm holsters, and more particularly, to a holster adapted to prevent inadvertent withdrawal of a firearm from the holster.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Holsters are used to store firearms on the person of a user, and to maintain firearms at the ready. By its nature, a holster readily accepts a firearm inserted therein. However, the easier it is to insert a firearm, the easier it is that the firearm can be dislodged and lost from its holster. The field of firearms would benefit from a holster adapted to readily receive a firearm inserted therein, but which inhibits spontaneous or inadvertent loss of the firearm.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention addresses the above stated situation by providing a holster having a member which engages a firearm inserted into the holster by establishing interference in a direction of withdrawal of the firearm from the holster, thereby inhibiting inadvertent loss of the...
