Benefits of technology

The invention is an apparatus that makes it easier for users to release their firearm bolster from its holder without needing to unbuckle their belt. It also provides a way to attach and detach the firearm gelster quickly and easily using a sliding mechanism. The apparatus is designed to comfortably support a moderate load while still being convenient for the user to wear.

Problems solved by technology

However, one of the most crucial drawbacks of using this style of wearable belt accessory is removing the holster or accessory from the belt.
This leads to increasing the vulnerability of some problems and other misadventures.
Further, fixing the holster on the belt could be a bit cumbersome task as the wearer needs to hold up the pants and thread the belt through the loops and holster.
In the worst case, the pants might slide out of the user's grip and could be dropped on the floor, especially, if laden with heavy items in the pockets.
This could be very embarrassing in a public venue.
Furthermore, even worse, the handgun may drop and accidentally discharge, possibly injuring a bystander or the user.
Additionally, during heavy activity or if the weight of the firearm carried by a user is high, existing belts are prone to excessive wear and tear leading to failure of the belt.
This adds to the load exerted on the belt and is inconvenient to the user.
Few attempts have been made to resolve this issue by providing a belt holster.
However, the design of the belt is cumbersome and this requires T-nut and screws to fasten the holster on the belt.

Abstract

A belt attachment to support a firearm holster is disclosed. The belt attachment is configured to have a primary member comprising a first end and a second end to define a band of predefined length. The first end of the primary member is configured to have a plurality of holes and a buckle is attached to the second end of the primary member. A secondary member is fixedly attached to the primary member at a predetermined position, wherein the firearm holster is slidably attached via a free end of the second member.
