Abstract: A plastic clamshell holster comprising an elongated strap connected to the outer sidewall, spanning the upper end of a forward slot and including an end portion having a snap element adapted to engage a snap element on the inner sidewall adjacent the slot. A flap having a manually engageable tab for moving the flap outwardly of the holster is connected to the inner sidewall, biased inwardly adjacent the slot and includes an opening permitting the snap elements to interengage when the flap is positioned between the inner sidewall and the strap end portion. An elongated brace element located between rear portions of the sidewalls includes a stop portion for engaging a rear portion of a handgun trigger guard and a muzzle lock having an end portion for extending into a handgun muzzle. The holster is supported outwardly of the wearer by a mounting bracket which defines a clearing space therebetween permitting the flap to be moved away from the inner sidewall.
