Abstract: A handgun holster has detent features, preferably confronting detent jaws mounted on inside surfaces of the holster adapted to be displaced by the trigger guard of a handgun upon insertion of the handgun, then to move into engagement with the trigger guard to present detent force to resist handgun withdrawal. Substantial resistance is provided to withdrawal by an unauthorized person positioned in front of or to the rear of the person carrying the holster. Spacing between detent jaws may be provided by adjustable spacer mounting assemblies mounted between the holster sides.

Abstract: A front opening, front fast draw handgun holster whose side wall portions are adjustable toward one another to adjustably grip a handgun in the holster in order to prevent the gun from falling from the holster during strenuous physical activity of the wearer or being grabbed from the holster by another person and adjustable away from one another to release the gun for fast front draw as well as upward removal from the holster. A holster which is angularly adjustable relative to the wearer's body in such a way as to permit each wearer to adjust the holster to the best position.

Abstract: A holder for a telescoping police baton has a generally tubular body for receiving the baton endwise, either end first and with the baton contracted or extended, an annular shoulder within the lower end of the body which is engagable with the lower end of the outer baton section to support the baton vertically and through which the inner baton section may extend if the baton is placed in the holder in its extended configuration, and a cup-shaped cover which receives the upper end of the baton when housed in the holder in a manner which prevents an unauthorized person, such as an arrestee, from forcing the cover sideways and pulling the baton from the holder.

Abstract: A shoulder holster having right and left hand pairs of front and rear shoulder straps, rear neck and back straps joining the rear shoulder straps, upper fasteners joining the upper ends of each pair of straps, a handgun sheath or holder secured to the lower ends of one pair of shoulder straps, and lower fasteners joining the lower ends of the other pair of shoulder straps. The holster is worn with the shoulder straps extending over the wearer's shoulders to support the gun holder beneath one armpit of the wearer and position the lower ends of the other shoulder straps beneath the wearer's other armpit for holding handcuffs, if desired. The upper fasteners joining the upper shoulder strap ends, which preferably are Velcro fasteners, are releasible and adjustable to accommodate a range of wearer shoulder sizes.

Abstract: An easily drawn shoulder holster primarily intended to retain automatic handguns having upward, rearwardly extending hammer cover assemblies. The holster includes a folded, multilayer sheath with an inner layer of leather, an outer layer of leather and a central stiffening layer, preferably of metal. The sheath covers the body of the handgun including its hammer cover while allowing the butt pointed to the front, and the barrel pointed downwardly, to extend therefrom. A redundant spring extends across the front of the trigger guard of the handgun to urge the hammer cover assembly up into a downwardly facing, upper pocket in the sheath for retention of the handgun.
