Abstract: A sling assembly includes first and second straps with a shoulder pad therebetween, the straps releasably attachable to a user's belt. A flexible strap extending from the sling assembly includes a female fastener for connection to a male fastener previously affixed to the shotgun or the like. The male fastener includes a post with flared head attached to a first Velcro® strap. A second Velcro® strap is affixed to the weapon's stock. Upon wrapping the first Velcro® strap about the stock, a releasable connection occurs between the Velcro® straps with the male fastener in extension from the stock. The male fastener is presented for releasable connection to the female fastener in rotation therebetween to preclude interference of the sling with functional manipulation of the gun. A locking mechanism further secures the connection of the male and female fasteners.

Abstract: A one-piece belt loop device of a relatively rigid material for use with a web of Velcro® fastener material includes a base having top and bottom edges with a pair of side edges extending therebetween. Recesses in the top and bottom edges provide guidelines for stitching the top and bottom edges of the base to the holster with the side edges free of the holster. The base thus presents a first loop for extension of a user's belt therethrough. A central housing presents upper and lower apertures with a raised central surface therebetween for attachment of a spring belt clipped thereto to clip the holster to the user's belt. A thumb break strap can be further extended between the apertures and has Velcro® material thereon releasably engageable with the underlying Velcro® material. The belt loop device enhances assembly and presents a reinforced belt attachment structure.
