Abstract: A multi-configurable headset support apparatus is provided, having at least one earcup having front-facing and rear-facing posts. First and second suspension wires and a helmet mount are each provided with loops at opposite ends that are attachable to the earcup posts. A support band is securable to the suspension wires. When the first suspension wire is attached to the posts and the support band is secured to the first suspension wire, the support band is attached in an upward configuration atop a wearer's head. When the second suspension wire is attached to the posts and the support band is secured to the second suspension wire, the support band is attached in a rearward configuration on the back of the wearer's head. The posts are preferably retractably spring-biased into the earcup; the spring force secures the loop disposed on the post shaft against the earcup via the post head.

Abstract: A holster, for a pistol that has a top portion and that has a bottom portion including a trigger guard, includes a holster body having a top portion and a bottom portion fixed in position relative to the top portion.

Abstract: A holster for a handgun having a trigger guard includes a holster body defining a chamber for receiving a portion of the handgun. The holster body has an entranceway enabling insertion of the gun into the holster and removal of the handgun from the holster chamber. The holster includes a blocking device separate from the holster body that helps to block movement of the handgun trigger guard relative to the holster body when the handgun is in the chamber. The blocking device is supported on the holster body for movement relative to the holster body between an open position and a blocking position. The blocking device has a tail portion that projects from the bottom wall in a direction away from the top wall when the blocking member is in the open position. The blocking device moves from the open position to the blocking position in response to insertion of a handgun through the entranceway into the chamber.

Abstract: A holster support assembly for use by a user wearing a belt is adjustable for both drop and cant. The assembly includes a belt support that engages and is supported by the user's belt, the belt support defining a plurality of drop positions spaced apart along the track to enable the user to set the drop position of the holster. The assembly also includes a holster mount supported on the belt support for sliding movement relative to the belt support, the holster mount configured for supporting a holster. The holster mount has a first condition in which the holster mount is engaged with the belt support thereby blocking rotation of the holster mount relative to the belt support, and is selectively movable into a second condition in which the holster mount is rotatable relative to the belt support about an axis to enable the user to set the cant position of the holster relative to the belt support.

Abstract: An earcup suspension assembly is configured for connection with a rail on a helmet and for supporting an earcup over the user's ear. The assembly includes a rail connector configured for connection to the rail thereby to support the earcup suspension assembly on the rail, and an earcup suspension arm extending from the rail connector. The rail connector has a locked condition blocking rotation of the earcup suspension arm relative to the rail and an unlocked condition enabling rotation of the earcup suspension arm relative to the rail. The rail connector moves from the locked condition to the unlocked condition in response to movement of the earcup in a direction away from the user's ear.
