  • Publication number: 20050127121
    Abstract: A quick release holster includes a holding member for receiving an object like a firearm. A paddle is coupled to the planar member for insertion inside a user's trousers. A retaining member extends from the holding member towards the paddle. The holding member, paddle and retaining member form a closed loop, as the paddle is preloaded in a cantilever fashion against the retaining member. The retaining member is essentially perpendicular with the holding member, and includes a frictional component, like a rubber grommet for example. To put the holster on, the user slides a portion of the paddle inside the trousers, and then gently pulls on the holding member to separate the retaining member from the paddle. The invention offers advantages over the prior art in that the retaining member is on the outside of the user's trousers, thereby enabling the user to put on and take off the holster without undoing the belt.
