  • Publication number: 20140027485
    Abstract: A holster to support a handgun in a concealed position inside a wearer's trousers includes a holster body with side walls defining an opening to receive the handgun. Interior surfaces of the side walls have yieldable means thereon to engage and yieldably retain a portion of the handgun, when positioned within the holster body, against withdrawal forces below a predetermined magnitude. A tab arrangement includes a downward tab joined to the outer wall by a bight portion to suspend the holster from the trouser waistband. A wing member extends rearward of the holster body and cooperates with the exterior surface of the inner side wall to conform to the rear region of the hip of the wearer. Shaped portions of the holster body maintain a spaced relationship between the interior surface and contact-sensitive regions of a handgun such as a magazine release button, a sight, and so forth.
