A loop-forming portion for receiving a belt or the like is formed from an extension of the back wall and has a lower free end joined to the back wall with stitching. The second piece of material is a retaining strap having a first end joined to a front wall of the holster and a second end received in a series of elongated, parallel slots formed in the loop-forming portion. The second end of the retaining strap can be inserted in different slots to provide an adjustment thereof.
