Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for a pistol stabilizer. The pistol stabilizer includes a shoulder stock for contacting a shooter's shoulder, a horizontal stabilizer connected to the shoulder stock, and a quick-draw holster for precisely and removably retaining the pistol. The holster is coupled with the horizontal stabilizer by way of a notched shaft that enables adjusting the overall length of the pistol stabilizer to accommodate the arm lengths of different shooters. The holster mates with an illumination system attached to the pistol rather than attaching directly to the pistol. The holster includes a lock switch and a pistol release. The pistol release allows the pistol to be removed from the holster while the lock switch enables locking the pistol in the holster. The holster includes a safety mechanism that ensures that the pistol stabilizer can only be used with specific illumination systems.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a holster, comprising a control component, wherein the holster is adapted to allow a user the option of drawing a weapon and an accessory attached to the weapon. Further disclosed herein is a holster, comprising a control component adapted to receive a handgun assembly comprising a handgun and a light accessory attached to the handgun, and further comprising one or more actuators, wherein the one or more actuators are capable of moving between a neutral position and an engaged position, as the handgun assembly is inserted into the holster, retained in the holster, or drawn from the holster. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the holster.
