ABSTRACT:
Reference numeral 10 generally indicates a firearm holding device. The holster 10 includes a principal support member 11 which comprises an elongate bar-like body 12 having an upper end 14 and a lower end 16. The upper end 14 defines a receiving formation 18 defined by laterally spaced sidewalls 18.1 and 18.2, an end wall 18.3 and a bottom wall 18.4 for releasably receiving a portion of a trigger guard 20 of a handgun 22. A resiliently deformable pawl 42 comprising a resiliently deformable lever 43 having a catch 44 at one end is provided in a recess 46 in the outer side 26 of the broader upper end 14 of the body 12. In the normal rest condition of the pawl 42 the catch 44 projects into the cavity 18. As the trigger guard 20 is pushed downwardly it engages with the catch 44 and displaces the pawl 42 outwardly to its tensed condition. After the trigger guard 20 has slid over the catch 44, the pawl 42 snaps back into position thereby retaining the handgun 22 in position in the holster 10. Withdrawal of the handgun 22 from the holster 10 causes the trigger guard 20 again to slide over the catch 44 and to displace the pawl 42 outwardly to its tensed condition in which the catch 44 is withdrawn from the channel 18, so that the handgun 22 is released when it is withdrawn from the holster 10.
