ABSTRACT:
A locking apparatus is adapted for locking a firearm or the like received in a holster, so that the firearm may not move appreciably while received in the holster and so that the firearm may be quickly withdrawn. The locking apparatus is particularly useful with speed holsters which provide minimal support for the weapon received therein. The preferred locking apparatus includes an activating member connected to a locking member. A suitable clamp or base member connects the activating and locking members to an inside surface of the holster. The locking apparatus is adapted to be positioned in an unlocked position in which the activating member extends generally transversely into the holster in position to be contacted as a firearm is inserted, and in which the locking member is retracted so as to lie generally adjacent an inner surface of the holster. Further, the locking apparatus is adapted to be moved to a locked position as a firearm is inserted into the holster, with the activating member displaced downwardly and the locking member extended into the holster so as to contact the firearm and retain it securely against a portion of the holster.
