ABSTRACT:
A handgun holder and retention apparatus for use in combination with a handgun having a trigger and a trigger guard surrounding the trigger. A holster body defines a pocket for holding such handgun and includes a region of the body which encloses the trigger guard of the handgun when the handgun is positioned in the holster body. An opening is provided through the inner side of the holster body and a slot extending through the outer side of the holster body has an open top. A detent is provided for extending through the opening and through the trigger guard for preventing unauthorized access to the handgun. A leaf spring apparatus is attached to the bottom thereof to the inner side of the holster body below the opening and is connected to one end of the detent at the top thereof for biasing the detent into the opening and into the trigger guard on the handgun. A downwardly extending lip is disposed on the other end of said detent. A second biasing device is operatively connected to said holster body for biasing the handgun upwardly to cause the downwardly extending lip to be disposed on the outward side of the lower portion of said trigger guard whereby the detent cannot be readily pushed out of the trigger guard until the handgun is pushed downwardly.
