ABSTRACT:
A holster for a handgun having a trigger guard is formed of material such as leather or the like which is folded upon itself to make a pocket with an opening at the top. A pair of openings are located on opposite sides of the pocket adjacent the position of the trigger guard when the handgun is in the pocket. A retainer member of low friction material having resilient arms and clamp members with inwardly extending projections is fastened in the holster such that the arms and clamp members extend through the openings. When the handgun is placed in the holster, the trigger guard pushes past the projections on the clamp members which then latch around the trigger guard securing the handgun in the holster. Various embodiments of trigger guard retainer latch each include a bracket structure which is movable either to a first position where the bracket prevents outward movement of the arms and clamp members to thereby prevent release of the trigger guard or to a second position where the bracket is moved away from the arms and clamp members to permit the trigger guard to be pulled through the clamp members. In two embodiments, the bracket is pivotally moved away from or toward the arms and in other embodiments a slide mechanism is movable to block or to permit movement of the arms and clamp members.
