ABSTRACT:
A restraining device in a holster has a rigid body portion and two upwardly extending oppositely facing wall members with a cavity in each and forming a channel receiving a handgun trigger guard, a pair of cam-shaped restraining members having two lobes and a pivot pin therebetween for movement on generally parallel axes within respective cavities. One lobe is spring biased to extend inwardly of channel when empty and pushed outwardly of channel when such guard is seated in channel; and the other lobe is retracted into its cavity when empty so trigger guard may pass between opposed lobes and extend inwardly of such guard when seated in channel. Forward handgun dislodgment is prevented and a vertical draw is needed when such pins are generally horizontal to overcome frictional handgun-holster contact to remove handgun above partially closed lower front. Restraining members, being caged within cavities, provide enhanced strength from handgun removal in the forward direction. When pivot pins are generally vertical, handgun must be slightly rotated forward so guard bottom passes pins and then withdrawn.
