ABSTRACT:
A holster incorporating a spring locking member which engages a portion of a handgun to provide a physical restraint upon the holstering or drawing of the handgun to prevent inadvertent removal of the weapon or accidental loss of the handgun when the user is in strenuous movement. The spring locking member includes a leaf spring secured to the body of the holster at one end carrying at its other end a protruding head having tapered surfaces which will enter and obstruct a portion of the trigger guard region. The protruding head is not of sufficient size to contact the trigger when the handgun is fully home e.g. bottomed out in the holster. The spring member has sufficient resistance to deflection such that the weight of the handgun plus any acceleration due to strenuous activity of the user is insufficient to cause the weapon to be dislodged. The resistance to bending of the spring member however is selectd so that the normal or slightly increased withdrawal pressure by the user's hand on the gun butt is sufficient to deflect the spring and protuding head and to allow the hand gun to be removed without the use of the trigger finger.
