ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of this invention provides a holster for holding a hand gun. The holster includes a generally U-shaped mounting spring under stiff tension against the exterior inside face of the holster. The mounting spring has a U-shaped fastening portion that fits into a pocket on the inside face of the holster. A fastener extends through the side wall of the holster to secure the fastening portion of the spring to the holster. The holster can be worn without threading a belt through a belt loop on the holster. Instead, the mounting spring firmly but releasably clips the holster to the waistband of the user's trousers, or over the user's belt. The spring can be pulled away from the side of the holster against the bias of the spring to provide a gap for slipping the holster over the waistband or the belt, after which the spring is released, allowing the bias of the spring to clamp the holster firmly in place. The mounting spring has opposite legs extending alongside ridges formed on the inside face of the holster by a contour that matches the shape of the firearm. The legs of the spring therefore tightly clamp onto the user's clothing immediately next to and in line with the contour of the firearm, which tightly holds the holster in a fixed position. The invention also can be used on other similar carrying cases, such as a knife sheath, or any other device which can be clipped to not only a belt or waistband, but other articles, such as a boot or purse, for example.
