ABSTRACT:
A holster supports a shotgun in an opened condition at a shooter's side. A pair of rods extend between front and rear walls. The rear wall has a tongue for mounting the holster proximate the shooter's waist. The walls are spaced to receive the pivotally connected barrel and stock portions of the shotgun therebetween so as to prevent the shotgun from sliding off the rods. The rods are spaced by a distance less than the distance between the breach sides of the forearm and the trigger guard of the shotgun in the closed condition and greater than the combined heights of the forearm and the trigger guard so that, when the barrel and stock portions are at rest on the rods, the weight of the barrel portion causes the breach side of the trigger guard to engage against the rod on which the stock portion rests so as to prevent forward rotation of the shotgun off the rods while the weight of the barrel portion prevents rearward rotation of the shogun off the rods. Sleeves can be mounted on the rods to increase the rod diameter to suit a specific shotgun and the angle between the barrel and the stock portions in the shotgun opened condition can be selected in the same manner. Preferably, the rods are spaced and of diameter such that the breach side of the barrel portion engages against the rod on which it rests so as to lock the shotgun in place on the rods.
