ABSTRACT:
A thumb break type front opening holster employing a body of leather or leather-like material defining a holster retaining cavity having a top opening for insertion of the weapon into the holster and a front opening for removal of the weapon. The weapon is held in place by a strap secured to the outer side of the holster by a permanent but pivoted connection. The strap includes one-half of a snap fastener at its upper or free end designed to be engaged to a portion of the holster to hold the weapon in place. The mating half of the snap fastener is secured to a relatively rigid pivoted thumb break tab which is secured to the holster at an upper extremity. The thumb break tab is fashioned of leather or leather-like material and mounts the mating snap fastener half for the strap. Contained within the tab is a reinforcement member in the shape of an inverted U with outward extending legs extending laterally beyond the width tab. The legs are located within the belt loop opening of the holster extending through a slot therein. The legs of the reinforcement member are held spaced by the snap fastener.
