1. A holster for handguns having a barrel and a trigger guard in which the handguns are held by the trigger guard comprising:
- a tubular assembly comprising;
an elongated first structure that functions as a left side wall having an outer surface an inner surface and a top end;
an elongated second structure that functions as a right side wall having an outer surface, an inner surface and a top end;
an elongated third structure that functions as a front wall having an outer surface, an inner surface and a top end; and
a fourth structure that functions as an elongated rear wall having an outer surface, an inner surface and a top end;
said top end of said fourth structure being downwardly displaced from said top end of said first structure and said top end of said second structure to from a recess for capturing a trigger guard of a handgun;
an elongated retention pin having an inner end, an outer end, surrounding side walls extending from said inner end to said outer end and a longitudinally extending X-axis; and
means for supporting said retention pin and reciprocally moving said retention pin into said recess for capturing a trigger guard of a handgun therein and preventing removal therefrom.

15. A holster for a handgun, said holster including components comprising strong, substantially rigid, injection molded inserts of a first synthetic material;
- said molded inserts having a top surface, a bottom surface and surrounding side surfaces;
at least part of said surfaces having an injection over-molded layer of a second synthetic material and assembled to form a finished handgun holster;
said over-mold material having a durometer hardness less than the hardness of said durometer hardness of said inserts;
said injection molded inserts constitutes substantially the strength of said components comprising finished handgun holster;
said first synthetic material and said second synthetic material being chemically compatible so that a chemical bond occurs between said injection molded insert and said over-mold layer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
