Abstract

Described herein are holster identification devices for attachment to a holster designed to carry another object, such as a weapon or firearm. The holster identification device can include an area where a user can attach identification such as a badge. The identification can be permanently attached or can be removably attached, such as using hook-and-loop fasteners. The device can be designed to snap-fit onto a holster, such as using two side portions designed to wrap around at least a portion of the holster to provide a snug fit. The frontside of the holster and the backside of the holster identification device can include complementary protrusions/indentations or male/female parts to help ensure a secure connection.
