Abstract

Disclosed herein is a holster for pistols having an improved belt loop assembly. A pair of belt loop assemblies are connected to opposite sides of the gun receiving pocket. Each assembly has an inner piece of holster material containing a slot for the reception of a belt. An outer piece free of slots is joined to the inner piece at the top and bottom, defining a belt receiving opening on the outer edge in communication with the adjacent slot. A pin depends from the loop that fastens the pistol in the holster for locking shrouded revolvers in place.

Claims

1. A revolver holster comprising:

an outer and an inner piece of material;

each piece having lateral wings;

the holster having a belt-receiving slot extending only through each wing of the inner piece;

the pieces being joined together in overlying relationship intermediate, on the top, and on the bottom of the wings, defining a revolver-receiving pocket;

the pieces remaining unjoined at the lateral edges of the wings, defining belt-receiving openings;

whereby the holster is carried on a belt by passage of the belt through the openings and slots, with no portion of the belt being on the exterior side of the outer piece.

2. The revolver holster of claim 1 wherein the pieces are joined by stitches.

3. The revolver holster of claim 1 wherein the bottom of the belt-receiving slots and the belt-receiving openings are adjacent the bottom of the holster.

4. A revolver holster comprising:

an outer and an inner piece of material joined together in overlying relationship;

a belt-receiving slot adjacent each side edge of the inner piece;

the outer piece being free of slots;

the inner and outer piece being stitched together intermediate the slots, defining a revolver-receiving pocket, and on the top and bottom of the slots, but separated at the side edge defining a belt-receiving opening between the outer and inner pieces on each side in communication with its adjacent slot;

whereby a belt connected to the holster passes through one belt-receiving opening thence out one slot and into the other slot, thence out the other belt-receiving opening, thereby confining the belt to the inner side of the holster.

5. The revolver holster of claim 4 wherein the holster has a tab extending from its upper portion that is foldable and has a snap for fastening the revolver in the holster;
