Abstract
A holster which alternately may be worn as a shoulder holster under the armpit of the wearer with the weapon inverted or on a belt for front draw by either the right or left side. The holster employs a body which is folded to define a revolver pocket and a front opening held closed by a spring member. The spring includes a pair of legs which extend along opposite sides of the front opening and which spring legs extend up to the extreme corner of the holster body whereby the ends of the spring embrace and enclose the hammer of a revolver in the holster. The body includes two sets of generally arcuate openings defining two belt loops, one pair on each side of the holster. One ring for securement to a shoulder harness is retained by an integral extension of the body in the muzzle region. A second ring is secured to the body in the trigger guard region. Adjusting means for drawing the body sides together below the muzzle is employed.
