Abstract

This invention relates to a special handgun holster that is capable of concealing a handgun on a person who is wearing only walking shorts and no shirt. Concealing the handgun is accomplished by enveloping the grip end of the handgun inside a pouch that appears to be a large truckers wallet protruding slightly from the pants pocket or walking shorts pocket and camouflaging the muzzle end of the handgun in the lower part of the front pants pocket or walking shorts pocket by adding a block of material to break up the outline of the handgun. In addition a metal bar is placed through the pouch to keep the handgun securely in the pants or walking shorts pocket and to position the pouch around the handgun grip.

Claims

1. A concealment holster for a handgun which is held in the opening of a front pants pocket designed to appear as a truckers wallet, said holster including two generally flat side surfaces joined by a rounded side portion defining a pouch sized to fit about the grip handle of said handgun, the pouch being joined at the upper end and having a configuration which appears to be a truckers wallet, a metal bar inserted vertically in said pouch, the metal bar being fastened to said rounded side portion and including a hook at the lower end of the metal bar and a wallet chain mounted to said bar at the upper end of the pouch, and shaping means for placement in the pants pocket for conforming the pocket to substantially conceal and camouflage the shape of the lower end of the handgun.

2. A holster as in claim 1 with the said shaping means formed by one appropriatly shaped object with a sufficient thickness to transfer the outline of the handgun out to the larger outline of the said object in front of the handgun barrel in order to conceal and camouflage the shape of the lower end of the handgun.
