1. A belt holster, comprising:
- an outer face having outward and inward facing surfaces, and upper, lower and two side edges;
an inner face having outward and inward facing surfaces, and upper, lower and two side edges, said inner face being connected to said outer face, said outer and inner faces being spaced along portions thereof to form a gap therebetween for receipt of a weapon;
a first opening provided at said upper edges of said outer and inner faces, said first opening being adapted to receive the weapon;
a second opening provided at said lower edges of said outer and inner faces, said second opening being adapted to receive one of a revolver'"'"'s barrel and a semi-automatic weapon'"'"'s forwardmost slide portion;
two slots in said outer face, each of said outer face slots being provided adjacent to one of said outer face side edges;
two slots in said inner face, each of said inner face slots being provided adjacent to one of said inner face side edges;
said outer face slots and inner face slots cooperating to receive a belt passing in a belt direction through one of said two outer face slots and an adjacent one of said two inner face slots, said belt extending along the inward facing surface of said inner face and through the other of said two inner face slots and the adjacent other of said two outer face slots; and

Abstract
Weapon holsters of substantially stitchless, one-piece construction provide tension on the surface of weapons held therein. The holsters further facilitate release of weapons held therein for quick removal by the holster wearers. Shoulder, pocket and belt holsters are provided, each holster being constructed so as to facilitate concealment of a weapon held therein. The shoulder holster comprises outer and inner faces which define openings for receipt of a weapon. The weapon'"'"'s barrel or forwardmost slide portion, grip and hammerspur or grip tang protrude from different openings, the weapon'"'"'s barrel or forwardmost slide portion pointing in an upward direction and the weapon grip pointing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upward direction. As the weapon grip is held and pivoted by the holster wearer, the corresponding pivoting of the barrel or forwardmost slide portion causes separation of portions of the outer and inner faces to enable release of the weapon. The pocket holster comprises outer and inner faces which define an upper opening through which a weapon is inserted into the holster and a lower opening through which a weapon'"'"'s barrel or forwardmost slide portion extends. The inner face which faces the wearer'"'"'s body comprises at least one arm. An upper edge of the arm defines a rest upon which a face of a weapon cylinder or a front strap of a trigger guard sits. The belt holster comprises outer and inner faces defining upper and lower openings for receipt of a weapon, the weapon'"'"'s barrel or forwardmost slide portion extending through the lower opening. Slots are provided in the outer and inner faces for receipt of a belt. The faces cooperate to cause friction between the holster and belt to provide constant tension on the weapon surface.
