Abstract

The invention provides a rigid plastic hand gun holster, comprising a rigid plastic holster having inner dimensions complementary to the configuration of the outer sections of a hand gun to be placed therein, wherein the holster is a product of injection molding.

Claims

1. A rigid plastic hand gun clip-on holster, comprising a rigid plastic holster having inner dimensions complementary to the configuration of the outer sections of a hand gun to be placed therein, wherein said holster is a product of injection molding and wherein said holster further comprises a retention member for mounting said holster on the upper rim of the user'"'"'s pants, wherein said retention member has a lateral step configuration along the longitudinal axis thereof, whereby said step forms a ledge that can underride a belt, and wherein the ledge of said step further comprises at least two spaced-apart upwardly extending flanges for hooking against the front surface of said belt, whereby said holster and said flanges are located forwardly at the front side of said belt thereby enabling said belt to act as stop means preventing upward movement of said holster, while allowing the quick draw of a gun therefrom.

2. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said holster comprises two rigid plastic panels.

3. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 2, wherein the cross-section of at least a segment of each of said panels is of substantially U-shaped configuration.

4. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 2, wherein said panels are connected by means selected from the group consisting of rivets and glue.

5. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 2, wherein said panels are connected by the application of ultrasonic welding thereto.

6. A rigid plastic gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said flanges form a pair of spaced-apart hooks.

7. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said retention member is made of rigid plastic.

8. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said retention member is connected to said holster by means selected from the group consisting of rivets and glue.

9. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said retention member is connected to said holster through the application of ultrasound thereto.

10. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein the cross-section of at least a segment of said holster is substantially rectangular.

11. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said holster is custom-made to match the configuration of the outer sections of a specific hand gun model.

12. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 2, wherein at least one of said panels is provided with an indentation corresponding to the position of an opening of a trigger-guard of a handgun positioned therein, whereby said indentation releasably interlocks with said trigger guard to form a snap-fit therewith.

13. A rigid plastic hand gun holster according to claim 1, wherein said retention member is connected to said holster by glue.

14. A rigid plastic clip-on holster for holding a magazine for an automatic hand-gun, comprising a rigid plastic holster having inner dimensions complementary to the configuration of the outer sections of a magazine to be placed therein, wherein said holster is a product of injection molding and wherein said holster further comprises a retention member for mounting said holster on the upper rim of the user'"'"'s pants, wherein said retention member has a lateral concave configuration complimentary to the convex configuration of said user'"'"'s hip and wherein said retention member has a lateral step configuration along the longitudinal axis thereof, whereby said step forms a ledge that can underride a belt and wherein the ledge of said step further comprises at least two spaced-apart upwardly extending flanges for hooking against the front surface of said belt whereby said holster and said flanges are located forwardly at the front side of said belt thereby enabling said belt to act as stop means preventing upward movement of said holster, while allowing the quick withdrawal of a magazine therefrom.

15. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 14, wherein said magazine holster comprises two rigid plastic panels.

16. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 15, wherein said panels are connected by means selected from the group consisting of rivets and glue.

17. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 15, wherein said panels are connected by the application of ultrasonic welding thereto.

18. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 14, wherein said retention member is made of rigid plastic.

19. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 14, wherein said retention member is connected to said holster by means selected from the group consisting of rivets and glue.

20. A rigid plastic holster for holding a magazine according to claim 14, wherein said retention member is connected to said holster through the application of ultrasonic welding thereto.
