10. A method for using a holster with a pistol having a protuberance, the method comprising the steps of:
-
selectively positioning an obstruction in a first position outside of a protuberance slot of the holster; placing a front of a slide of a pistol against an interior face of a slide bearing stop of the shroud; pushing a handle of the pistol toward the slide bearing stop whereby a barrel of the pistol passes into a barrel hole of the slide bearing stop; pivoting the pistol about the slide bearing stop toward a top of the shroud, wherein the protuberance of the pistol is positioned within the protuberance slot of the shroud; releasing force on the handle allowing a recoil spring of the pistol to bias the handle toward a slide guard of the holster, wherein the protuberance of the pistol is slidably positioned in a receiving space adjacent the protuberance slot; and selectively positioning the obstruction in a second position within the protuberance slot to maintain the protuberance of the pistol within the receiving space. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
