Truncheon or automatic hand-gun holster - has leather sleeve with inner reinforcing element leaving front slot for rapid deployment

摘要

The holster comprises a sleeve (3,3') e.g. of leather which has an inner flexible reinforcing element shaped to leave an open slot (4) at the front of the holster. The weapon can be quickly removed through this slot. The holster is fitted onto a backing-piece (5) with slots (6) in it for a belt (7), and it can be attached by a single central rivet to allow pivoting. A longer holster, especially for a gun, can have a safety strap across the front which must be undone before the gun is ready for immediate use.
