A retainer for holding a holstered handgun to a surface, such as a wall, under a shelf, or the like, the retainer comprising a bracket, formed having upper and lower legs, and being integrally bent at one end, so that the legs may extend generally parallel with respect to each other, for approximately equivalent lengths, and with the curvature of the bend being sufficient to provide adequate clearance within the bracket for retention of the strap of a holster therein. The legs of the bracket may be grooved, to provide inherent reinforcement and strength to it, during usage. The opposite or free ends of each leg are bent, to initially form shoulders against which the strap of the holster may encounter, so as to prevent its untimely release, while at the same time these bends contact each other, under a spring bias, to assure that the bracket remains closed, for retention of the holster thereto, when stowed. The lower leg, beyond its free end being bent, and provides an extension for resting against the surface to which the bracket is secured. The upper leg, beyond its bend, includes a flared flange, which functions as a guide to facilitate the insertion of the srap of a holster thereon, and for sliding therethrough, when the holster is installed, for stowage, or to facilitate gripping and raising of the leg, to furnish an opening therebetween, to ease the removal of the holster from the retainer, when the revolver is desired for usage.
