A method that that prevents a holster from leaving a pants pocket as a gun in the holster is being drawn out from the holster, comprising the steps of:
- breaking retention of a gun in the holster by imposing a force from a collision by a distal end of an extension with the pants pocket;
- positioning the distal end of the extension beyond a periphery of to a mouth of the holster and spaced away from a muzzle of the gun in the holster by a distance exceeding that of a full length of the gun in the holster so as to provide a clearance distance that is sufficient for the gun to be drawn out of the holster unobstructed by the pants pocket;
- configuring the extension to have a shape that remains unchanged from the force of the collision and becomes neither deformed, collapsed, nor broken because of the force from the collision;
- and
- further comprising:
- providing the L-shape with a widening portion that widens as the widening portion extends toward the tapering portion of the stem and away from the arm.
