Holster with controllable resistance to draw

A controllable resistance to draw holster comprising:

• (a) a holster body comprising a piece of leather or leather-like material formed to define a handgun carrying cavity;
• (b) reinforcement means of greater resistance to deflection than said holster body and located on the inner side of the piece of leather or leather-like material;
• (c) spring means secured to said reinforcement means and including at least one free end;
• (d) said free end of spring means extendable inwardly toward said handgun cavity;
• and
• (e) adjusting means engaging free end of said spring to controllably deflect said spring means to reduce the size of said handgun cavity at least locally.

A controllable resistance to draw holster comprising:

• (a) a holster body comprising a piece of leather or leather-like material formed to define a handgun carrying cavity;
• (b) a liner for said body of leather or leather-like material;
• (c) reinforcement means of greater resistance to deflection than said holster body and liner combined defining the shape of the handgun cavity;
• (d) said reinforcement means located between said holster body and said liner;
• (e) spring means secured to said reinforcement and including at least one free end;
• (f) said free end extendable into said handgun cavity;
• (g) adjusting means engaging the free end of said spring controllably deflecting said spring member toward the handgun cavity to locally reduce the size thereof;
• (h) said free end being positioned to deflect said liner inward in a local area to provide local frictional pressure upon a handgun contained within said holster.
