Security Holster

A top draw security holster for a handgun having a trigger guard, wherein the security holster is oriented for wearing by a user and comprises:

• a holster body having a pair of opposing sidewalls, an open top, a back, and an at least partially closed and unopening front, wherein a holster cavity is defined in the holster body and one one of said sidewalls has a window adjacent to the back of the holster body;
• a latch having a flexible and resilient arm integrally connected to said one sidewall adjacent to the window and also having a boss integrally connected to the arm, wherein the arm, when in a relaxed state, extends outwardly from said one sidewall exteriorly of the holster cavity so that at least a portion of the boss is outside of but adjacent to the window;
• and
• a latch control means selectively movable between a released position and a latched position, where in the released position the arm is allowed by the latch control means to be in its relaxed state to permit insertion of the handgun into the holster cavity so that the trigger guard is adjacent to the window, and where in moving from the released position to the latched position the latch control means pushes the arm inwardly and the boss inwardly through the window to position the boss inside the trigger guard within the holster cavity so as to prevent drawing of the handgun from the holster cavity, and finally where movement of the latch control means from the latched position back to the released position returns the arm to its relaxed state to allow drawing of the handgun from the holster cavity in a straight and upward motion through the open top of the holster body.
