Handgun holster provided with a shutter safety lock

A safety holster for handguns comprising:

• a hollow body defined by two side walls joined together by a front wall and a rear wall, and adapted to receive said handgun through a top opening, said body defining a longitudinal direction substantially corresponding to the axis of the barrel of the handgun when housed in the body;
• a first locking device comprising locking means pivotally mounted on at least one of said side walls so that it is adapted to between two angularly spaced positions, a locking position where said locking means partially shuts from above the holster opening preventing the extraction of the handgun, and a release position in which the locking means clear said holster opening;
• elastic means for biasing the rotation of said locking means from said locking position to said release position;
• and
• a release device mounted in one of said side walls and comprising a thumb-actuated displaceable member for catching said locking means in said locking position and is slidable in the longitudinal direction, the actuation of said displaceable member in the longitudinal direction releasing said locking means allowing rotation from said locking position to said release position, wherein said locking means comprise a shutter pivotally connected to one of said side walls so as to swing about an axis (X) running along said longitudinal direction.
