Claims20
A deep concealment holster assembly comprising:
- a holster body comprising
- a front shell of substantially rigid material;
- a back shell of substantially rigid material attached to the front shell by first attachment means to define a compartment shaped for retainably securing an item;
- a substantially flexible pad comprising a generally flat panel attached by second attachment means to the holster body to face a wearer while the holster assembly is worn in the intended manner, wherein the substantially flexible pad is disposed over at least a portion of the back shell;
- and
- a belt assembly for detachably attaching the holster assembly to the wearer, the belt assembly comprising substantially flexible end segments secured to the holster body to allow the holster body to articulate in more than one dimension while the holster assembly is worn in the intended manner.
A deep concealment holster assembly for receiving and for withdrawing a handgun with one hand of a user, the holster assembly to be worn substantially at waist level of the user and to remain substantially static at the waist level during the withdrawing at least partially via engagement of a user's thumb against a thumb-pop element, the holster assembly being joined together via adjustable fastener means and comprising:
- a rigid holster comprising a united body with interior at least partially conforming to a shape of a particular handgun and capable of releasably retaining the handgun therein while substantially covering a handgun barrel, a handgun trigger, and a handgun trigger guard,
- the rigid holster further comprising the thumb-pop element positioned on the united body to be near the user's thumb while the user grips a grip of the handgun releasably retained in the rigid holster;
- a substantially flexible liner positioned at a back side of the holster that is against the waist level while the holster assembly is worn in the intended manner, the flexible liner being sufficiently large to cover an area of the back side of the holster to a substantial degree and having an edge that approximately matches an outline of the back side thereby allowing for comfortably carrying the handgun and for increased friction between the holster and a user's body;
- an adjustable waist-encircling belt for carrying the rigid holster and the substantially flexible liner, the belt having a pair of end portions of a substantially flexible material secured to at least the rigid holster, wherein the sections cooperate to conform to natural shapes of at least a portion of the rigid holster and at least a portion of the user's body thereby allowing the holster assembly to be worn with unstructured clothing while making the holster and the handgun releasably retained therein not readily visible.
