  • This Invention relates to fire-arms. More particularly, it relates to a holster arrangement. It further relates to a holster and to a holster adaptor.
  • a holster arrangement which includes:
  • the term "muzzle” is to be interpreted relatively broadly to include the front portion of a firearm including the slide, barrel and front part of the frame.
  • the trigger guard receiving region may be generally channel shaped in cross-section and the holster arrangement may include a trigger guard receiving region adapter element which has a channel shaped cross-section having an outer surface which corresponds to an inner surface of the body defining the trigger guard receiving region of the cavity and an inner surface configured to snuggly accommodate the trigger guard of a firearm with which the modified holster is intended to be used.
  • the holster arrangement may include a muzzle receiving region adapter element which is mounted or mountable in the muzzle receiving region of the cavity in order to change the effective shape of the muzzle receiving cavity in order to accommodate the muzzle of a firearm with which the modified holster is intended to be used.
  • the body of the holster and the or each adaptor element may be provided with complementary locating formations in order to locate the adaptor element in the body.
  • the locating formations may include a lug on one of the body and the adaptor element and a complementary recess or hole on the other of the body and the adaptor element.
  • the adaptor element may be secured in position in the body by means of a fastener extending through a hole in the body into engagement with the adaptor element.
  • the position of the adaptor may be adjustable, e.g. using spacers and/or a jacking screw to permit it to be configured to suit a particular firearm and thereby ensure that the firearm is a snug fit in the holster.
  • the retaining means may include a retaining member which is mounted on the body and displaceable between a retaining position towards which it is resiliently biased and a release position, the retaining member having a trigger guard engaging formation which, in the retaining position of the retaining member, protrudes into the cavity, the trigger guard engaging formation being configured such that insertion of a firearm into the holster causes the trigger guard to engage the retaining member and to displace the retaining member away from its retaining position towards its release position to permit the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard engaging formation and to permit the retaining member to return to its retaining position once the trigger guard has passed, and such that when the firearm is withdrawn from the holster, the trigger guard engages and displaces the retaining member away from its retaining position to permit the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard engaging formation and permit withdrawal of the firearm from the holster; and adjustment means whereby the force required to displace the retaining member away from its retaining position and hence to withdraw the firearm from the holster is adjustable.
  • the adjustment means may be configured to adjust the depth to which the trigger guard engaging formation protrudes into the cavity.
  • the retaining member may be pivotally mounted to the body and may be biased towards its retaining position by means of a resilient biasing means such as spring, e.g. a coil or other type of spring.
  • a resilient biasing means such as spring, e.g. a coil or other type of spring.
  • the spring may be a coil spring which is mounted in compression between the retaining member and the body of the holster.
  • the adjustment means may include an adjusting screw which serves as a stop to adjust the extent to which the trigger guard engaging formation extends into the cavity of the holster when the retaining member is in its retaining position.
  • the retaining member can be adjusted to accommodate different fire-arms, the trigger guards of which may vary and also to adjust the force required in order for the retaining member to be displaced away from its retaining position when withdrawing a fire-arm from the holster.
  • Another way in which the force required for the retaining member to be displaced away from its retaining position is by changing the spring rate of the spring.
  • the body may be formed of a synthetic plastics material and have a guide arrangement for facilitating the insertion of a firearm into the holster.
  • An inner surface of the body may be inclined to guide a fire-arm into the holster.
  • the body may define a flared mouth at an entrance to the cavity to facilitate aligning a muzzle of a fire-arm with the cavity of the holster.
  • the retaining means may include a locking arrangement whereby a firearm inserted into the holster can be locked releasably in position.
  • the locking arrangement may include a locking member which is mounted on the body and is displaceable between a locked position towards which it is biased and a release position, the locking member when in its locking position being displaceable by a trigger guard of a firearm upon insertion of the firearm into the holster to displace the locking member away from its locked position to permit the trigger guard to pass the locking member and to permit the locking member to return to its locked position once the trigger guard has passed the locking member and in which the locking member serves to inhibit unauthorised withdrawal of said firearm from the holster.
  • the locking member may be pivotally connected to the body and may be configured such that an attempt to withdraw a said firearm from the holster without manually displacing the locking member towards its release position will result in the locking member being urged more firmly into its locked position.
  • the retaining means includes a locking member and a retaining member mounted on opposite sides of the body.
  • the retaining means may include a retaining member comprising an arm element and a nose element on which the trigger guard engaging formation is provided, the arm element and nose element having complementary mounting formations whereby the nose element is dismountably mounted or mountable to the arm element.
  • the arm element may be used with a plurality of different nose elements thereby effectively modifying the retaining arrangement for use with a plurality of different firearms.
  • the nose element is considerably smaller than the arm element substantial savings can be achieved on the cost of dies and hence the manufacturing of the holster.
  • the mounting formations may include a recess in one of the arm element and the nose element and a complementary protrusion on the other of the arm element and the nose element which is receivable in the recess and a locking arrangement for locking the protrusion releasably in position in the recess.
  • the locking arrangement may include at least one locking pin which extends between the arm element and the nose element.
  • the protrusion may be secured releasably in position in the recess by a pair of locking pins.
  • One of the locking pins may form a pivot pin whereby the retaining member is pivotally mounted to the body for displacement between its retaining position and its release position.
  • the adaptor elements will be configured to compensate for trigger guards having different shapes, widths and/or heights thereby permitting the use of the holster with multiple firearms and increasing its versatility.

  • the holster may include a passive retaining arrangement whereby a firearm is held releasably in position in the holster.
  • the passive retaining arrangement may include a retaining member which is mounted on the body and displaceable between a retaining position towards which it is resiliently biased and a release position, the retaining member having a trigger guard engaging formation which in the retaining position of the retaining member protrudes into the cavity, the trigger guard engaging formation being configured such that insertion of a fire-arm into the holster causes the trigger guard to engage the retaining member and to displace the retaining member away from its retaining position to permit the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard engaging formation and to permit the retaining member to return to its retaining position once the trigger guard has passed, and such that when the fire-arm is withdrawn from the holster, the trigger guard engages and displaces the retaining member away from its retaining position to permit the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard engaging formation and permit withdrawal of the fire-arm from the holster.
  • reference numeral 8 generally indicates a holster arrangement in accordance with the invention.
  • the holster arrangement 8 includes a holster in accordance with the invention which is generally indicated by reference numeral 10.
  • the holster includes a body 12 and a retaining member, generally indicated by reference numeral 14 mounted on the body 12.
  • the body 12 includes a holster body wall 16 which could be formed by moulding, e.g. injection moulding, 3-D printing, vacuum forming or the like and which defines a cavity 18 for receiving at least part of a firearm. More particularly, the cavity 18 has a trigger guard retaining region 20 and a muzzle receiving region 22.
  • the body 12 includes a flared mouth 24 at an entrance to the cavity 18 which serves as a guide arrangement to facilitate aligning an end of a muzzle of a firearm with the entrance to the cavity 18 and thereby facilitates insertion of the firearm into the holster.
  • the retaining member 14 is pivotally mounted to an outer surface 26 of the body 12 for limited pivotal translation about a pivot axis defined by a pivot pin 28 ( Fig 8 ).
  • the retaining member 14 is in the form of a first order lever and includes an effort arm 30 and a working arm 32 positioned on opposite sides of the pivot axis.
  • a biasing spring 34 is positioned in compression between the effort arm 30 of the retaining member 14 and the body 12, biasing the effort arm 30 in the direction of arrow 31 ( Fig 8 ) away from the body 12 into a retaining position of the retaining member 14 (shown in Figure 8 ).
  • the working arm 32 includes a trigger guard engaging formation 36 which, in the retaining position of the retaining member 14 protrudes through an aperture 38 in a side of the body 12 into a trigger guard passage interfering position in the trigger guard retaining region 20 of the cavity 18.
  • the trigger guard engaging formation 36 includes a first inclined surface 40 against which a trigger guard 41 of a firearm abuts when a firearm is being inserted into the holster and a second inclined surface 42 against which the trigger guard abuts when a said firearm is being withdrawn from the holster 10 as described in more detail below.
  • the first surface 40 and second surface 42 are angularly spaced-apart and configured such that when a firearm is inserted into the holster, the trigger guard 41 engages the first surface 40 and urges the trigger guard engaging formation 36 outwardly against the bias of the spring 34 to permit the trigger guard 41 to pass the trigger guard engaging formation which then returns to its retaining position under the influence of the spring 34 once the trigger guard 41 has passed.
  • the second surface 42 is configured such that upon withdrawal of a firearm from the holster, the trigger guard 41 engages the second surface 42 and displaces the trigger guard engaging formation 36 away from its retaining position against the bias of the spring 34 to permit the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard engaging formation 36. It will be appreciated that by changing the shape and/or inclination of the surfaces 40, 42 the force which must be applied to a firearm to insert it into or remove it from the holster can be varied.
  • the working arm 32 includes a lug 44 and an adjusting screw 46 ( Fig 8 ) which extends through a hole in the lug 44 and abuts against an outer surface of the body 12.
  • the depth to which the trigger guard engaging formation 36 protrudes into the cavity 18 is adjustable. This, in turn, will permit the distance the formation 36 must be displaced in order to permit the trigger guard to pass and hence the force required in order to insert a firearm and/or remove a firearm from the holster to be adjustable.
  • the spring rate of the spring 34 may be changed thereby adjusting the force required in order to compress the spring and hence to insert or remove a firearm.
  • the retaining member 14 accordingly functions as a passive retaining arrangement for retaining a firearm releasably in the holster.
  • the retaining member 14 serves to retain a firearm in the holster but, with the application of sufficient force to the firearm in order to overcome the bias of the spring 34, the retaining member 14 can be displaced away from its retaining position to a release position in which it permits the trigger guard to pass the trigger guard 41 engaging formation 36 and for the firearm to be removed or inserted into the holster.
  • the holster 10 includes, in addition to the retaining member 14, a locking arrangement, generally indicated by reference numeral 52 whereby a firearm inserted into the holster can be locked releasably in position. It will be appreciated that it is unlikely that both the passive retaining arrangement in the form of a retaining member 14 and the locking arrangement 52 will be used simultaneously. However, this option is available.
  • the locking arrangement 52 includes a locking member 54 which is pivotally mounted on an outer surface of the body 12, on an opposite side to the side on which the retaining member 14 is mounted.
  • the locking member 54 is in the form of a first order lever and includes an effort arm 56 and a working arm 58 positioned on opposite sides of a pivot axis defined by a pivot pin 60 ( Fig 8 ) whereby the locking member 54 is pivotally mounted to the body.
  • a biasing spring 62 is positioned in compression between the effort arm 56 of the locking member 54 and the body 12, biasing the effort arm 56 in the direction of arrow 63 away from the body 12 into a locked or fire-arm retaining position of the locking member 54.
  • the trigger guard engaging surface 66 is inclined and operates in a similar fashion to the first surface 40 of the retaining member 14 such that, when a firearm is inserted into the holster, the trigger guard 41 abuts against the surface 66 and displaces the working arm 58 outwardly against the bias of the spring 62 to permit the trigger guard to pass, after which the locking member 54 returns to its locked position.
  • the trigger guard engaging surface 68 is configured such that when an attempt is made to withdraw the firearm from the holster, the trigger guard abuts against the trigger guard engaging surface 68 and exerts a moment on the locking member 54 about the pivot axis which urges the locking member more firmly into its locked position thereby inhibiting withdrawal of the firearm from the holster.
  • the length of the effort arm 56 may be made adjustable to permit a user to adjust it to his particular preference.
  • the pivot pins 28, 60 are typically screw-threaded for part of their length.
  • the holes in the retaining member 14 and locking member 54 through which the pivot pins 28, 60, extend, are provided with complementary screw-threads which serve to retain the pivot pins in position and reduce the risk that they may disengage with the body 12.
  • the locking member 54 is typically formed as a unitary moulding of a synthetic plastics material.
  • reference numeral 110 refers generally to another locking member in accordance with the invention.
  • the locking member 110 is substantially identical to the locking member 54 and unless otherwise indicated, the same reference numerals above are used to designate similar parts.
  • the main difference between the locking member 110 and the locking member 54 is that instead of being formed as a unitary moulding, the locking member 110 comprises two components, namely an arm element 112 and a nose element, generally indicated by reference numeral 114.
  • the arm element 112 includes a pair of transversely spaced parallel lugs 116 which define, between them, a slot or recess 118.
  • the nose element 114 includes a body 120 on which the trigger guard engaging surfaces 66, 68 are provided.
  • a protrusion 122 protrudes from the body 120 and, as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10 of the drawings, is snuggly receivable in the slot 118.
  • the nose element 114 is secured to the arm element 112 by means of pins 124, 126 extending through aligned holes 128, 130 in the arm element 112 and the protrusion 122.
  • the locking member 110 would be mounted on the body 12 and used in a substantially identical fashion to the locking member 54 described above.
  • one of the pins 124 may be used as the pivot pin whereby the locking member 110 is pivotally mounted to the body 12.
  • the locking member 54, 110 can be mounted on either the side of the holster body 12 enabling its use by both lefthanded and righthanded persons. The Inventor believes that an advantage with the present invention is that the locking member 54, 110 can be positioned on the side of the body which will enable it to be thumb operated which reduces the risk of inadvertent discharge of a firearm being withdrawn from the holster.
  • the trigger guard engaging surfaces 66, 68 may have to change to accommodate the particular firearm.
  • the appropriate nose element 114, 132, 134 can be selected and attached, in the manner described above, to the arm element 112.
  • the nose elements 114, 132, 134 are considerably smaller than the arm elements 112 and accordingly, the size and cost associated with the dies for manufacturing a plurality of different nose elements would be considerably less than the cost associated with moulding different locking members 54 in order to accommodate a variety of firearms. In this way, the Inventor believes that the cost associated with the manufacture of the holster can be reduced whilst at the same time greatly improving the versatility thereof.
  • the retaining member 14 could be manufactured making use of two separate parts in the same manner as described above resulting in cost savings and increased versatility.
  • the body 12 defines a longitudinally extending groove 68 within which a forward sight of the firearm is slidably receivable.
  • the body 12 may include mounting formations whereby one or more spacing elements can be mounted within the body in order to adapt the shape and dimensions of the cavity 18 in order to suit a particular firearm.
  • the holster arrangement 8 may include an adapter element 70 which is mountable to the body 12 in the trigger guard receiving region 20 of the cavity 18 in order to permit the holster to be modified to accommodate a firearm having a different and specifically a narrower trigger guard.
  • the trigger guard receiving region 20 is generally channel-shaped in cross-section.
  • the adapter element 70 has a channel-shaped cross-section having an outer surface 72 which corresponds to an inner surface of the body 12 defining the trigger guard receiving region 20 of the cavity 18.
  • the adapter element 70 further includes an inner surface 74 which is generally channel-shaped and has a width configured such that a trigger guard of a firearm with which the adapter element is intended to be used is snugly receivable therein.
  • the channel shape of the inner surface 74 serves further to centralise the trigger guard of the firearm to ensure the desired degree of interference between the trigger guard, the retaining member 14 and/or the locking member 54 to ensure consistent operation thereof.
  • the body 12 and the adapter element 70 are provided with complementary locating formations in the form of a lug 76 on the adapter element 70 which is receivable in a complementary recess 78 on an inner surface of the body 12.
  • a fastener in the form of a screw 80 extends through an aperture in the body 12 into screw-threaded engagement with the lug 76 in order to retain the adapter element 70 in position.
  • the holster arrangement 8 further include an adapter 82 which is mountable to an inner surface of the body 12 in the muzzle receiving region 22 of the cavity 18 in order to adapt the cavity to receive a muzzle of a firearm other than the one with which the holster body is intended to be used.
  • the adapter 82 includes an inner surface 84 having an inclined face 86 which serves to guide a muzzle of a firearm being inserted into the holster 10.
  • the adapter 82 is mounted to the body 12 in a similar fashion to the adapter element 70 by means of a lug 88 forming part of the adapter 82, a complementary recess 90 on an inner surface of the body and a locking screw 92 which is inserted into screw-threaded engagement with the lug, through an aperture in the body 12.
  • spacers or shims 97 may be provided between the adapter element 70 or the adapter 82 and the body of the holster.
  • an adjusting screw 93 may extend through a hole 95 in the body 12 and abut against the adapter element 70 or the adapter 82, as the case may be. Accordingly, in order to adjust the holster 10 to a specific firearm, with the screws 80, 92 relatively loose, a firearm is inserted into the holster. The adjusting screw 93 is then screwed in or out until the firearm is a snug fit. At this position, the screws 80, 92 are tightened in order to lock the adapter element 70 and adapter 82 in position.
  • the holster arrangement 8 could be provided in a kit form comprising a holster in accordance with the invention and a plurality of adaptors whereby the holster can be modified to render it suitable for use with a plurality of different firearms.
  • a resiliently deformable stop or buffer 104 ( Figure 7 ) is positioned in a complementary recess 106 in the body 12.
  • the stop or buffer 104 is typically formed of elastically deformable elastomeric material such as Nitrile foam rubber and a free end thereof is positioned closely spaced from the surfaces 42, 68. Accordingly, when a trigger guard passes the surfaces 42, 68 and the elements 30, 52 return to their rest positions, the trigger guard is sandwiched between the surface of the buffer 104 and the surfaces 42, 68 thereby securing the firearm snuggly in the holster and avoiding rattling of the firearm within the holster.
  • the recess 106 may define a screw-threaded hole 107 within which an adjustable screw is screw-threadedly mountable in order to form an adjustable stop against which a trigger guard can abut when the firearm is fully inserted into the holster.
  • the holster 10 includes mounting formations 94, 96 provided on opposite sides of the body 12 whereby the holster is connectable to a belt hanger.
  • the provision of the mounting formations 94, 96 permit the use of the holster by both left and right- handed users.
  • Each mounting formation 94, 96 includes a raised formation 98 and a centrally disposed mounting hole 100 in each formation 98.
  • a recess is provided in register with each of the raised formations 98 and, as illustrated in Figures 17 and 18 of the drawings, a head of a screw 152 whereby the holster body 12 is secured to a belt hanger 154, which could take any suitable form, is received in the recess thereby reducing the risk that it will damage the surface finish of a firearm being inserted into or removed form the holster.
  • a serrated washer 156 is typically provided between the holster body and a belt hanger in order to resist relative rotation between the two to ensure that the holster remains at a desired position facilitating easy access to a firearm mounted in the holster.
  • the holster body and belt hanger may be provided with complementary formations which, when urged together, serve to resist relative rotation between the belt hanger and the holster body.
  • the body 12 is symmetrical about a longitudinal centre line permitting the retaining member 14 and the locking member to be mounted on either side of the body enabling the holster 10 to be set up for use by both left and right-handed persons.
  • the holster may make use of two retaining members 14 which are positioned on opposite sides of the holster body 12.
  • the adapter element 70 and the adapter 82 could be used. It will be appreciated that any combination of these features could be mounted on the body of the holster in order to render it suitable for use with a particular firearm and for an intended purpose be it sport or law enforcement use.
  • the effort required to insert the firearm into the holster and to remove it from the holster can be adjusted to suit the user's particular preference.
  • a holster arrangement in accordance with the invention will permit a single holster body 12 to be used with a variety of firearms simply by making use of the appropriate adaptor elements.
  • the user can tailor the holster for his desired preferences.
  • the versatility of the holster arrangement in being able to accommodate a range of firearms, it is particularly compact which improves comfort and facilitates access to a firearm mounted in the holster.
  • the holster body 12 will typically be formed by injection moulding which, the Inventor believes has the advantage that the shape of the body 12 will not change as a consequence of temperature variation.
