A holster for a weapon such as an electric discharge weapon is made from two pieces joined together to form the holster end wall. The holster right piece has a right end wall part that is molded with both thin wall and also selected thick wall areas that are intentionally molded as thick wall areas. The holster left piece has a left end wall part that is molded to have both thin wall and also selected thick wall areas that are intentionally molded as thick wall areas. When assembled, thin wall areas of the left end wall part overlap thin wall areas of the right end wall part to thereby form a first thick wall region of the holster end wall. Thick wall areas of the right piece end wall part interfit with thick wall areas of the left piece end wall part to form a second thick wall region of the holster end wall.

Holster body

A trigger guard stabilizer for a holster provides trigger guard side-to-side support. Because the trigger guard stabilizer is spring-loaded, and can be depressed into a receiving pocket, it automatically moves downward out of the way if a taller light passes over the stabilizer top during a holstering action. Once the light has passed over the stabilizer, the stabilizer springs back into a position with portions that extend on either side of the trigger guard. This helps to hold the trigger guard centered laterally in the holster, thus impeding unwanted access to the trigger.

Holster

A holster for a handgun assembly includes a holster body having a chamber for receiving the handgun assembly. A tensioner is mounted on the holster body in a position to be engaged by the handgun assembly in the chamber, and is operable to apply a resilient biasing force to the handgun assembly in the chamber. The tensioner includes tensioner body that is engaged and deformed by the handgun assembly, and a spring for resisting and controlling deformation of the tensioner body. The tensioner has a first end portion mounted on the holster body for only rotational movement on the holster body, and a second end portion mounted on the holster body for both sliding and rotational movement on the holster body. A tension spring maintains tension on the tensioner body.
