Abstract
A holster includes a safety strap which extends over a firearm carried in the holster, and a snap ring fastener on the inside surface of the holster for securing the end of the safety strap. A shield having a hardness less than that of the fastener extends around the fastener and projects into the interior of the holster beyond the fastener. The shield prevents the firearm from contacting the fastener when the firearm is removed or replaced in the holster which prevents abrasion of the firearm or its protective finish otherwise caused by repeated contact between the firearm and the unshielded fastener.
