Abstract
A holster includes a safety strap which extends over a firearm carried in the holster. An adjustable snap ring fastener on an inside face of the holster attaches to a fastener on the end of the safety strap for securing the safety strap over the hammer of the firearm. The adjustable snap ring fastener overlies a narrow, elongated opening in the wall of the holster, and an adjustment screw of the inside face of the holster releasably secures the snap ring fastener over the opening. The adjustment screw is fastened to a bushing on the outside face of the holster. The adjustment screw can be loosened to permit sliding movement of the snap ring fastener to a selected position on the holster. A thin metal reinforcing member fastened to the outside face of the holster has a narrow, elongated opening that registers with the elongated opening in the wall of the holster. Sliding movement of the snap ring fastener is guided by the bushing which rides in the elongated opening of the reinforcing member. The position of the snap ring fastener can be adjusted on the holster to compensate for the softening or stretching of the leather in the safety strap, or to allow the safety strap to adjust for the hammer height of different firearms.
