Abstract
A holster for holding a handgun having a safety strap integrated with a quick release mechanism to hold the handgun in place until released by the user. The strap extends from an exposed portion of the holster over a part of the handgun and cooperates with a complementary member and the release mechanism integrated therewith for releasing the strap from the complementary member thereby allowing the gun to be withdrawn. This release mechanism is located sufficiently within the outer dimensions of the handgun and the holster to impede substantially inadvertent actuation.
