Abstract
A quick-release handgun holster that has a latch device comprising a lever (20) with an engagement end (22) and a finger button end (24), the engagement end having a locking face (25) for retaining a handgun in the holster by engaging the trigger guard. An outer wall (36) prevents the engagement end from touching the trigger of the handgun by limiting how far the handgun can be inserted into the holster. A support wall (32) and a guide wall (34) facilitate alignment of the trigger guard with the locking face by limiting lateral movement of the handgun with respect to the lever. Quick release operation is provided by a spring-loaded tongue (23) that moves the handgun outward past the lock point when the finger button end is urged.
