Abstract
A holstering device is made for an elongate hand weapon or is made as a standard holstering device for holstering any one of a number of different types of elongate hand weapons. Such holstering device extends along opposite first and second sides of any of these hand weapons and straddles that hand weapon between such opposite first and second sides when that hand weapon is holstered. The holstering device also includes a track structure having in that holstering device a first track at the mentioned first side and a second track at the mentioned second side. Each of such elongate hand weapons is equipped with an adapter having first and second slides complementary with the first and second tracks of the track structure for holstering the adapter in that track structure while holstering any of the elongate hand weapon in that holstering device. Each adapter is made integral with a corresponding elongate hand weapon as distinguished from the holstering device, so that such adapter is removed with that elongate hand weapon from that holstering device when that hand weapon is drawn from that holstering device.
