Holster

Abstract

The present invention is a molded weapon holster device for concealing a weapon beneath the clothing of a user. The molded holster is designed to attach to the user's undergarments, such as a brassiere, with a strap and closing mechanism that are positioned around the material running between the bra cups. The holster and the barrel portion of the weapon lie between the bra cup and the user's breast. The holster device is additionally secured by its placement underneath the material connecting the bra cups and by the friction between the interior of the bra cup and the textured surface of the barrel portion of the holster device as the holster device sits within the user's brassiere. The holster device secures the weapon underneath the clothing such that it is invisible outside the clothing yet readily accessible when needed.
