Carrying Case For Concealed Firearms

Abstract

The present invention relates to a concealed firearm carrying device that is configured in such a manner as to alleviate the inherent disadvantages of other concealed carrying devices; it incorporates safety features that good practice dictates without interfering with practical use. The device is made in such a fashion so as to cover the firearm's upper assembly to help retain the shape of the holster and secure the firearm, and to cover the trigger and trigger guard thus reducing the possibility of an accidental discharge when drawing the firearm. The device is further configured to provide sufficient clearance for inserting the fingers of the drawing hand on the front side of the firearm's butt below the firearm's trigger guard. The quick releasing type of closure mechanism including magnetic closure further provides quick withdrawal of the firearm carried within the device and the device is adapted to receive firearms of various sizes.
