Abstract

An easily drawn shoulder holster primarily intended to retain automatic handguns having upward, rearwardly extending hammer cover assemblies. The holster includes a folded, multilayer sheath with an inner layer of leather, an outer layer of leather and a central stiffening layer, preferably of metal. The sheath covers the body of the handgun including its hammer cover while allowing the butt pointed to the front, and the barrel pointed downwardly, to extend therefrom. A redundant spring extends across the front of the trigger guard of the handgun to urge the hammer cover assembly up into a downwardly facing, upper pocket in the sheath for retention of the handgun.
