Abstract

An ambidextrous pistol carrying device of conveniently and inexpensively fabricated modular design includes a mainframe member of non-leather composition, an elongated spring member and a guard strap member connected to the mainframe member, and components for removably connecting a shoulder harness. The mainframe member includes a muzzle retainer portion that extends across and abuts the muzzle of a pistol, a bore-engaging protrusion on the muzzle retainer portion that extends at least partially into the bore, and left and right arm portions that extend from the muzzle portion along the sides of the pistol to positions above the trigger guard. The spring member extends across the rearward portion of the pistol between the left and right arm portions to spring bias the pistol toward the muzzle retainer portion. The guard strap member includes a strap of flexible material that fastens together through the trigger guard in order to inhibit premature trigger finger contact of the trigger when the pistol is drawn. Fastener components enable removable connection of a shoulder harness to the muzzle retainer portion and the rearward ends of the left and right arm portions. The pistol retention system includes a removable shoulder harness, and an ambidextrous shoulder harness is disclosed that includes three straps connected pivotally to enable a user to convert the shoulder harness for either lefthand or righthanded use.
