Abstract

The present invention is a holster clip that allows conversion of most generic holsters into a concealable holster which allows a wearer to tuck a shirt or jacket within the waistband of the wearer's pants. The holster clip is fashioned in an “M” shape, with longer inner walls forming a deep passage to allow space for the shirt or jacket and a structure to form a pant clip between a first outer wall and a first inner wall. An alternate embodiment forms the clip from two pivoting or non-pivoting halves to allow for canting and color coordination for further camouflage of the holster.

Claims (30)

1. A holster clip comprising:

a. a first outer wall further comprising two ends and a first, inward facing, hem at one end;

b. a first inner wall further comprising two ends and a second, outward facing, hem located between the two ends of the first inner wall;

c. a second inner wall further comprising two ends; and

d. a second outer wall, further comprising two ends, one end terminating in a trough;

wherein each wall is connected in a successive end-to-end relationship, the first inner wall being connected to the first outer wall, the second inner wall being connected to the first inner wall and the second outer wall being connected to the second inner wall such that the first and second hems interface to form a clip, a V-shaped passage is formed between the first and second inner walls and the trough is located in a passage between the second inner and second outer walls.

2. The holster clip of claim 1 , the first and second inner walls being longer than the first and second outer walls.

3. The holster clip of claim 2 , the first inner and outer walls being made of one piece and the second inner and outer walls being made of one piece, the two pieces being joined together at the first and second inner walls.

4. The holster clip of claim 3 , the two pieces being joined in manner to allow rotation of the pieces relative to each other.

5. The holster clip of claim 4 , the clip being manufactured of a material selected from the set of materials consisting of: metals, plastics and composites.

6. The holster clip of claim 1 , the first inner and outer walls being made of one piece and the second inner and outer walls being made of one piece, the two pieces being joined together at the first and second inner walls.

7. The holster clip of claim 6 , the two pieces being joined in manner to allow rotation of the pieces relative to each other.

8. The holster clip of claim 7 , the clip being manufactured of a material selected from the set of materials consisting of: metals, plastics and composites.

9. The holster clip of claim 6 , the clip being manufactured of a material selected from the set of materials consisting of: metals, plastics and composites

10. The holster clip of claim 1 , the clip being manufactured of a material selected from the set of materials consisting of: metals, plastics and composites.

11. A holster clip comprising:

a. a first outer wall further comprising two ends and a first, inward facing, hem at one end;

b. a first inner wall further comprising two ends and a hook, facing outward and located between the two ends of the first inner wall;

c. a second inner wall further comprising two ends; and

d. a second outer wall, further comprising two ends, one end terminating in a trough;

wherein each wall is connected in a successive end-to-end relationship, the first inner wall being connected to the first outer wall, the second inner wall being connected to the first inner wall and the second outer wall being connected to the second inner wall such that the hook and hem interface to form a clip and a V-shaped passage is formed between the first and second inner walls and the trough is located in a passage between the second inner and second outer walls.

12. The holster clip of claim 11 , the first and second inner walls being longer than the first and second outer walls.

13. The holster clip of claim 12 , the first inner and outer walls being made of one piece and the second inner and outer walls being made of one piece, the two pieces being joined together at the first and second inner walls.

14. The holster clip of claim 13 , the two pieces being joined in manner to allow rotation of the pieces relative to each other.
