To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BYRON B. PARRISH, a

It is the further objectof the invention to provide a cheap, but perfectly reliable, accessible, durable, and convenient carrier, or holster, for pistols, and automatic guns of this type.

"With the above and various other objects in view my invention has relation to certain novel features of the construction and use, and is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:

Fig. 2 is a front view of the holster, with a gun shown in place therein, and illustrating the position of the metal belt clasp support. Fig. 3

is a top view of the holster containing the gun, and Fig. 1 is a View of theholster alone, showing its simple construction and accessibility. Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like reference numbers designate similar parts in all the figures, the numeral 1 represents a metallic shield of the proper length to accommodate the gun as shown in Fig. 1, having the lower end shaped as shown in Fig. 1, to protect the muzzle, and limit any downward movement of the gun when in proper position in the holster.

To this shield 1, and forming a substantial part of the holster, metallic strips 2 are securely fastened, said strips being brazed or soldered together, and shaped, as shown in Fig. 1, to conform'in general to Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

of the gun. A metal pin 6, slightly smaller than the gun bore is securely fastened into the lower end of'the shield 1, by means-of the rivet 7, or in any suitable manner, which pin will serveas a directive agent in placing the gun in the holster, and also limit any .movement of the muzzle in a lateral direction. 1

The invention is presented as including all such modifications and changes as properly come within the scope of the following claims:
