Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
In a gun support including a support member formed with a passageway therein dimensioned for mounting of said support member to a belt-like garment proximate the front waist of the user, said support member further being formed with a pocket having an open top dimensioned to receive the trigger guard of a gun therein, said open top being accessible for receipt of said trigger guard from a front side of said member, the improvement comprising: an elastomeric member removably mounted in said pocket whereby a plurality of elastomeric members of similar external form may be interchangeably mounted in said pocket; said elastomeric member having an interior wall defining an open top cavity mounted in registration with said open top of said pocket, said interior wall of said cavity being custom formed and contoured to mate with and provide a substantially continuous support for and resilient gripping of the outer periphery of the trigger guard of a particular gun whereby a plurality of elastomeric members may be interchangeably mounted in said pocket for support of any one of a plurality of guns; and said elastomeric member being formed to resiliently grip and support said trigger guard with sufficient force to provide substantially the sole support required for said gun to secure the same in an upright ready for use position proximate the front waist of the user.
