Patent attributes
A pistol mount assembly includes a clip body, a retaining body, a latch assembly and a locking cylinder. The clip body secures the retaining body to a person or object. The retaining body is optionally removable from the clip body and includes the latch assembly and the locking cylinder. At least one of the latch assembly and the locking cylinder pass within a trigger guard area of the firearm. The space between the trigger guard and the trigger is filled thereby preventing misfire. One or more latches or locking bolts are used to selectively overlap the trigger guard and/or trigger to prevent translation of the firearm off the retaining body. A two-tiered readiness function is realized through the pistol mount assembly. The assembly uses no holster but maintains effective securement of the firearm and is easily pulled at time of emergency.
