Firmly push the gun in place while rocking it to the rear. To Remove: Again check for EMPTY and UNLOADED, grip the slide from the top while pointed away from you and in a safe direction.

| the Holdster and the ATF The Holdster came to be out of simple frustration. I wanted a holster for my new (at the time) Kel-Tec P-32 and there were none to be found! I found several that would "work in a pinch" but none that were made for or fitted to the gun. So off to my shop I went and out came the Holdster. However, the very first FFL dealer I showed it to told me the story of the "forbidden" wallet holster and warned that I may be outside the law with my new design. The next step was to contact the local ATF office. They were very helpful in getting me pointed in the right direction and told me to send the design to the Firearms Technology Branch of the BATF in Washington for classification. The FTB-BATF classified the Holdster design as non-any other weapon (or not a wallet holster) primarily because it is "readily discernible as a weapon" due to the exposed slide. As long as it isn't modified to conceal the weapon over the slide it is legal to own and use in conjunction with a semi-automatic pistol without falling in the AOW classification. |
