Secured in the belt, adjacent one end, are the head members 11, of separable fasteners, the socliet members 12, of which are carried by the holster, which will be described later herein. There are two of these lnelnbers 11, arranged in longitudinal alinement, with respect to the belt, and secured to the belt, intermediate these members, and slightly out of alinement therewith, is a third head member 13.
