US Patent 11000113 Magnetic firearm and knife holster

A firearm holster or knife sheath with an imbedded magnetic holstering locator is disclosed. A strong magnet source is positioned at a preferred insertion point of a firearm holster or knife sheath. To facilitate inserting a firearm or edged weapon in a holster or sheath, a magnet located at the insertion edge opening in each instance allows the user to more safely reholster or re-sheath either a firearm or a knife without a need to break focus on a threat. The magnetic insert attracts the leading edge of the firearm or the knife thereby allowing the user to quickly recognize the correct position to begin insertion of the firearm or the knife into the holster or sheath without the need to observe the arm movement in the process.
