A holster for a weapon such as an electric discharge weapon is made from two pieces joined together to form the holster end wall. The holster right piece has a right end wall part that is molded with both thin wall and also selected thick wall areas that are intentionally molded as thick wall areas. The holster left piece has a left end wall part that is molded to have both thin wall and also selected thick wall areas that are intentionally molded as thick wall areas. When assembled, thin wall areas of the left end wall part overlap thin wall areas of the right end wall part to thereby form a first thick wall region of the holster end wall. Thick wall areas of the right piece end wall part interfit with thick wall areas of the left piece end wall part to form a second thick wall region of the holster end wall.

A holster, for a pistol that has a top portion and that has a bottom portion including a trigger guard, includes a holster body having a top portion and a bottom portion fixed in position relative to the top portion. The holster body defines a chamber in the holster body for receiving a portion of the pistol. The holster body is made of two holster body pieces that are joined together to form the holster body defining the chamber. The holster also includes a plurality of different pistol retention devices each of which is configured to be mounted inside the chamber of the holster body between the at least two holster body pieces. Each one of the plurality of devices has a mounting portion for securing the device in the chamber of the holster body and having a trigger guard engagement portion for releasably engaging the trigger guard of the pistol. The mounting portions of the plurality of devices are substantially identical to each other whereby any selected one of the plurality of devices can be similarly mounted in a working position inside the chamber of the holster body. The trigger guard engagement portions of the plurality of devices are substantially different from each other thereby to properly releasably engage different pistols having different trigger guards. As a result, the one holster body can accommodate and retain a number of different pistols having different sizes and configurations by mounting an appropriate pistol retention device that is configured for that pistol.
