The sides are stitched closed but the top and bottom edges are open. The trigger, barrel and chamber of the pistol would rest inside the holster, leaving the hand grip accessible at the top and the muzzle protruding from the bottom.

There are vertical slits on the left and right side of the hostler, to allow it to be threaded onto a belt. |
