Abstract
The invention relates to a carrying system for a portable weapon having a rigid support plate, a locking device to secure the weapon on the support plate, and at least one retaining strap. The locking device has a manually controlled movable finger and an elastic element for returning the finger to a locking position where it engages a groove in the weapon to lock the weapon against the support plate. The movable finger is automatically manipulated by the thumb of the shooter's hand, when the shooter grasps the weapon, to release the locking finger from the groove.
