Pistol sock

The invention described herein concerns a comfort enhancing, pistol protecting gun sock that is compatible with holsters, yet rapidly removable via a convenient pull tab. The present invention addresses the discomfort of carrying pistols in the form of a gun sock that can be attached directly to the user's pistol without disruption to the user's existing carry holster. To accomplish the goal of the present invention, the gun sock comprises joined layers that have certain desired properties such as cushioning, breathability, and/or anti abrasive design. The gun sock is configured to at least partially surround and partially engage with pistol whether it is situated in a holster or not. In some implementations, the pistol can still be fired while the gun sock is engaged.
