I can't figure out what you're asking about?
I don't see any links or photos.
I searched holsterpro.com and came up with nothing?

Hard to help you out.

I had one before I sold it with my LCP.

It is legal as long as it does not conceal the shape of the gun. Which is why the slide is exposed.

Here is a picture I took when I had it.

Federally, the BATFE has ruled that since the slide is exposed it's legal. However, I'm not so sure CA law views it the same.

12020 (4) As used in this section, a "wallet gun" means any firearm
mounted or enclosed in a case, resembling a wallet, designed to be or
capable of being carried in a pocket or purse, if the firearm may be
fired while mounted or enclosed in the case.

So "mounted" in a case might apply here. It's partially enclosed, but definitely mounted. And it CAN be fired while in the wallet-resembling case.

I'd steer very clear of these in CA.

Is this "mounted" when it is in no way locked, latched, or secured by any hardware or device included in or additional to the holster? I'd say no since it can be removed with my hands with little effort.

Is this "enclosed"? An item can't be partially enCLOSED. It either is or its not.

EDIT: also can you mistake that configuration above as a wallet?

[McTerry]

I'm really baffled by the whole idea of the "holster" in question. What is it's purpose? It doesn't cover the trigger at all so it doesn't seem all that safe to me and it doesn't seem to have a clip or anything on it. I imagine it is a form of pocket holster but it doesn't seem to add anything to the safety aspect of the firearm. Seems about the same as just dropping the pistol itself into your pocket.

Not trying to sound *****holish, just generally confused by it.

[Librarian]

It will break up the outline of the pistol, while it's in a pocket, and it should maintain a 'grip up' attitude instead of allowing an un-cased pistol to rotate freely in the pocket.

[McTerry]

Oh I see, not nearly as invalid a holster as I had initially thought then. Good times.
