They lock on the trigger & frame. Different manufacturers use different methods. If you're looking for something like this, I can get this for you in Toronto.

The guns are drawn straight up, just like a tactical holster. When the locking mechanism is disengaged, there is almost zero friction for an ultra fast draw. Meanwhile, when the locking mechanism is engaged, the pistol is secured to the holster in a manner that even tactical holsters can not compete with. These are requirements placed as regulation on gear by practical shooting organizations. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!

Expect price ranges of $160 to $190 for these types of holsters. This is for the gun alone. The belts range around $60 (includes an inner and outer belt). And the magazine holsters, depending on the brand you go with can range anywhere from $33 each to $40 each.

I personally have both the Ghost holster as well as the CR Speed Versa holster.

The CR Speed one is great if you have many different types of pistol frames (ie P226, Browning, Para, 1911, STI/SVI, Glock, etc) and plan on shooting all those different types through your lifespan in the sport.

However, if you use say... an STI/SVI setup but compete in both open division as well as limited division, the CR Speed can get a bit annoying as you'll have to adjust the muzzle rest each time you set up for a new gun. (Limited division pistols tend to be longer due to the compensators).
This scenario is where the Ghost holsters win, as it holds just the trigger guard and the muzzle length is not an issue. You can go from a 3.9" to a full 6" beast with 3" compensator on it if you like and it will all fit.

The downside of the Ghost holster is that it is frame-specific. IE, if you have a Ghost holster set up for a Glock, you can't expect to be able to fit your STI/SVI frame in there.

(fyi, Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa trigger guard is based on STI/SVI.)
