Firearm holstering systems having holster attachment components that are pivotally connected to firearm holsters

Abstract

Firearm holstering systems having holster attachment components that are pivotally connected to firearm holsters are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a firearm holstering system includes a belt attachment component configured for attachment to a belt. The system also includes a holster attachment component that is pivotally connected to the belt attachment component. The holster attachment component is configured to pivotally connect to a firearm holster. The holster attachment component includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the firearm holster in at least two different positions with respect to the holster attachment component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm holstering system comprising:
 a belt attachment component configured for attachment to a belt; and   a holster attachment component that is pivotally connected to the belt attachment component, wherein the holster attachment component is configured to pivotally connect to a firearm holster, and wherein the holster attachment component comprises a locking mechanism configured to lock the firearm holster in at least two different positions with respect to the holster attachment component.   
     
     
         2 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 1 , wherein the firearm holster is detachable from the holster attachment component. 
     
     
         3 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 1 , wherein the belt attachment component defines a plurality of apertures for holding to the belt. 
     
     
         4 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap attached to the holster attachment component for attaching the holster attachment component to a person's leg. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 4 , wherein the strap includes a buckle for attachment of ends of the strap together. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 4 , wherein the holster attachment component defines a plurality of apertures for holding the strap. 
     
     
         7 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism comprises a rotation mechanism configured to hold the firearm holster to the holster attachment mechanism and to rotate the firearm holster with respect to the holster attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least two different positions comprise a first position and a second position, and
 wherein the rotation mechanism is configured to rotate the firearm holster to the first position, and configured to rotate the firearm holster to the second position.   
     
     
         9 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 8 , wherein the holster attachment component defines at least one abutment that define a range of movement of the firearm holster between the first position and the second position. 
     
     
         10 . The firearm holstering system of  claim 1 , wherein holster attachment mechanism comprises a stand-off component with an interface configured to attachment to and detachment from the firearm holster. 
     
     
         11 . A method of holstering a firearm, the method comprising:
 providing a firearm holstering system comprising:
 a belt attachment component configured for attachment to a belt; and 
 a holster attachment component that is pivotally connected to the belt attachment component, wherein the holster attachment component is configured to pivotally connect to a firearm holster, and wherein the holster attachment component comprises a locking mechanism configured to lock the firearm holster in at least two different positions with respect to the holster attachment component; and 
 rotating the holster attachment component. 
   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the firearm holster is detachable from the holster attachment component. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the belt attachment component defines a plurality of apertures for holding to the belt. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising a strap attached to the holster attachment component for attaching the holster attachment component to a person's leg. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the strap includes a buckle for attachment of ends of the strap together. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the holster attachment component defines a plurality of apertures for holding the strap. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the locking mechanism comprises a rotation mechanism configured to hold the firearm holster to the holster attachment mechanism and to rotate the firearm holster with respect to the holster attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the at least two different positions comprise a first position and a second position, and
 wherein the rotation mechanism is configured to rotate the firearm holster to the first position, and configured to rotate the firearm holster to the second position.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the holster attachment component defines at least one abutment that define a range of movement of the firearm holster between the first position and the second position. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein holster attachment mechanism comprises a stand-off component with an interface configured to attachment to and detachment from the firearm holster.
