Abstract

A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt comprises a body having at one end a loop for receiving the belt. The securement system also has a holster mount capable of being rigidly connected to the holster. An engagement member selectively detachably interconnects the body and the holster mount. The engagement member rigidly connects the holster mount to the body when engaged, and the engagement member enables the body and the holster mount to be selectively movable with respect to each other when disengaged.

Claims

1. A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt, comprising:

(a) a body having at one end means for securing said body to the belt;

(b) a holster mount adapted to be rigidly connected to the holster;

(c) an engagement member selectively detachably interconnecting said body and said holster mount, said engagement member rigidly connecting said holster mount to said body when engaged, and said engagement member enabling said body and said holster mount to be selectively movable with respect to each other when disengaged.

2. The holster securement system of claim 1 wherein said engagement member is capable of selectively interconnecting said holster mount with said body at a first position and a second position.

3. The holster securement system of claim 2 wherein said first position is vertically displaced from said second position.

4. The holster securement system of claim 2 wherein said first position is angularly displaced relative to said second position.

5. The holster securement system of claim 1 wherein said holster mount is rotatable with respect to said body when said engagement member is disengaged.

6. The holster securement system of claim 1 wherein said holster mount is movable vertically with respect to said body when said engagement member is disengaged.

7. The holster securement system of claim 6 wherein said holster mount is rotatable with respect to said body when said engagement member is disengaged.

8. The holster securement system of claim 1 further comprising a second body, said engagement member capable of selectively detachably interconnecting said second body with said holster mount.

9. The holster securement system of claim 1 further comprising an extension member attached to said holster mount.

10. The holster securement system of claim 1 further including a member connected to said holster member, said member having a surface angularly offset from said outer surface of said body.

11. A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt, comprising:

(a) a body defining at one end at least one opening for receiving the belt;

(b) a fastening mechanism adapted to be rigidly connected to the holster and operatively engageable with said body, said fastening mechanism including a release member movable between a first position and a second position;

(c) said fastening mechanism selectively detachably interconnecting said body with the holster, said fastening mechanism rigidly connecting the holster to said body when said release member is in said first position, and said fastening mechanism enabling said body and said holster to be selectively movable with respect to each other when said release member is moved to said second position.

12. The holster securement system of claim 11 wherein said fastening mechanism selectively secures the holster to said body at one of a plurality of locations on said body.

13. The holster securement system of claim 12 wherein one of said locations on said body is vertically displaced from another of said locations on said body, so that said holster may be connected to said body at two different heights relative to said body.

14. The holster securement system of claim 12 wherein one of said locations on said body is angularly displaced from another of said locations on said body, so that said holster may be connected to said body at two different angular orientations relative to said body.

15. The holster securement system of claim 14 wherein the holster is movable vertically relative to said body when said release member is in said second position.

16. A holster securement system for securing a holster to a belt, comprising:

(a) an integral body having at one end a loop for receiving the belt and at least one fastener for connecting the holster to said body; and

(b) said body defining at least two locations for securement of said faster to said body, said two locations being vertically spaced apart from each other so that the holster may be connected to said body at one of two different ride heights.
