Modular holster system

Abstract

Provided herein is a modular holster system comprising a combination of a holster, magazine carrier, connector and a belt clip. The holster and the magazine carrier each comprise an O-ring based retention system which holds the firearm and magazine in place without compromise quick draw. The modular holster system can be assembled in a vertical, angled, or staked orientation. Furthermore, the modular holster system can be configured to be carried inside the waistband of the user, outside the waistband of the user, or appendix to the user.
