Holster Having Rotatable Locking Element

A locking holster, comprising:

• a holster body defining an at least partial cavity portion;
• a locking element, wherein a helical recess begins at or proximate a proximal end and extends to a locking projection portion extending from at least a portion of a distal end of said locking element, wherein said locking element is at least partially rotatable between an engaged position wherein at least said locking projection portion of said locking element protrudes into at least a portion of said at least partial cavity portion of said holster and a disengaged position wherein at least a portion of said locking element is at least partially withdrawn from at least a portion of said at least partial cavity portion of said holster;
• a rod element, attached or coupled to a first end of said locking element;
• and
• an engagement lever attached or coupled to a second end of said rod element, wherein said engagement lever is rotatable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, and wherein angular manipulation or rotation of at least a portion of said engagement lever results in angular manipulation or rotation of said locking element.
