## Abstract

A holster mounting device is an apparatus used to secure a gun holster to the handlebar of a vehicle, a flat surface, or another object. The apparatus includes a holster setting which receives and secures a gun holster. The holster setting includes a setting plate, a first bracket, and a second bracket. The first bracket and the second bracket both include a clip rail. The clip rails allow the spring clip of a gun holster to be attached to the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a mount which is connected to the setting plate. One kind of mount includes a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw, which together may grip a handlebar. Another kind of mount includes a base plate which may be secured to a surface. A third kind of mount includes a decorative and stabilizing bezel and may be directly connected to an object or surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1
