Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a convertible implement holster (such as a handgun holster, for example) comprising a multi-part shell. The convertible holster system allows a user to convert a holster into multiple configurations, including a full-shell configuration and a half-shell configuration, for various carry options. The holster may be interchangeably coupled to various attachment means (e.g., paddle, backer, modular coupler, strap, belt, etc.) for wearing or carrying the holster in the multiple configurations.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a locking mechanism that can be used to temporarily lock multiple component parts into a joined configuration. In various implementations, the locking mechanism comprises a twist lock system. For example, the twist lock system includes a first male portion including a post having one or more features in one or more surfaces of the post and a second female portion including a ring arranged to fit over the post and to engage the features of the post.
