A holstering system including a base member and a holster that defines at least one opening adapted to receive and removably retain a firearm or other personal safety device. An articulating fastening mechanism removably mounts the holster to the base member. The fastening mechanism includes a first attachment member that defines an axis perpendicular to the base member and the holster and at least one second attachment member spaced from the first attachment member. The second attachment member is movable about a predetermined arcuate path relative to the axis defined by the first attachment member so as to change the angular orientation of the opening of the holster relative to the base.
