Firearm docking systems include a receiver bracket configured for attachment to a mounting structure, a bracket slot in the receiver bracket, an adaptor retaining mechanism carried by the receiver bracket adjacent to the bracket slot and a male adaptor configured for attachment to a firearm and including an adaptor flange inserted in the bracket slot. The adaptor flange is selectively rotatable in the bracket slot. A plurality of adaptor flange openings is provided in the adaptor flange. The adaptor retaining mechanism releasably engages at least one of the plurality of adaptor flange openings.
