A releasable rear securing strap connector may releasably secure the rear main strap segment end of the rear securing strap segment to the main strap segment of the harness strap. A front securing assembly may be provided on the main strap segment of the harness strap in spaced-apart relationship to the rear securing assembly. The front securing assembly may include a front securing strap carried by the main strap segment. A releasable front securing strap connector may releasably secure the front securing strap between fastened and unfastened configurations.

Attachment systems configured to fixedly hold a rail are described, including a first connector integrated with a tactical accessory mount, a base element, including a first engagement portion configured to at least partially wrap around a first edge of the rail, and a movable element configured to move relative to the base and including a second engagement portion configured to at least partially wrap around a second edge e of the rail. A locking mechanism is provided to hold the movable element in a closed position with the second engagement portion holding the second edge of the rail and the first engagement portion holding the first edge of the rail. A second connector may be attached to the base element to hold the base element to the tactical accessory mount via the first connector.

A holster is disclosed specially adapted for an assault weapon, the assault weapon having a pistol grip and a magwell. The holster comprises two separate brackets, an upper bracket and a lower bracket, where both the upper and lower holster brackets are adapted to be supported by a tactical vest with MOLLE webbing. The upper holster bracket has two terminal ends including two wings on the two terminal ends formed in a partial retrograde fashion to fold away from and oppose each other. The two wings can be manually spread apart in order to accept and surround the pistol grip of an assault weapon. The upper holster bracket is formed to surround the pistol grip of the assault weapon, and wherein the two wings rebound to their initial shape after providing a secure interference fit with the pistol grip of the assault weapon. A lower holster bracket in an approximate U shape is adapted to engage and support the magwell of an assault weapon and attaches to lower MOLLE webbing of the tactical vest.
