6 . The universal mount system of claim 1 , wherein the accessory mount is a holster mount, and wherein the accessory is a holster.
7 . The universal mount system of claim 1 , wherein the accessory further comprises a second cavity disposed on a second surface of the accessory, wherein the second cavity is configured to couple to the t-slot.
8 . The universal mount system of claim 1 , wherein the universal mount further comprises:
a frame; and
at least one wing coupled to the frame, wherein the at least one wing is in a different plane than the frame, and wherein the at least one wing is configured to couple to at least one securing mechanism of a mounting item.
9 . The universal mount system of claim 8 , wherein the universal mount further comprises apertures disposed on the frame that are configured to couple to straps, loops, and/or ties of the mounting item.
10 . A universal mount system comprising:
a universal mount;
an accessory mount configured to be coupled to the universal mount, wherein the accessory mount is configured to be coupled in multiple orientations; and
an accessory coupled to the accessory mount,
wherein the accessory mount comprises:
a central portion comprising protrusions radially spaced around a central hole;
a first wing extending from the central portion comprising a t-slot; and
a second wing extending from the central portion comprising a hook, and
wherein the accessory comprises:
a cavity disposed on a first surface of the accessory; and
an offset disposed on the first surface of the accessory, wherein the cavity is configured to couple with the t-slot, and wherein the offset is configured to couple with the hook.
11 . The universal mount system of claim 10 , wherein the universal mount further comprises:
a frame; and
at least one wing coupled to the frame, wherein the at least one wing is in a different plane than the frame, and wherein the at least one wing is configured to couple to at least one securing mechanism of a mounting item.
12 . The universal mount system of claim 11 , wherein the universal mount further comprises apertures disposed on the frame that are configured to couple to straps, loops, and/or ties of the mounting item.
13 . The universal mount system of claim 10 , wherein the accessory mount further comprises a second t-slot disposed on the central portion.
14 . The universal mount system of claim 10 , further comprising a mounting item coupled to the universal mount.
15 . The universal mount system of claim 10 , wherein the accessory mount is a holster mount, and wherein the accessory is a holster.
16 . The universal mount system of claim 10 , wherein the t-slot extends from the first wing to the central portion.
17 . A universal mount system comprising:
a universal mount;
an accessory mount configured to be coupled to the universal mount, wherein the accessory mount is configured to be coupled in multiple orientations; and
an accessory coupled to the accessory mount,
wherein the accessory mount comprises:
a central portion comprising protrusions radially spaced around a central hole;
a first wing extending from the central portion comprising a t-slot; and
a second wing extending from the central portion comprising an offset, and
wherein the accessory comprises:
a cavity disposed on a first surface of the accessory; and
a hook disposed on the first surface of the accessory, wherein the cavity is configured to couple with the t-slot, and wherein the hook is configured to couple with the offset.
18 . The universal mount system of claim 17 , further comprising a mounting item coupled to the universal mount.
19 . The universal mount system of claim 17 , wherein the accessory mount is a holster mount, and wherein the accessory is a holster.
20 . The universal mount system of claim 17 , wherein the accessory further comprises a second hook disposed on a second surface of the accessory, wherein the second hook is configured to couple with the offset.
