Holsters
A pistol you can reach
Short answer
Belt kit. A sidearm that isn't a backpack fumble in a doorway.
Also: holster
How it works
Holsters put a pistol on the hip. Worth a slot of clothing.
What to do
Wear one if you carry a pistol you can feed.
Don't
Don't holster a rifle as a bit — it will not work.
