Hip Holster

Equipment (Weapon and Armor Accessories)

Holsters are generally available for all Medium or smaller weapons. (Larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps, hangers, or baldrics that cost as much as a hip holster.) A holster for a melee weapon is usually called a sheath.

Hip Holster

This holster holds the weapon in an easily accessed-and easily seen-location.

Concealed Holster

A concealed holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight (see the Stealth skill) . In most cases, this is a shoulder holster (the weapon fits under the wearer's armpit, presumably beneath a jacket, vest, or cloak). Small or Tiny weapons and single-bladed lightsabers can be carried in concealed waistband holsters (often placed inside the wearer's waistband in the small of the back). Tiny weapons and single-bladed lightsabers can also be carried in ankle, boot, or wrist holsters.

A concealed holster allows you to draw a concealed weapon as a move action instead of a standard action, but you take a -5 penalty on your Stealth check to conceal the weapon.
