There is a reason why holster exist. Something could get caught and it could accidentally fire or they could simply fall. So the gun should fall off you if you trip like how hats do at the very least.

May i suggest instead of require vanilla belt to work, how about just make it as default slot like back slot? I use other belt mod so it may not work, same as other player may use other type of belt too, also because u only need pant to put the gun in it, not the belt anyway

For those suggesting a risk of discharge when falling over in game.

The biggest risk of small-the-back (SOB) carry isn't negligent or accidental discharges (ND and AD) though you do have a increased risk of the former, but spinal injuries from falling. It's also a slow and not particularly safe draw that isn't well suited to asymmetric positions. Pretty much the only people who SOB carry these days are people who learned it from pop culture and don't know any better. Anyone who's serious about gun handling doesn't do it. That said, it was much more popular and much less frowned upon in the 90s during the time the game takes place.

Appendix carry (AIWB) is a vastly superior choice. Much faster draw, relatively safe with a good holster, and conceals extremely well. The concerned about shooting yourself in a sensitive area is mitigated with good quality holsters and not putting your finger on the trigger inappropriately. Appendix carry in various forms has been used for as long as there's been a handguns of some sort. It's always had an appeal to experienced gunfighters (with a round in the chamber) on what ever side of the law they may be on. And extremely popular with the less experienced criminal crowd (typically carried without a round in the chamber) both now and historically. But it's mainstream popularity and holster product support is a relatively new phenomenon, maybe about 15 years.

Both SOB and AIWB can be accomplished with and without holsters. Obviously a proper holster is the safest option. But note that all the vanilla handguns are relatively safe to carry. The revolvers are all DA with one DA/SA so they have long and heavy trigger pulls. The semi autos all have multiple internal and external safeties. The M9 and the desert eagle inspired vanilla handguns have slide mounted safeties. The 1911 has the frame mounted safety lever and the rear grip safety and is specifically designed to be carried ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and locked in condition 1. And the 90s had similar standards of trigger discipline to what we enjoy now.


Which is all a long way of saying great mod!

Good addition and one that fits the setting and time period of the game well. I don't think we need an ND or AD mechanic tied to this. It's not particularly authentic. But a risk of injury from falling on one's back wouldn't be a bad addition in my opinion. Appendix carry would be great to see as an alternate mod. And new in-game holster items for SOB and AIWB would be pretty cool. If nothing else it would help clean up the side of the character model by not having your belt tools and your sidearms clipping into each other.

Only suggestion for making compatible with mods like Scrap Armor or *ahem* Wasteland Canid's Tactical Pack which both add different kinds of belts. The latter of the two adding standalone thigh holsters.

Of course you can't wear the vanilla belt with this, so players would be missing out.

Suggestion for a work around- maybe a standalone holster item that allows for an extra item to be placed.

CCW Holster might work as a name, I dunno. Other than that, I love it.

we NEED a front version, gangsta

Could you do this mod compatible with the mod: Better belts?
zebra03 26 Jan, 2024 @ 11:12pm 
make it that you can accidentally shoot yourself in the back(with low shooting skill) due to accidental discharge or clothing getting caught on the safety for example

Optional setting of course

Hello, can you add translation string in cp1251 encoding? Thanks for the mod!
IGUI_RU = { IGUI_HotbarAttachment_LowerBack = "Ремень (сзади)", }

Sick mod but I think it just makes most holsters obsolete. Just make it so you have a random chance for the gun to go off if its loaded when holstering or unholstering.

The option to hide the gun by tucking it under your coat would be cool. Untucked and you have a chance to drop it when climbing, and you can't draw when its tucked. Idk just a balance idea or a way to hide a gun for RP stuff.

Add ability to fire gun when tripping/falling over/climbing/sprinting/getting hit/fighting/doing exercise etc with a bullet in the chamber. Cause fire sound, 75% chance of bullet wound on player, and remove 1 round from pistol.
Please make the holstered animation clip into the pants to simulate that its in your pants.
Ciao il mio suggerimento sarebbe diviso in 3 parti.

1° inserire dei pannelli fotovoltaici creare energia magari anche con batteria di backup.
2° La cera sarebbe molto bello farsi candele, avere la possibilità di allevare api anche perché il miele e può essere utilizzato anche per curarsi.
3° questo non so se il gioco ti da la possibilità di farlo non lo capito,cambiare le finestre rotte oppure usare vetri a specchio e colorati.
spero di essere stato di aiuto, se fosse io uso la build 42 Grazie :steamthumbsup:
