Like many a new gamer before me, I've made my way to Etsy to find some pre-made pieces that I can use for our upcoming game! When it comes to holsters, there are lots of options if you want to go with leather, but not so many for a more modern/tactical set up. However, I did find one store that makes such a rig, and for cheaper than leather (and much snazzier than the Blastersmith UK ones).
He had ones pre-made for a Maverick, and even the damn Retaliator rifle. So, if you want something tactical without having to tear apart some airsoft/actual gun gear:
https://www.etsy.com/people/apexweaponsystemsI got a drop-leg holster for my Sweet Revenge/Hammershot (Marcus, the shop owner made it after a couple of questions from me), for $25 bucks. That's a better price than even the Army/Navy stores 'round Boston have.

I made a holster that fits the little one shot nerf perfectly out of an empty body wash bottle and duct tape. Unfortunately I don't wear a belt, so it's pretty useless...

I used unmodified airsoft holsters, works perfectly with my cosmetically modded pistols.
I used Nerf Firestrikes and did some cosmetic moddes to them to look slightly more realistic and slim down the excess Nerf accesory stuff. I cut and filed off the excess plastic for the flash light and extra dart storage and glued balsa wood and modeling puddy to seal i (so it looks like one solid piece. Resulted in looking like a modern pistol (Think a Glock).

I got one of these:
It fits the Nerf Strongarm perfectly.
I also got a Nerf Rebelle Sweet Revenge. It is very girlie, but some Black vinyl dye should fix that. But it comes with a holster which fits the gun perfectly and can be seen here:
The Sweet Revenge is also cockable with a single hand which could allow one to dual wield them.

@SomeDude,That Grab-it bag is awesome. I might have to pick up one of those just as a matter of course. I often turn myself into a human packmule.
I have a Sweet Revenge and a Hammershot (the "Boy" version from the Zombie line), but I'm only painting the Hammershot black. My character's name is Sally for Christ's sake, so I'm keeping mine pink-and-purple. At AD2, somebody asked about it, and I said "I had this baby lacquered in my favorite colors, all custom like!"
And, if I owned a Smith & Wesson .500, I would totally do that. I'm currently using an over-the-shoulder pistol bag as a drop-leg holster- with the stock one that comes wit the Sweet Revenge, it just felt like I was always going to lose the whole thing.
Alas, for Lovecraft Legacies later this year, I'll go with the blacked out Hammershot.
@Adam that sounds so damn cool. I'm not quiet competent enough in decking out my guns yet (skill level: spray paint and electrical tape), but that's something I wouldn't mind giving a go with some of the Jolts I have. At Lovecraft 2, our friend Steve had modded the gun you use to have a longer barrel and a wooden handle, as well, to make them look more like revolvers.
@Kristina- I had thought of doing something similar, with tape and a pasta container! I still want to make some shoulder-holsters for my one-shots, so perhaps it's an idea worth revisiting...
