A holster is a case, usually leather, made to hold a small gun close to the body so you can pull it out quickly. People wear it on a belt at the hip, or sometimes under the arm. Police and soldiers use holsters; in films, cowboys do too. Though actually, the word has stretched: a phone holster or a tool holster is just a snug case worn on a belt, with no gun at all. Holster is also a verb: to holster a gun is to put it back in the case. The noun is the one you meet most. It sounds practical and a bit official — news about police, crime stories — more than kitchen-table talk.
槍套；手槍皮套
組成From Dutch holster (“pistol-case”), from Middle Low German holster, from Old Saxon, back to Proto-Germanic words for a hull, case, or covering.
