Currently sidearms/pistols are not visible at all on the character model unless equipped. This is despite most of the characters having a drop-leg holster on their uniform, which is empty at all times.
It would be great to see a unit's assigned (but not equipped) pistol actually in the unit's holster when playing.
I understand this may present some modelling and poly complications but would make a really great addition to the immersion (just like working fire selector switches on the rifles)
