A Surprising Problem(A little OT)

Ahem. Back on topic. The last time I looked at statting out holsters in game terms (Shooter's Guide: Undercover Arms*), I ignored specific brands and went for general classes - ankle, belt, pocket, retention, shoulder, tactical, undergarment, and belly band. Then I got into off-body carry modes like concealed carry purses. But both of the systems for which I was writing stats - Reflex and Spycraft 2.0 - were more detailed than T2k when it came to the kinds of fiddly bits where holster design might matter. In 1.0/2.0/2.2, the initiative system doesn't really support differentiating stuff like the relative draw speeds of different holster designs.
