How to holster weapon? Happens if you go in water -- can do voluntarily?

[Echo38 1]

I've found that by entering the water deep enough that your character holsters his pistol, then leaving the water, you can run around on land with your pistol holstered. This allows you to sprint quite a bit faster (~5 kph, about 25% faster, with a light load). However, finding a beach so that I can holster my pistol is naturally a kludgy method at best and impossible under most circumstances. Anyone know how to voluntarily holster my pistol and/or put my rifle on my back so that I can run faster? I currently use the workaround of putting my pistol into my vest or uniform in my inventory, but this isn't the same. It doesn't work as well, because I have to open my inventory to draw my pistol, which takes longer than drawing it when it's holstered with the "water method." It also now requires free space in my vest or uniform (the "water method" doesn't, which makes sense, since a holster isn't part of your vest or uniform pockets and thus shouldn't be counted as such). Furthermore, there's no way to do this with a rifle unless you have enough free space in your backpack. Solutions? Workarounds?

It's too bad you can't do this, it would be a natural option if you have a sling for your weapon (and you could just tuck your pistol into your waistband if you don't have a holster:P). And since it's already possible here, it couldn't be too hard for BI to implement. But you know how that usually turns out haha.

In OFP you could.
