Never used in a sentence.
Cultural notes:
KGT 56: The disruptor pistol, when not in use, may be carried in a holster, or {vaH}, worn on the side of the body and attached to the belt.
KGT 63: When not in use, knives are carried in sheathes worn on the side of the body, connected to the belt. The word for this sheath is {vaH}, the same as the word for holster but surely representing an older meaning of the term.
KGT 58: A skin belt ({qogh}) both held pants ({yopwaH}) in place and provided a place from which to hang weapons or weapon holders.
There's a good photo of a holster in KGT p. 68 (ill.)
