I thought about using the boot holster and converting it to a hip/thigh holster and using the holdout blaster. What is everyone else doing? Don't the Imperials use some type of pistol?

I figure that Commandos have a bit of leeway as far as choice of weapons is concerned - also depending on what is available in their respective armories. But ever since I have taken an interest in the clone commandos and their commanders, I have really taken a liking to their blaster pistols. So I am thinking that is what I am wanting to to. I, myself wouldn't go with the DH-17 just because it is a blaster carbine. And you already have that in the E-11. From what I can gather from the reference above the Storm Commando has (1) blaster carbine (e-11), (1) blaster pistol and have been known to also carry sniper rifles or bazookas (or lack of a better word for that weapon). - Bill

You can always use cool stuff in non canon events but to get into the Legion you need to remove all of it and use just the approved options

Advanced Member Posts: 217 Group: Members Member #105 Joined: May 15, 2006	Well, until there is a ruling on the "required" blaster pistol, I will be using something akin of the clone commando pistols. You say to use the scout pistol, ok, but the reference pic doesn't really resemble a scout pistol. So, again, I will be using something else. Besides, I am already 501st with my TI. This TX is just something that I wish to add to the costuming mix!

Can't see the holster too clearly there, but that's the belt.
