Guns Up pistol training is taught from the holster and magazine pouches while standing.  In the case of revolvers, it would be from the holster, speed loader pouches and cartridge loops while standing. There are some example photos illustrated on this page.

 

Guns Up recommends products made from Kydex materials. Kydex is like plastic or polymer. The holsters are specifically molded to fit a specific pistol (semi-autos and revolvers). The magazine pouches are also specific to the pistol model because not all magazines are the same size. The holsters and magazine pouches are available online (eBay and Amazon) and are reasonably priced.
