==Behind the scenes==
Holdout is a term for concealing and hiding cards on one's body. Additionally, a holdout gun is another name used to refer to a pocket-pistol or derringer: handguns of very small size and caliber, making them easy to conceal, and meant to be used in emergencies or situations where conventional weapons are inaccessible.
==Bugs==
 If the player convinces him to sell improved holdout weapons with the Sneak check, his inventory does not change.
