Ah, forgot to clarify: It wasn't a drop-leg holster, it was a canvas belt holster. The barrel of the Beretta dug into the side of my hip/thigh whenever I crouched or squatted. I later got a thigh holster instead, which was better, but I still got annoyed at the way the gun bounced around so much (because I had very thin legs back then).

Like you, I eventually decided sidearms were unnecessary for skirmishes. I died too quickly, plus not carrying a sidearm meant I could carry more mags for the M16A2.
