ELi5: In a wild west movie or game, when a gunslinger puts their revolver into their holster it often makes a “click”. (for example in Red Dead Redemption 2). Would this happen in real life, and if so, what is it caused by?

A revolver in a leather hoster: no. It’s just a gun shaped leather cone that the gun sits in. There might be a retaining strap over the top that can he snapped or buckled.
Many modern plastic holsters have retaining devices that click in to secure modern firearms.
