   A sidearm refers to a weapon, typically a firearm such as a pistol or handgun, that is worn on the body in a holster or other equipment positioned on the side. It is intended for personal defense and is secondary to a person's main weapon. The term can also relate to a manner of throwing in sports like baseball where the player throws the ball with an action coming from the side of their body.

1. Sidearm

   In baseball, sidearm describes balls thrown along a low, approximately horizontal axis rather than a high, mostly vertical axis. Sidearm is a common way of throwing the ball in the infield, because many throws must be made hurriedly from the glove after fielding ground balls. An infielder’s quickest throw to the bases is often from just above ground level, necessitating a horizontal release of the ball. Sidearm pitchers, also known as sidewinders, are uncommon at all levels of baseball. Few find sidearm a natural delivery, and those who do are often discouraged by coaches who know little about sidearm mechanics, and who believe that overhand pitching affords greater velocity. This is generally true, since a high release point uses gravity to accelerate the ball, even as air resistance works to slow it. With a low sidearm release the ball is slowed threefold: by gravity, increased distance, and air resistance. But what the sidearm pitcher loses in velocity, he gains in ball movement and unusual release point.
