It varies. Even in Zyuranger, the personal weapons were there when needed without the need for a holster (though Zyuranger 43 had Geki pull the Ryugekiken from the holster area)!
I think it depends on the team and the suit design and the particular weapon. Gokaiger didn't have holsters, and virtually nobody faults them for it. Holsters probably wouldn't have worked for those designs anyway.
Holsters might make sense on the actual show, but when you translate that design into a figure, then that same holster could restrict how one poses that figure.
The Kakuranger designs had their blades stored in sheaths/scabbards on their backs, and that particular design choice made sense for them and compensated for any issue with posing a figure based on those designs (be it a Kakuranger or Alien Ranger figure).
It gets more complicated when you consider those with two holsters, like Ohranger. Were two holsters really necessary, or is Ohranger forgivable in that regard? They probably weren't the first to do it, and definitely not the last. DekaRed had two holsters if memory served, but the others had one (as their grip thingy just clipped to the belt on the opposite side).
It all varies. No singular answer in my mind.
