1: steel slides will probably be the most ideal requirement for this (if not steel sides)
2: electromagnets can be turned on and off, so unholstering it won't be too difficult.
3: they already have magnetic holsters in the US, but those are mounting holsters meant for concealing your handgun under a desk or something of the like.

(That being said, it always depends on the design you have in mind, but I'm not sure it'd work because of the low (very, very low, like .08%, if there's any) of iron in these guns, but also because there would probably be iron dust (ferrite?) that would stick to it while crawling or getting low in any way.

I'm an electromechanical engineering student, I know how magnets work: we did an entire course on them (motors). Iron dust does not cause problems: it just makes the magnet bigger (but does not change the intensity of the magnetic field itself).
