I get what you mean, Weltall, but were you playing MGS1 original version like that? I mean, there if you pulled out your weapon you couldn't just put it away without disarming either. Anway, remember that the Y button will lower your weapon when it's pulled out. Oh wait, first person mode. Yeah, you can't unequip with the equip button there since it does something else, but you can just let go of Z. Hmm, I never did try using Y in first person mode while aiming. Probably would work. Anyway, since I thought to do that early on, I got used to it quickly. You are exactly right though that the MGS2 (PS2 version, I have no idea how the XBox version does things, likey the same way as Twin Snakes) method is just plain better.
