(3,201 posts)I only see one video and there's some guy in it calls himself Ted, but he is using a different last name. Seems to have altered his appearance quite a bit too.
What that video does reinforce is that injudicious equipment changes can cause confusion, and confusion can result in disaster. This is especially true when working under pressure or duress.
Retention holsters are, and have been for over 30 years, routinely used by police departments to reduce the chances of an officer having his pistol snatched from his holster or it coming loose in a scuffle.
The days of a simple safety strap holster for a uniformed officer are about as outmoded as high button shoes. Almost every PD suffers a spate of incidents after a major equipment change. It also points to the folly of standing in front of the gun safe like Imelda perusing shoes trying to decide what you're going to wear today.
