OC'er disarmed

[rhino]

The thief's been watching too many movies. Notice that he immediately racked the slide after getting the gun in his hand.

Racking the slide when you acquire a foreign weapon that you may need to use immediately is pretty standard procedure in real life. I know some instructors who teach racking the slide on a gun immediately after a disarm, for example, which is essentially what happened here (albeit the disarmer was the bad guy).

Edit to: forget the whacking the magazine on the base before racking the slide above.

A whole other thing to keep in mind for [STRIKE]OCers[/STRIKE] everyone who carries a gun if the guy was targeted/cased.

FIFY!

Why people don't use retention holsters is beyond me.

Hell, after they buy the gun you can barely squeeze enough pennies out of them to purchase even an Uncle Mike’s, or Fobus sausage sack to carry it in, much less a quality holster.

I think there's a joke in here somewhere about how if the guy was CCing it wouldn't have happened, because half the time CCers can't get the pistol out of the holster that easily....



(Full disclosure, I CC 99.9% of the time.)

I wonder if it was a case of polymer gun in an uncohesive polymer holster and a casual gun owner (CGO) ? Bad mix if it was.

Troops only take wallets, not firearms.

Now if the kid did a press check it would really have impressed me!

I wonder if I should start a charity for people that cannot afford a holster?

You probably couldn’t give it away free enough!

I am a fan of OC as well as the speed holsters for faster deployment and tend towards the kydex of Mr. Dale Fricke, but this does give me pause as to CC vs OC and the addition of a retention system. My Problem with retention is that it tends to make the holster unbearably large (blackhawk systems) or the training speed and fumbling I just havent trained out yet for regular retention styles.

Perhaps situational awareness is far better than re-training retentions etc. With all of the importance of situational awareness is there any classes or methods of training this better? We are all human...(debatable sometimes..)

C’mon man, just because you can’t make it work for the antiques, doesn’t make it bad.Someone mentioned retention, I simply provide the answer in the form ofwhat is currently the safest, best, concealed carry active retention system on the market.

The great OC/CC/Safariland/Blackhawk debate.

Only criminals OC.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the ONLY retention holster that exists.

Anyone who carries a Blackhawk holster has little to no training and education in the way of carrying a firearm. If that statement made you upset, then you have little to no training and education in the way of carrying a firearm.

I have personally seen Blackhawk holsters fail, and they fail hard. Do yourself a favor, if you use a Blackhawk, destroy it, and buy a real holster.
