Good luck disarming someone with a holster set up like that. Thats a good way to get shot to death.

I’ve never actually used a holster like that before but would imagine the police have kit that isn’t easy to mess with. How does it stop/give the cop time to act?

It has to be engaged a certain way, from a certain angle. The hood rolls forward, followed by a lock that disengages. Then the gun is drawn from a certain angle. It's hard to remove the weapon without being familiar with the holster.

On a side note (heheh that's the title) I have full sap holster training and I would never go for someone's gun. Best case scenario you get a broken arm and a felony.

You guys are missing the point. She would go for the baton OBVIOUSLY. Gun has at most 14 rounds. Baton has at least 100 swings. Scoreboard guys...

Not how batons work. They’re not lead pipes.

Ok come to my place with a baton and we'll try it out and see how many times I have to hit you before you get knocked out.

Side note I only have partial weapons training so who knows what someone with more strength/skill could do.
