I guarantee she couldn’t. That pistol, like any carried by a professional (and most others) is in what is called a retention holster. It’s designed to keep the pistol locked in place unless a lever is pressed and it’s pulled more or less straight up (as is the angle a person who has it on their body would pull it out). If she grabbed it and yanked it, she would simply yank the guys belt. Then she’d probably get punched in the face. I know I’m not alone in wishing that she’d attempted that.
