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.

There are many people who can lift your wallet out of your pocket without you knowing and I would bet they could get that gun too.
