      Emily G Retweeted Red T Raccoon

      In the fourth photo in this series the Border Patrol officer is wearing a Safariland ALS Level 3 retention holster with the first two retention levels disabled. There's no apparent reason for this.https://twitter.com/RedTRaccoon/status/1008733237294878726 …

      Unless, perhaps, he's looking for a reason to quickly draw and shoot the child.

      Retention holsters make it so you have to be more deliberate to unholster a weapon. A Level 1 holster requires a single action to draw the weapon. Level 2 requires 2, Level 3 requires 3, etc. This holster has three actions to remove the weapon.

      The strap that you can see on the agent in the background is the same basic concept. That strap isn't just a strap. There's a button that you have to press first, then you can push the strap forward. Those are the first 2 "levels," though they can be done in 1 action really.

      Snapping forward the strap means there's only one level left. There's *really* no good reason to do this. The other agent hasn't. One thing you should be able to recognize is when cops are making their guns more available.

      The thing is, tho, retention holsters are for the gun-wearer's safety. They exist so that it's really hard to grab a gun from a cop. You have to know exactly how to do it. And it's hard to do it because of how the buttons are aligned.

      So when a cop disables two safety mechanisms, it puts himself and others at further risk. The strap being forward is also visible, as if daring someone to try to go for the gun. These cops know what they're doing when they do that.

          Replying to @EmilyGorcenski

          Slight correction: The hood only makes up one level of retention. The second level is an internal lock on the ejection port that is always engaged. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0RqLxwbxncA&time_continue=50# … I still agree with your sentiment, but I thought I'd point it out before the "It's not a clip" crowd does.
