This guide details a training drill focused on testing weapon retention, as demonstrated by Instructor Mike. It emphasizes that duty holsters must actively resist unauthorized removal, akin to the user resisting an aggressor. The drill simulates a 'gun grab' scenario to evaluate the holster's effectiveness under duress, highlighting the importance of retention mechanisms like Safariland's ALS and SLS systems for law enforcement and duty carry.

This guide covers the selection and use of tactical style holsters, distinguishing them from concealed carry options. It details key features like OWB design, various ride heights, active retention systems (ALS, SLS), and modular attachment options (QLS). The importance of matching holsters to specific firearm configurations, including weapon lights and optics, is emphasized, with Safariland recommended as an industry standard. Proper draw technique and safety considerations are also highlighted.
