C.M. Kruger posted:One of the guys from Forgotten Weapons got their hands on that Spetsnaz "shoot your own leg" holster I posted a while back, it doesn't seem to offer much advantage for the added danger. This is a cool design that replaces one risk with another. If the weapon is holstered safely, there should not be an issue with having a chambered round. The idea of this, is to eliminate the relatively slow process of racking the slide manually on draw. However, the holster doesn't make sense if the operator must call on the weapon while in a sitting position, possibly leaving them at a response disadvantage. The Youtube comments called out the logical reason for this design--compatibility with laws and policy requiring the weapon to have a clear chamber.

Seems like it would be faster if you put it on sideways, with the gun pointing forward. Bonus OSHA for muzzlesweeping everyone you face.

Nothing like the subtle intimidating of having a gun pointed at the groin during casual face to face conversation.

If you the gun goes off in the holster and hits someone, is that negative draw time?

There's been exactly one instance where Condition Three carry has been justified: Israel did (not sure if they still do) because their army was equipped with a random hodgepodge of guns that they could acquire from any source imaginable, so they mandated it because it would be impossible to train everyone on handling the safety of every pistol and remembering which one you're carrying at all times. Mandating it otherwise is trying to replace proper training with worse equipment or worse deployment in the hope that it makes accidents harder. The NYPD does something similar. The cops are so notoriously bad at not shooting themselves and other people (I've read accounts from the 50s and 60s of them just playing with loaded guns) that all NYPD sidearms have an 11-pound trigger that's almost impossible to squeeze by accident. It also makes the gun really hard to shoot accurately, so when they do fire they tend to spray bullets at random in an urban area and hit bystanders.

Ugly In The Morning posted:There was an active shooter at the Empire State Building in 2012, where the shooter shot one person and the NYPD shot nine. It was insane. It wasn't even an "active shooter." It was a guy who ambushed his former coworker and killed him after being laid off, then walked away. When the two cops confronted him, he didn't even get a single shot off. The NYPD specifically shot 3 bystanders directly with 16 rounds (so an average of 4 rounds per person hit), while the other 6 took fragmentation or ricochet injuries. There's security camera footage and the cops are less than 10 yards away from him.

Zopotantor posted:Let me guess: he was charged with 10 counts of murder. He died. The NYPD did charge a mentally disturbed man with assault with a deadly weapon a few years later when he began jumping through traffic with his hand in his pocket and a cop panicked and started shooting, accidentally hitting two people on the sidewalk instead. If I remember correctly, the charges didn't go forward but he ended up in jail anyway for actually murdering someone years later.

He lived with his girlfriend in Union City, New Jersey and was a vice president at Hazan Imports. He was a 1992 graduate of the State University of New York at Oneonta. Ercolino's brother, Paul, said that Steven never mentioned having any problems with a co-worker and described him, along with others that knew him, as a gregarious, outgoing family man. Shockingly, the man who abruptly murdered a coworker in broad daylight turned out to be a crazy guy who threatened to kill his coworker multiple times!

I have a feeling the antivax crowd will be misrepresenting this pretty hardcore over the next few years: A cattle worker accidentally injected his finger with the cow rotavirus/coronavirus/e. coli vaccine, ended up losing a finger  Analogous to Hydraulic Injection Injury, one of my least favourite image search terms. https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1476-069X-4-21

I rotated the image so he was horizontal just to check...it does indeed seem like he's hanging off a wall...how the gently caress is he doing this with sandals? I've got so many questions.

Yeah no one's actually getting up there without appropriate footwear. Also, it was taken in the Grampian Mountains in Victoria, Australia. Sorry to say it but those are thongs.

You don't even have to be that fast. A complaint against holsters outside your pants is that if someone goes to grab the gun the reaction is to hold it downward into the holster. If the thief then pushes down with you they can break the holster and then they have control of the gun (and what's left of the holster). This thing skips right to the end.
