I Think He Needs a Better Holster

It's never a good thing to be staring down the barrel of your own gun.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Man arrested after attempting to shoot police chief with his own gun

Authorities have arrested the man believed to have broken into Maypearl city hall and attempted to shoot the town’s police chief with his own gun...

...According to the probable cause affidavit, Chief Lester Taylor sat at his desk at city hall about 5:30 a.m. Sept. 15 when a man, later identified by police as Mr. Powell, broke through a door. He told the chief that he was in an “accident” and needed help.

Chief Taylor asked to see the man’s driver’s license, and the pair walked to an adjoining garage area. That’s when Mr. Powell wrestled the chief’s gun away and pointed it at him.

Mr. Powell pulled the trigger of the Browning 9mm several times, but the gun never fired, according to the affidavit. It’s unclear why the loaded gun didn’t go off.

First I would offer that Chief Taylor could make good use of a Blackhawk Level 3 SERPA Auto Lock Duty Holster.

If the Chief had this holster on his side, the goblin would not have gotten the pistol.

The next thing I found interesting was the fact that "Mr. Powell pulled the trigger of the Browning 9mm several times, but the gun never fired..." I'll just about bet you that Chief Taylor was carrying a Hi-Power and the goblin couldn't figure out the thumb safety. If the Chief had been carrying a Glock, he might very well be dead right now.

Update: I have confirmed that the pistol was a Browning Hi Power.
