I have been getting more and more students in the past few years that are being taught or self learning from YTU that when they barney up they leave the loaded cocked gun in the holster while they remove or insert a topped magazine. I have ran across this occasionally also in the shooting sports as well. As a matter of fact 18 years ago I tried to get IDPA to deal with this in the rulebook and they declined to take a position. This trend IMHO is a happening waiting for an accident. Also trying to manipulate a firearm without presentation is counterproductive to learning good gun handling skills. While some trainers support this, the time it may save on a bulk firing line is not worth the sloppy gun handling that one learns from it. It is even more dangerous with the advent of many current plastic holster designs as I have seen retention failures on occasion. If we compromise on equipment the cohesion of gun and holster is questionable at best let alone reaching around our round bellies as a contortionist to manipulate a cocked loaded gun that we can professionally handle otherwise. Any thoughts on this? Just asking?
