Hawaii Five-O and the tacticool vest

[Regionnus Rattis]

If you have "issues" watching a TV show, for crying out loud, don't watch it! I like watching Grace Park in her tacticool bikini much better!

 

[Gabriel]

Uhhh...

I guess I do not understand the issues that some have with the placement of the holster on this vest system. Or apparently with the same issues some have with shoulder rigs.

I don't either. That's how one of my vests is set up for work.

 

[Hornett]

Well it didn't bother me unitl the episode where he pointed his SIG RIGHT AT Grace Park while reholstering and I though WHOA! Wait a minute!
At the training class I went to, they not allow cross draw or shoulder holsters because people paint the shooter beside them.

And the problem?!

See I would have a problem with that attitude at a class. The purpose of the class is training, right.

I would be interested to see what the % of NDs are broken down to by holster types when involved...

 

[Hornett]

I don't think its a question of more ND's.
It is more of where a gun is pointing when a ND does occur with a shoulder holster.

Don't take my consternation the wrong way.
I don't have anything against shoulder holsters or tacticool vests with holster on them.
I do think that you have to take an extra measure of caution when you use one.
Like when you reholster your SIG, don't stand on the right side of the hot babe.
Or anyone else, for that matter.
Make sure no one is standing there, THEN reholster.

See, personally I think no matter what holster a person chooses to use an extra measure of caution should be used.

 

[Roadie]

I like the show, but as with MOST cop shows on TV, they REALLY need to spend more time on realistic weapons handling. For example, I was watching NCIS:LA and Hetty was at the firing range, using the index finger from BOTH hands on the trigger of her revolver..

 

[Hornett]

Well, it was probably a Kel Tec P-11 and it took both fingers for her to pull that 45 lb trigger.

The Kel Tec P11 comes in a revolver now?

 

[Hornett]

No, just a revolver trigger.

 

[Eddie]

I never noticed...to busy admiring Kono.

Yep same problem here. I could care less about the tactical issues in the show as long as Grace Park is on the screen.

 

[Hornett]

Well see, thats when I noticed.
He pointed hi gun AT Grace Park while reholstering.
And I was like
