Good advice Trodog. A friend of mine responded to a domestic a few weeks ago. to make a long story short. He got into an unexpected wrestling match with the perp who managed to pull his parka up over Brian's head exposing his oc,baton and sidearm and effectively trapping Brian's arms.
Brian let go of the perp with his strong hand and punched the guy 3 times dropping him.
He then tried for  his oc but couldn't get it out. So he went for a carotid choke hold but his hand wouldn't function. Back-up arrive and after they got the perp cuffed and stuffed Brian examined his hand. It was cut bad and one knuckle was up near his wrist. The local PD carries the Safariland model 070 SS III holster. As far as I know drawing with their weak hand isn't in their training regime.

Thanks for your words Trodog. The ironic part is..a few days after this incident another friend on the force contacted me about our policy on cell extractions. They had a guy go bad in one of their holding cells and had no way to deal with him. Another member of our ERT and I went to the station and after looking at the holding cells and the tools they have to work with,gave him some suggestions. One thing we looked at is their use of force policy. Talk about archaic. Physical handling is 3 levels before oc spray. I couldn't believe it. On our use of force oc is before physical handling. Also all they have for oc is the first defense mk 3 and mk 9. I suggested they try and get the T-16 flameless oc grenade. It has less grams of oc but is much more effective in a confined space like a cell. It doesn't matter what the perp does to try and defend against it..it will get him cause he has to breath. [:)]
If their use of force allowed for oc before physical handling..Brian wouldn't be laid up like he is.
