Like not just cops' but arent most holsters with saftey features built to be difficult for anyone but the wearer to access smoothly?

I'm not an enthusiast or anything and could be wrong, just an impression I've gotten over the years.

Most are actually just two pieces of leather with an optimistic outline of a pistol stamped into one side. No special devices at all.

I'm sure some cops somewhere still do that, but I can't remember the last time I saw a uniformed patrol officer not using some kind of retention holster. Even the old fashion leather holsters had thumbsnaps every time I've seen them for the kind of role.

A duty holster will have a retention lock of some kind, usually a thumblock or button. Thats what you'd expect a uniformed patrol officer to use on a belt kit. A detective or some other LEO that wears more business casual clothes or formal clothes will more likely to have a holster without a retention, but they aren't normally making traffic stops.

Not really worth a deep dive since the story is made up in the first place.
