I've been following the details of Detective McGilvery’s tragic passing, and something that's been on my mind is the design of the equipment and holsters used by law enforcement, especially back in the '70s. I can’t help but wonder if McGilvery's revolver accidentally falling from its holster was due to a flaw in the design or wear and tear after years of use. It's a chilling reminder of how crucial the right equipment is for the safety of officers. Given the hazardous nature of their work, any small issue can lead to catastrophic outcomes. My thoughts go out to Detective McGilvery's family, especially his wife and young son. It must be incredibly difficult for them, knowing his life was cut short, not by the hands of a suspect, but an unfortunate twist of fate. Has anyone ever heard if there were changes made to holster designs following incidents like this?
