Some are valid, some are dangerous and some will get you killed. The reason is that some weapon retention techniques are designed to work against “the act of grabbing your gun” not the reason for doing so. Such tactics will only work in the best case secanrios as in training. My two pence.

I agree 100% with your comment! I really like your idea that "some weapon retention techniques are designed to work against the act of grabbing your gun not the reason for doing so" Well said!
