After years of being assigned to investigations, I’ve started a new, mostly administrative type duty that requires a uniform and duty gear. I put up the concealment gear and have been practicing with a duty belt, which means magazines with a snap release and a level two holster.
Any timed drills involving a draw or reloads have predictably resulted in slower times (not that I was ever fast to begin with). I’m going to continue to work on getting better, but how much will age and equipment realistically affect what I can do (I’m 55, with some of the expected wear and tear that goes with being on the job for nearly 30 years)?
