We're here to make great holsters and educate anyone we can about that subject. We're not clued in to the inner-workings of the USSS or individual agents. We'd rather comment on what we know, which in this case is how to fit and train with a given piece of equipment.
Training is what will show if you are competent or not the holster appears too far back for the agents body shape & length of arm as she struggles to holster the weapon. Anyone who has carried a firearm will tell you there is such a thing as muscle memory which is what should be happening when holstering a firearm. A person carry a weapon should be able to holster it with their eyes closed in one swift movement. If they cannot get the basics right you have to question why they were employed & ask would you want them being your bodyguard ?
wjnr1, how many times have you revolted your handgun, in a suit, after a 100% life or death adrenaline dump? Like you just literally can’t train that, like I know that sucks, I wish we could, but we can’t.
@@internetrules8522 actually yes you can, they're trained to think and act under duress. Clearly the DEI agent falls way below what the minimum standard is for a secret service agent. Why are you making excuses for an agent that has no business being in the field.

@stephanparis6887 my friend a police officer killed by a felon who was out of prison killed my friend who murdered with a wife and a baby daughter who will grow up not knowing her father. Your comment shout how stupid you are.
People are dog piling on the Secret Service for lots of good reasons. There’s no excuse for the incompetence and even devious things that happened that day.
That day and video recording will be used for training purposes. What not to do and how many mistakes where made. There was a lot more mistakes than the excuse of high stressed situations. Not being efficient is what gets a person killed in that line of work.
women will never excel in high stress tolerance positions, end of story. this is a skill issue, but it's not her fault, it's the system that thinks women can function in that role.
@cagneybillingsley2165 A woman can function in that job, just that these woman are poor candidates, badly train, and probably never had proper exposure to the role. On that stress statement male/female both handle high stress situation completely different.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 That's not true. I know women who handle high stress situations perfectly fine... THIS particular female wasn't qualified to hold her position.
Just a thought, if you’re in the process of holstering your weapon, that should imply that the threat is over. If there is still an active threat, why would you holster? So, take the second to visually find your holster and properly put away your weapon so you don’t look silly or hurt yourself. It’s not a race to holster.
This was my thought too. I carry appendix and have never worried about shooting my parts off since holstering should be always done with patience and care.
In the training world this was an evolution that I saw over time. Some years back instructors would be adamant that you not take your eyes off the potential threat, even momentarily. Over time this changed to what you're describing, where it was realized that if you are reholstering then the threat has subsided and looking to your holster, even briefly, was worth the time it took to prevent an incident. Case in point, I once saw an instructor almost have an ND because he was unwilling to look at his holster and didn't realize his coat was stuck in that holster. One caveat I will make, is that a law enforcement officer making an arrest may be putting their firearm away while the suspect may no longer be an active threat, but could change back to an active threat. That officer may still need to go hands on with a suspect and need to reholster as part of that. Even in that case, a brief glance at the holster is possible (and more so in this event the agent is not going hands on to make an arrest).
So part of the problem besides her lack of skill was that she was over weight (built like a pear) which canted the top of the holster in towards her body……sorry..piling on here is justified…..she was protecting a persons life…….loose weight and train train train.
indeed, our tax dollars pay her and she was with JD Vance a couple days ago, not fired More piling is beyond justified, thinking otherwise is the ignorance lol
It’s like she never had to use her weapon in a stressful situation. Oh, yeah, that’s right; she never has. Shouldn’t that be a requirement for secrete service? And my God, get in shape if you are gonna protect the president.
For those who don’t know, that woman was actually the lead agent……😑😐🤨……and she was on the advance team that planned the thing. She was known to the campaign to be incompetent…..as we saw. However, it is also interesting that she was the one who made sure the counter sniper teams were there……even though they were not part of the advance team like usual, and they only got there like 1 day in advance. It was a complete disaster……my supposition is that she was chosen to be the lead agent because she was so incompetent she wouldn’t notice the purposeful security failures from higher up.
@@KittitasCountyTradingCo Probably much too generous….. I just heard that Rep Clay Higgins just found out that the FBI let the body of crooks be cremated TEN DAYS after the butler assassination attempt. The coverup is in full swing.
She clearly has no skill whatsoever. Evidenced by her grip on the gun, where the holster is positioned and her lack of awareness of where the holster even is. A poor workman blames his tools.
What went wrong? She's woefully untrained and unprepared. In a crisis situation, it should be down to muscle memory. How many times did she draw, fire, and holster that weapon in training? Actually feel bad for her as she has become the target of many jokes, but I don't think she knows any better. The Secret Service didn't prepare her for success or wash her out during training if she was unable to perform. This is a great example of a job that was severely degraded by DEI initiatives.

@hatake-kakashi7489 if you cannot unholster your pistol put a round accurately down range at its furthest reliable distance, and re-holster without thinking about it under the most stressful situation, you do not have the training needed to guard high value targets. As well as if your job is to be a bullet catcher and you are not at least as tall as the one you are catching bullets for you should not be in that position. Also if a 185 pound man such as myself can obliterate you with a single punch, you do not need to be the one protecting an HVT. She is a dei hire and does not need to be putting herself or others in danger.
You need to drop the corporate politispeak. I know the military trains this into you, but it just detracts from the reality. She showed a lack of skill.
But not to provide an excuse would allow the public to place blame. And there are certain groups in this nation that are above blame. This video is just one example.

INCREDIBLE holster. The agent really brings a kind of “bought the holster, slid the Glock in and never thought about it again” vibe to the trenches that agency doesn’t really like. Everyone’s first gun fight/potential gun fight will show you what you need to work on faster than you can kick yourself for not working harder at training.
It was more than likely issued to her by her organization, which failed to properly hold her to training standards about as much as they did height and weight standards.
Not the equipment, she is just a DEI hire that probably never saw action before and was obviously 50 pounds overweight and lacked any skills or training! Also she was entirely too short to attempt to protect a 6 foot 3 inch 240 pound male.
There is absolutely no excuse for her not being able to reholster her firearm other than the DEI practices of the Federal government . Lack of training or better yet lack of her willing to put the time in to be proficient in her craft to develop muscle memory . And she is absolutely out of shape to be in a job other than sitting at a desk working on a computer which would be the safest place for the protectee and the public .
This was a polite way to dunk on the secret service 🙈 The issues here were lack of training, a restrictive vest and not enough time at the gym making it hard to reach back.. whole thing is wild

When it’s your job to provide armed protection for any person who has or has had the highest level of top-secret clearance, your training, skill, and tactics should be at the pinnacle of your profession. This incident was the perfect example of team and individual failure!!
We should just go with this was an untrained dei that should have never been in that position in the first place. I'm a disabled vet and could have done a better job with a group hired from outside the local Home Depot 🤷🏼♂️
Amazingly professional way to address this. Respect. But for real. Every law enforcement agency under the sun teaches you to draw and reholster BEFORE they teach you to shoot at all. This ain't target practice, and this shows a massive deficit in training and officer standards. They are supposed to be the best of the best, not the lunch lady.
Simple answer is they were not trained Secret Service agents, they were not even trained firearms carriers. They came from other DHS agencies to Man the detail
Hell, when i went through FLETC whenever we had the time we'd do holser drills with our blue guns, and anytime i managed to squeeze out minutes back in the hotel I'd do holster drills. Practice with your equipment until you get sore, practice when you're tired at the end of a 12hr day, practice holstering without looking. It might be a training problem from the agency but it a problem thats easily solved by the individual officer.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. I’m sorry it didn’t get the response it deserves but rather a bunch of comments obviously Uber fit commando shoe salesmen.
I don’t think concealment is a priority when everyone knows they are agents. The mission is the priority. Mostly wearing suits and sunglasses and lapel pins combined with CAT Teams I would say weekly training and being allowed to have the right gear matters more. Got hips? Train and get a drop offset or stay in the office!
Why do people always ignore the situation and actions. She is secret service, job is the protect president past and present. Needing to be combat ready at a drop of the pin and good under pressure. Now, if she was an armed mall cop or something understandable of her actions.
Great analytical video. But it's not an equipment issue. It's a training issue... Or lack thereof... She should have hit that holster in one sweep without looking. She couldn't even find the dang thing.
She was not secret service. She was diplomatic security i believe. Secret Service would not be that out of shape.They assigned the B Team all around for that even.
She looked like Melissa McCarty, starring in a buddy cop film. You can't tell me that she wasn't hired based on quotas. Mayorkas set hiring goals for the secret service. To hit those #'s you know they lowered standards.
To me, it comes down to a weight issue, a gear issue that she wasn't aware of (due to not training), a skill issue (due to not training), and an issue of panic (due to lack of or poor training). The last one is often remedied with stress inoculation training. I wasn't with SS, but I assumed this is part of the training for their protection detail. Perhaps it's not. They are not above criticism. It isn't dog piling them. When they resist taking accountability for what is clearly warranted, this is simply an outraged public attempted to make them take accountability and remedy the various problems we've witnessed during this incident. If they can't handle that, they aren't in the right line of work and I don't feel sorry for them. I think this wasn't a great take (though you have the right to say whatever you please), but I understand what you were trying to do.
She's never worn a holstered sidearm before, she didn't have to sitting at a desk, behind a computer. She a DHS investigator, NOT secret service trained, just secret service play acting
Let's not forget the leader of the Secret Service cited the slope of the roof as the reason this potential threat was not covered. It is an attitude. As I do not belong on an NBA team some do not belong as a SS protective. No bias just reality.
i hate to be mean, BUT just how the hell did she pass the PT phase of qualifications?? with a oxygen tank in tow?? let alone the marksmanship part of it!!! its just sad that a holster maker has to defend their product because a user is outa shape ( yes im aware that round is a shape) & has little to no training on the equipment being used!!!
He took 4 minutes to say that women was too fat and untrained to be wearing his holster. And i will add to that, the secret service needs to do better.
That's why they're supposed to train, ALL OF THE TIME. So they get used to handling situations like that. Clearly, it was almost like her first day on the job. An absolute disaster.
Sorry, a person assigned to a secret service protection detail can and should reasonably be expected to be skilled and practiced enough to select the right tools for the task and then using them.
She is so tense, with adrenaline pumping through her, that she re-holstered her firearm even though there was no assurance the threat was over. In other videos, when they arrived at the hospital ER, she did the same thing-drawing her weapon and then re-holstering it. Also, how can you be in a protective detail if you're like a foot shorter than the VIP?
He said don’t Dogpile on her………. But through his explanation, he pointed out several facts such as she has not spent enough time training, and she did not have the proper gear to fit her body which would be a leadership problem…… Who is ever above her should have spent more time with her and others guaranteeing They were properly trained, such as creating high stress situations and having them continually draw and re-holster while under stress to verify the equipment was correct for the person..
If, during training, you draw from a holster, fire and reholster your weapon, and practice this on a regular basis, lots of problems will go away! How often does the Secret Service train and requalify?
The SS dog pile is not so much on the Close Protection Detail, but on training and/or physical characteristics of selected team members. That occurs at least one level up in the command structure. Note the agent shown was also later present in VP Vance's detail seen on the tarmac recently with harris' plane in the background during an ad-hoc exchange between VP Vance and the assembled press personnel. She has become easily recognizable.
This situation could apply to anyone other than tier one badasses!!! Draw fast, holster slow! No reason to holster your weapon unless the threat is neutralized then look it into your holster every time!!!
How did she put everyone in danger because of how she reholstered her gun? From what I saw, she put herself in harms way to keep Trump from being shot and backed up the Special Ops team that surrounded Trump's Escalade.
@@vxy357 fitting the holster to your body and practicing the skills of drawing and reholstering your weapon are “entry” level skills. No one who struggles with these skills should be on the team because other team members are covering for her, or will be exposed unnecessarily to danger because she can’t do the higher level tasks required. Imagine a Navy SEAL who struggles to doggy paddle?!?
Not her fault?!?! A) she isn’t secret service, she is DHS, but B) she had a job to protect the president that day. She was one of the ones in charge of setting up the entire security that day. She set it up for failure. She also has the job of protecting the president that day and can’t even put away a HER firearm in HER holster. I’m not a LEO, I am a trainer. If I couldn’t public speak I would be rightfully fired. It’s my job. But I’m kinda thinking on getting a tenicore now, if I ever had to use my firearm in self defense, I’d love for you to throw yourself on the fire for me in court excepting every responsibility for my actions so you can sell a bunch of your crap to the public. That’s amazing customer service. How much did DHS pay you?
Holstering is an administrative movement for law enforcement. The “no look” holstering idea is outdated. If you draw your firearm you don’t holster it until the threat is completely eliminated, so just look at the holster. That’s also a safety procedure with striker fired firearms. I wasn’t concerned with her missing the holster once. I’m sure the situation was very stressful. Her lack of fitness troubled me more. How is she going to intimidate a minor bad guy? She isn’t. That’s a problem.
Maximum effective range of an excuse is 0m. ALWAYS look at your holster. If there is still a threat, if its not safe to look down at your holster, why are you putting your gun away?
I came here to say that. Otherwise, practice a hell of a lot more. How much more? Until you can holster without looking while thinking about something else.
One can use the offhand to pull the jacket from behind in order to get the suit jacket out of the way in order to holster. The agent behind the one in front was able to smoothly re-holster.
I always thought the secret service were supposed to be the best of the best. Like, former 6ft 200+ pound navy seals with black belts in numerous martial arts.

When it’s your job to provide armed protection for any person who has or has had the highest level of top-secret clearance, your training, skill, and tactics should be at the pinnacle of your profession. This incident was the perfect example of team and individual failure!!
It was also the perfect example of dei and how far gone the US government is
We'll just go with "operator error" on this one. Gear functioned just fine
We should just go with this was an untrained dei that should have never been in that position in the first place. I'm a disabled vet and could have done a better job with a group hired from outside the local Home Depot 🤷🏼♂️
The "body geometry" consideration is vital to selecting the right equipment. The problem in this case is that her geometry is a circle.
Good one!
This is taking customer service a little too far.
😂
Hahahhahahhahhaa
Still a great video and product
I believe the fupa got in the way of the reholster attempt
This is a fine example of lack of training with your gear!
Amazingly professional way to address this. Respect. But for real. Every law enforcement agency under the sun teaches you to draw and reholster BEFORE they teach you to shoot at all. This ain't target practice, and this shows a massive deficit in training and officer standards. They are supposed to be the best of the best, not the lunch lady.
Simple answer is they were not trained Secret Service agents, they were not even trained firearms carriers. They came from other DHS agencies to Man the detail
Hell, when i went through FLETC whenever we had the time we'd do holser drills with our blue guns, and anytime i managed to squeeze out minutes back in the hotel I'd do holster drills. Practice with your equipment until you get sore, practice when you're tired at the end of a 12hr day, practice holstering without looking. It might be a training problem from the agency but it a problem thats easily solved by the individual officer.
Training is always the answer, or at least a big part of it.
Her holster made her short and doughy.
Nobody blamed the holster but the professionalism of the agent
USSS should be extraordinarily well trained and capable of operating under pressure. No excuses. They should be held to the highest standards. Period.
I agree 💯 ... the failures & J13 excuses should not be ignored nor will be blushed off.
She's still works at the capital, but now she's the cafeteria lady
Down vote for criticizing those who criticize the SS despite the ample evidence of their incompetence. You guys must have a government contract.
Yes. Correct. $ to protect
Hmm...good point.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. I’m sorry it didn’t get the response it deserves but rather a bunch of comments obviously Uber fit commando shoe salesmen.
I don’t think concealment is a priority when everyone knows they are agents. The mission is the priority. Mostly wearing suits and sunglasses and lapel pins combined with CAT Teams I would say weekly training and being allowed to have the right gear matters more. Got hips? Train and get a drop offset or stay in the office!
Why do people always ignore the situation and actions. She is secret service, job is the protect president past and present. Needing to be combat ready at a drop of the pin and good under pressure. Now, if she was an armed mall cop or something understandable of her actions.
So basically if you have an enormous FUPA, you aren’t geometric for the secret service. You should be a buffet food worker
Great analytical video. But it's not an equipment issue. It's a training issue... Or lack thereof... She should have hit that holster in one sweep without looking. She couldn't even find the dang thing.
She was not secret service. She was diplomatic security i believe. Secret Service would not be that out of shape.They assigned the B Team all around for that even.
She looked like Melissa McCarty, starring in a buddy cop film. You can't tell me that she wasn't hired based on quotas. Mayorkas set hiring goals for the secret service. To hit those #'s you know they lowered standards.
She was completely freaked out. If that holster was as big as a basketball hoop, she would have missed it. Wrong job for that lady, sorry.
To me, it comes down to a weight issue, a gear issue that she wasn't aware of (due to not training), a skill issue (due to not training), and an issue of panic (due to lack of or poor training). The last one is often remedied with stress inoculation training. I wasn't with SS, but I assumed this is part of the training for their protection detail. Perhaps it's not.
They are not above criticism. It isn't dog piling them. When they resist taking accountability for what is clearly warranted, this is simply an outraged public attempted to make them take accountability and remedy the various problems we've witnessed during this incident. If they can't handle that, they aren't in the right line of work and I don't feel sorry for them.
I think this wasn't a great take (though you have the right to say whatever you please), but I understand what you were trying to do.
0:10 people throwing shades out of ignorance
2:38 proceeds to roast the living fuck of that specific SS personnel
Yes, but his shade was completely informed and well versed on the topic.
She's never worn a holstered sidearm before, she didn't have to sitting at a desk, behind a computer. She a DHS investigator, NOT secret service trained, just secret service play acting
Let's not forget the leader of the Secret Service cited the slope of the roof as the reason this potential threat was not covered. It is an attitude. As I do not belong on an NBA team some do not belong as a SS protective. No bias just reality.
You need to add another drop down box: Muffin Top - Yes/No
i hate to be mean, BUT just how the hell did she pass the PT phase of qualifications?? with a oxygen tank in tow?? let alone the marksmanship part of it!!! its just sad that a holster maker has to defend their product because a user is outa shape ( yes im aware that round is a shape) & has little to no training on the equipment being used!!!
Training. Adrenaline changes everything.
That’s why we train train , thousands of live fire drills that’s in the CORPS but SS should be doing the same considering the outcome if they fail
He took 4 minutes to say that women was too fat and untrained to be wearing his holster. And i will add to that, the secret service needs to do better.
1:12 Fake arm guy spotted (holding an SMG of some kind under his coat)!
Yep, hand is on the steel ready to rock somebody's world. Thats the guy you dont mess with.
A bunch of those agents weren’t even secret service agents but fill in desk agents from other agencies
Definitely not your fault! Secret service is definitely not what it used to be.
That's why they're supposed to train, ALL OF THE TIME. So they get used to handling situations like that. Clearly, it was almost like her first day on the job. An absolute disaster.
Sorry, a person assigned to a secret service protection detail can and should reasonably be expected to be skilled and practiced enough to select the right tools for the task and then using them.
Well all we know is the secret service obviously doesnt have a fitness standard or modern firearm training
She is so tense, with adrenaline pumping through her, that she re-holstered her firearm even though there was no assurance the threat was over. In other videos, when they arrived at the hospital ER, she did the same thing-drawing her weapon and then re-holstering it.
Also, how can you be in a protective detail if you're like a foot shorter than the VIP?
He said don’t Dogpile on her………. But through his explanation, he pointed out several facts such as she has not spent enough time training, and she did not have the proper gear to fit her body which would be a leadership problem…… Who is ever above her should have spent more time with her and others guaranteeing They were properly trained, such as creating high stress situations and having them continually draw and re-holster while under stress to verify the equipment was correct for the person..
If, during training, you draw from a holster, fire and reholster your weapon, and practice this on a regular basis, lots of problems will go away! How often does the Secret Service train and requalify?
The SS dog pile is not so much on the Close Protection Detail, but on training and/or physical characteristics of selected team members. That occurs at least one level up in the command structure. Note the agent shown was also later present in VP Vance's detail seen on the tarmac recently with harris' plane in the background during an ad-hoc exchange between VP Vance and the assembled press personnel. She has become easily recognizable.
This situation could apply to anyone other than tier one badasses!!! Draw fast, holster slow! No reason to holster your weapon unless the threat is neutralized then look it into your holster every time!!!
The incompetence of the leadership who allowed her on the detail is astounding… they put everyone’s life in danger… She’s just a symptom
How did she put everyone in danger because of how she reholstered her gun? From what I saw, she put herself in harms way to keep Trump from being shot and backed up the Special Ops team that surrounded Trump's Escalade.
@@vxy357 fitting the holster to your body and practicing the skills of drawing and reholstering your weapon are “entry” level skills. No one who struggles with these skills should be on the team because other team members are covering for her, or will be exposed unnecessarily to danger because she can’t do the higher level tasks required. Imagine a Navy SEAL who struggles to doggy paddle?!?
She hasn’t drawn that gun since her qual. Simple as that. Strong independent female tho
Not her fault?!?! A) she isn’t secret service, she is DHS, but B) she had a job to protect the president that day. She was one of the ones in charge of setting up the entire security that day. She set it up for failure. She also has the job of protecting the president that day and can’t even put away a HER firearm in HER holster.
I’m not a LEO, I am a trainer. If I couldn’t public speak I would be rightfully fired. It’s my job. But I’m kinda thinking on getting a tenicore now, if I ever had to use my firearm in self defense, I’d love for you to throw yourself on the fire for me in court excepting every responsibility for my actions so you can sell a bunch of your crap to the public. That’s amazing customer service. How much did DHS pay you?
She is a DEI hired. SHe does not have to be proficient in any necessary skills needed to be a qualified secret service agent.
Holstering is an administrative movement for law enforcement. The “no look” holstering idea is outdated. If you draw your firearm you don’t holster it until the threat is completely eliminated, so just look at the holster. That’s also a safety procedure with striker fired firearms. I wasn’t concerned with her missing the holster once. I’m sure the situation was very stressful. Her lack of fitness troubled me more. How is she going to intimidate a minor bad guy? She isn’t. That’s a problem.
One(and only one of many) of the problems was she could see the holster due to the big donut roll.
When your BPM’s is over 140, body mechanics go. No matter how trained you are…
No one wins a gunfight by reholstering the fastest. Honestly there are plenty of things to critique, idk why everyone is so stuck on the holstering.
Its called Women moment )))
Not blaming the holster, don't think anyone is that I'm aware of. It's the incompetent person using it.
It wasn’t the holster, it was that she couldn’t find it. She was trying to put it between the holster and her badge.
The “Secret” service only makes the whole nation worry. THAT is a problem!
It’s not out of ignorance but empirical evidence and the fact that they were out smarted by a pre-adult.
WRONG. The best of the best need to deal with the results of their training. Excuses need not apply.
This no accident democrats tried to give him the JFK treatment hiring diversity😂😂😂
Dont worry friend, nobody blames your holster for her lack of training. 😊
FUPA agent is taking the heat! But she or it did just go threw a stressful ordeal.
Notice both women had issues because of their hips…. Look at the other women.
She wore it on here left duty cheek in a high stress of course you wouldn’t find it 😂
Drawing and holstering is week one, day one stuff.
Wearing a title still don't make you and expert.
Maximum effective range of an excuse is 0m. ALWAYS look at your holster. If there is still a threat, if its not safe to look down at your holster, why are you putting your gun away?
Or adjust your 🕶 or fix your ear bud radio. 🤔
Please consider ARX for p365 series.
The other were wearing Raven Concealment holsters
One thing
If you're holstering your weapon, then the threat is non-existent, so look at your holster if you must and follow your weapon to it.
I came here to say that.
Otherwise, practice a hell of a lot more.
How much more?
Until you can holster without looking while thinking about something else.
Yip, you are correct, practice make perfection!
I have a hard time believing she was even an agent
One can use the offhand to pull the jacket from behind in order to get the suit jacket out of the way in order to holster. The agent behind the one in front was able to smoothly re-holster.
I always thought the secret service were supposed to be the best of the best. Like, former 6ft 200+ pound navy seals with black belts in numerous martial arts.
Turns out they are human...like the rest of us.
