“Military training/police training teaches that you remove a weapon voluntariyl when ordered with YOUR left hand if you’re right-handed, and your RIGHT HAND if you’re left-handed.”
I did 25 years in the military - ok, the USAF - and I never heard that. Can you cite a source? Because if I tried to remove that holster from the 3:30 position with my left hand, I could not do it. Not possible.
LOL
I did 4 years in the USAF (2 on Flight Crew-551st TAC), and attended Survival School down at Tyndall AFB. During the weapons training, (Colt 45ACP), I clearly recall the Instructor giving holy Hell to a "student" who was asked to hand over his weapon. It was holstered on his right hip.
The CMSGT yelled "Surrender your weapon!", and the guy reached down to take it out and was told "YOU DON'T SURRENDER YOUR WEAPON WITH THAT HAND; USE YOUR OPPOSITE HAND OR I'LL ASSUME YOU'RE DRAWING DOWN ON ME..."
That's the only source I can attribute it to, but I do remember hearing that, and all the weapons were loaded there on the range at that time.
Contrary to popular belief here, I wasn't in the military when the standard issue was the muzzle-loader.
