I've got a buddy who's a former SEAL (imagine that! :-), and now he's an LEO with a dept in the western part of the state here. When he set us up to run CQB drills here on our little range, we quickly learned the value of good holsters AND lanyards! People stand on a static line and expect everything to work perfectly, and for the purpose of basic marksmanship, a static firing line is a necessity. But when stress is up, and things are "moving", weapons are dropped, fat fingered, thrown. I watched a buddy of mine scoot across 30 yards of open space, flanking a simulated hostile target and he forgot to cock his 1911...but he squeezed like a crazy man almost all the way across the span. He even went through a clearing procedure once!....and goofed up and dropped the mag, so he put a new one in and during the reload, he DID charge the weapon and it DID function correctly after that!

Yeah...holsters and lanyards. Anybody who disagrees hasn't experienced the grief of dropping a weapon under stress...which is the absolute worst possible time to drop it!
