A short while ago I bought what I think is an old style open top NYPD holster. I had heard about them years ago from a retired NY sergeant.
Just need to know about the draw. The sergeant said it was the original "security holster" with the leather retainer sewn inside. Did the officers have to work with it a lot for a smooth draw? It seems like it requires a twisting action along with shoving your thumb inside between the gun and the holster interrior.
I also thought I remember a pen or pencil holder sewn into the outside of the holster.
I'd appreciate any information.
