Ok, don't read this one if you haven't eaten yet,
So my deployed unit has a smattering of M-11s. My section warrant decides he will go the easy route and carry with a pancake holster with no thumb break. WELL,
One recent afternoon, we were waiting for him to come out of the outhouse on the way to the dining facility. He sticks his head out and tells us he needs a plastic bag. NOW. We don't dare ask, but one of my guys goes to the cafeteria and gets a plastic bag and gives it to him. A minute later, he emerges with his shiny new SIG covered with blue water and.....other things. He explains to me later, he depends on the tight belt to retain the gun in the holster. He was loosening the belt, got turned around, caught the grip of the gun on the TP dispenser, and....ploop.
After much consulting from me, and a long time in the latrine, he pronounced it scrubbed to death and re-holstered.
We never speak of this.
Moral: Know your gear and have redundant security features in place.
That is all.
