Good video. Bad outcome. Can certainly happen to any one and a good reminder to us all.
However, one simple reason for having any kind of retention device on your holster is to keep from losing your pistol. That can happen if you're in certain positions or are doing something very active.
It DOES seem that the location of the 1911 safety and the 511 thumblock holster are a BAD combination.
