What if I need to bypass Primary Guard in an emergency?

We caution against bypassing Primary Guard under any circumstance, moreover, reaching for the CED with the gun-hand under stress (weapon confusion.) Note: The ability to bypass Primary Guard is always at the discretion of the officer/deputy in an emergency. 

(Bypass instructions.)

​

I'm not sure we need Primary Guard, isn't a policy sufficient?

A policy is imperative; however, a policy alone cannot prevent the (dangerous) non-conscious practice of the CED "switching hands" after being unholstered. Primary Guard is tangible reinforcement, safeguarding the officer and the public from the risk of gun-hand CED control (see videos.)

​

Will I be less accurate with the CED in my support-hand?

Accuracy is the product of proper and consistent training. Applying the same training with the support-hand should develop the same proficiency, while improving officer safety/public safety.

​

Will there be a learning curve with the support-hand?

A learning curve is expected with training, rest assured knowing that you are mitigating the greater risk, gun-hand CED control.

​

Is Primary Guard permanently attached to the CED?

Primary Guard attaches to the CED with a non-permanent mounting strip (water/heat resistant,) and is removeable with no damage to the CED. Primary Guard is interchangeable between left/right-handed users and fits all CED models and holsters (Primary Guard | Lifetime Warranty.)

​

How might Primary Guard be viewed on an officer/deputy's record? 

Primary Guard is a choice, a pro-active effort (record of training,) demonstrative of an officer/deputy's commitment to reducing unintended gun-related deaths. 

​

How might Primary Guard be viewed in court?

Here is what the President of the California District Attorneys Association had to say (see below.)
