I'm watching The Investigation on HBO MAX, about a homicide investigation in Denmark. The plainclothes detectives/investigators are armed with handguns of some sort (SIGs or Glocks or something, haven't gotten a good enough look yet) carried in very odd holsters. The detectives are mostly in shirtsleeves (i.e., not suits) and their holsters hang far below their belts, about "gunfighter low." I noticed in this week's episode that there's also a gap between the holster and body at the top, like the old police trooper holsters meant to be worn with long jackets. Indeed, this week the female detective went out wearing a coat, sort of like a lightweight version of an old US military field jacket, and had the gun sticking out from underneath it. For an American used to high belted or IWB carry, it is a VERY odd look. Maybe they're used to it over there.
