Most cops I've seen who carry both taser and firearm mount them on the hip. Usually, available belt space only allows for carry of the two "tools" very close to each other on the same side of the body. To draw either weapon the cop must necessarily swing his hand toward both weapons at the same time.
I say that "textural feedback" isn't always the most obvious indicator of which of the two closely spaced weapons one might be drawing in a stressful, adrenaline-charged situation.
How cum ?
Because, when a person makes contact with a weapon on the draw, the index finger and thumb are usually the first of five "feelers" to wrap around and make contact with the weapon, followed by the middle finger. Lastly, the two remaining two fingers eventually complete the wrap sometime in the remaining interval as the weapon is being raised for fire.
So, those first two or three fingers constitute the major gripping extensions on a pistol or taser during the early stage of the draw. The initial sensory (or "textural") feedback a person refers to when drawing either weapon from the hip comes from the first two or three fingers to make contact with either weapon.
Hmmmmm, you say ?
Well, taser pistol handles are usually much shorter than typical Glock firearm pistol handles because a full hand grip is not required on them to resist kickback from bullet fire during shooting, so it would seem that it should be easy to distinguish between the two gun handles. But Glock semi-automatic pistols handles and most of the taser pistol handles pistols I've seen have very similar (molded plastic ergonomic) shapes to them. So when you're in a hurry to draw either weapon, the two weapons could potentially feel similar enough to cause confusion.
You figure it out from there.
