Looks like that holster (safariland?) is a paddle holster with additional loops for a belt (and it looks like the belt is holding it up).
However, the Serpa on page 11 (Automatic Restraint) definitely looks like the paddle only is being used (belt is not supporting the holster).
Good find!

It would not make sense that a holster had to be looped through the belt, most likely for retention, when there is no actual retention requirement for the holster to gun. Just saying. I'm running a paddle holster for OC - just way more convenient. If a cop is removing my holster to check, there will be a lawsuit coming.
