Tazers are designed to not feel like a pistol. Their grip is bigger, its hollow, they are wide and have a HUGE yellow front. They also weigh 8 ounces, a fully loaded glock weighs around 1.5 lbs. The weight difference alone is extreme for a reason, so you do not confuse your tazer with your firearm.
Individuals who have passed tazer certification are trained to place the tazer on their belt on the opposite side of their firearm so they must make a clear decision on either a firearm or a tazer.
For a 25 year veteran her own body cam shows she was very poorly trained. She is clearly holding her firearm with her finger on the trigger jabbing it around like a flashlight before she shot the guy.
This makes no sense.

Tunnel vision. Everything goes out the window when that kicks in. Definitely should've been trained better though.
