This is going to sound funny, but isn't. An M9 pistol has a muzzle safety. If something's pressed against it, the gun won't fire. They wanted to make sure the gun wouldn't fire if it was in the holster. Right after Desert Storm in 1991, a lieutenant of Military Police wanted to demonstrate the muzzle safety to a reporter, so he put the gun up against his head, pulled the trigger and blew his brains out. So...the number one rule of M9 Service Pistol Weapon Safety is to not point the gun at your head and pull the trigger.
