2026 Holster Question: Locking Tabs

IDPA 2026 Rulebook: 8.5.1.10 Retention devices may be permanently removed or permanently disabled, but not temporarily disabled for a match.

Locking Tabs would fall under this rule in Level 2, 3, 4 matches, correct?

Requiring these tabs be actuated AFTER the buzzer, or removed altogether?
