BLACKHAWK SERPA Level 2 Duty Holster- Matte Finish

I know there's some controversy on this type of holster from dumb people shooting themselves in the leg, and I know most, if not all, federal agencies have moved away from this design. I don't really think that's a fault of the design and I like this design more than the Safariland holsters with the thumb lock. The issue was people having a round chambered, usually in a Glock or Sig without a safety, and as they'd quick draw their finger would immediately go from the release button on the holster, to the trigger, and shoot into the ground, sometimes their leg. There's a few problems there that can't be blamed on the equipment. First off, they should have trained on their equipment without a loaded weapon first to be sure they weren't going to do something as stupid as immediately going to the trigger, accidentally or on purpose. And second, every firearms training I've ever been to stresses not to put your finger on that trigger until you're ready to engage your target. You just don't do that. This holster offers a smoother draw for me than the thumb lock. Sure, I'll probably have to go to a safariland before long since these are being phased out, but since these last a long time, I'll keep using them for my Beretta until I absolutely have to stop. I've beat a few of these up in Afghanistan and they get scratches but I've never had a failure of any type. I'd recommend going with the level 2 holster for any serious day to day use. The level 3 is overkill, and the level 1 (smaller version) allows the safety to be accidentally clicked off just from getting in and out of a vehicle or other movements. The level 2 doesn't get in the way but protects that safety and the hammer from being snagged. This is a seriously great system and I love the different features, like the optional quick connectors that lets me easily transition this holster from my hip or leg carry to my vest carry mounts. I don't need different holsters, just the mounts and quick connect pieces.

I really like the Serpa holster, I have used one for my other weapons and wanted something I was familiar with. It is reliably one of the best holsters on the market. I like how tight it secures to my belt and the fact that after I set it I know it won’t move from that location on the belt. Overall the holster is just a level 1 holster so not much retention but it does have some which is all I need for my training. I would highly recommend their holster to anyone wanting to have consistently during their holster training and shooting.

I love serpa holsters; in fact those are the only duty holsters I can use due to my thumb partial amputation. Blackhawk is awesome. But they should make their straps molle width. So I knocked off a star for that.

I bought this solely for use in armed security. The included belt attachment is annoying in that it doesn't allow you to slide the rig forward or back once it's on there, making it a royal pain to find exactly where you want it to be on your belt before you cinch down the screws to permanently secure it. Also, the low-hanging position of the belt mount is uncomfortable as heck when you're sitting in a vehicle (especially one with a center console), because it makes the holster dig into your thigh. The mid- or high-position mounts available for the SERPA holsters are MUCH better and pretty much a must-get. Otherwise, this is just like any other SERPA holster in that it's simple, rugged, functional, secure, and nice-looking. EXTRA BONUS: I bought this to fit a full-size Smith & Wesson M&P45, but it also perfectly fits my SD9VE. However, for whatever reason, it DOES NOT fit my Glock 30 nor will it fit a Glock 21 or 20, even though it's the same "Size 13" as my Level III SERPA that DOES fit those models. Strange bit of inconsistency there on Blackhawk's part.

Fantastic value and great product!! I researched holsters and determined this to be best suited for my application. I use a heavy gauge leather belt (~.25 thick) that would not pass through the plastic belt loops of this holster without considerable force. To remedy, I removed the back plate (3 screws attach the holster to the back plate), used a couple of tapered shims to create a .30" opening in the loops and soaked it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes on a cookie sheet. I removed it after soaking with a pair of leather gloves and slid the shims closer together to create a wider gap. The plastic was very soft at this point. I let cool to room temperature, removed the shims and viola!! My belt slid through easily and I was then able to use the adjustment screws (which I back off almost entirely prior to heating) to get the snug fit I was looking for. Pistol drawing is a snap with the SERPA design though repetitious practice is necessary to ensure fluid movement.

I would have gave it 5 stars but when I got it in the mail the finger lock button was not with it the holster itself is very nice and the gun fit perfectly but dealing with Black Hawk customer service Was a pain it took them six hours to decide that they would send me another holster but if it was not for all that aggravation this is a five-star holster for road officers I'll keep you updated when I receive the new holster from Black hawk

You can dial this thing into an exact amount of pressure needed to disengage the retention system. My wife had no experience with guns at all when she was hired to become an officer. Her station supplied her with the super clunky level 3 duty holster. The training facility she went to was not ran by her department and she already had 1 strike against her for being female (women are incapable of being officers according to cook county Illinois). They had a ball of a time trashing her for not being the ultimate quick draw in the class with her level 3 on the first day she ever live fired the gun while using the holster. This holster flat out solved that problem. Complete new shooter with no experience with guns at all and she was able to quickly draw the gun, get on target and accurately take her shot. You might want to go back to a Level 3 for actual duty use depending in your specific typical day on the street but during training and for competition use this holster is the bees knees. I also like how you can adjust the angle forward and back Fortunately or Unfortunately... This holster doesn't budge once installed on your belt. You can not rotate it or slide it back or fourth... This means when you get into your car it's staying where it is. You can't move it into a more comfortable position. Keep that in mind

This is the second Blackhawk Serpa level 2 holster I have purchased. The quality is good and the product durability and price are good. This holster does ride low and I would recommend the mid ride attachment if you are looking for more comfort in a vehicle or chair.

Exactly as advertised. Fast shipping. Great Price.

【東京マルイ製】 ガスM92F,ガスM9A1,電動M9A1入ります ガス: 入れる時は、ある程度ホルスターに入れるとガスガンの重さで自重でロックされます 抜く時はロック機構に軽く触れるだけで抜く事が出来ます 電動: 入れる時は、ロック手前で少し抵抗がありますが奥まで差し込むと入りませす 抜くときは、ロック機構は軽く触れるだけで解除されますがガスガンに比べ少し抵抗があるので ロック解除し、少し力を入れ抜く感じです ガスM92Fは、少しガタツキがあります 走った時にカチャカチャ鳴ります ガスM9A1は、多少のガタツキがあります 走った時軽くカチャカチャ鳴りますが そんなに気にはなりません 電動M9A1は、全くガタツキません
