Holster Recommendations and Discussions..

Now that you guys have me reading Gabe Suarez materials, I was reading on warriortalk.com that Suarez doesn't allow Blackhawk Serpa holsters due to risk of accidental discharge with trigger finger after pushing button on holster. I do not own one but they do seem to be popular.

What are the better Kydex or composite belt or thigh holsters out there right now for a duty sized handgun, say a Sig or 1911?

I call bs...

Ill bet my life and those around me on the serpa retention holster... and would recommend it to anyone...
this is clearly stemming from operator error incidences becuase the holster naturally indexes the finger along the frame and slide during the full draw stroke... the act of applying pressure to the locking mechanism will not discharge the firearm and actually allows the user to activate and keep a straight trigger finger...
its inherent design ergonomically places the trigger finger outside the trigger guard during the entire motion of drawing and presenting from the holster...


they arent following sop... and may have had to much caffeine... even with a 1911 there is no excuse for accidental discharge becuase of the retention mechanism on that holster.... people should train and become intimate with thier gear before going commando with it....

sorry guys... this isnt my first Serpa conversation...

there are people out there on other martial talk forums that dont believe these holsters assist in "retention" either.....

however...

I am not reffering to clones of the serpas or companies that use a similar concept... I am reffering only to the blackhawk serpa level 1-3 retention holsters... these are the only ones I trust...

Very true... I bought an 18" annihilator bar from home depot the other day and once I got home I asked myself wtf are you gonna do with this... I may never find a use for that thisng.... good deal though at 29.00 :wink:


I dont think the people knocking them are actually using them religiously and training with them often, becuase if that was the case they would know that the holster naturally and ergonomically indexes your finger along the fram/slide of the pistol when depressing the release mechanizm and presenting the pistol....
nice run on sentence huh
:mrgreen:
