I have recently bought a Blackhawk! SERPA level two drop leg holster. Before I bought it and after I have read a lot of reports and threads about them being everything from poor design to just plain dangerous. Even read of gov't agencies banning their use!
Through all the hate I have read, I have yet to read word for word exactly why any incident is Blackhawk's fault. I read an IDPA shooter ADed while reholstering, and a few others that never actually explained it caught on this or this holster part malfunctioned.
Mine is for a beretta 92, not only does the retension parts not even get close to the trigger, but the complaint of design(trigger finger 'unlatching' the retension feature the 'falling' on the trigger) is totally unfounded as the trigger finger fall right on the frame ABOVE the trigger as it should rest untill ready to fire.
I have looked over my holster, gotten firmiliar with fit and function, and adjusted both the straps and the retension system.
In my opinion this holster is great, not perfect, but deffinatly not trash.
Anyone else have a useful opinion? Maybe it's other models that are troublesome? I imagine most agencies are using glocks, anyone have a serpa for other brands?
