I have been pretty bored lately. I wanted to see if I could get a 92FS in a Serpa to choke. I have a very favorable opinion of them after being issued one and having used it on deployment without any problems (both the holster and the Beretta). I did about a dozen variations of the test and never had a problem drawing from the holster. I know that it has happened, but I also know that it has happened with Safarilands as well.

Your Beretta sure has a lot of "character" now. ;) Next time try lining the holster with 50 grit sandpaper or something. lol j/k

So you had the audacity to post that you like the SERPA here.

Here.

In my handgun forum.

How. Dare. You.

You can't see this, but I'm fashioning a voodoo doll of you based on your video and I'm going to start poking it with pins. Take THAT SERPA lover!! And THAT!!! ....and a little bit of THIS!!!

Having a different opinion is fine, dude. It's all about how you express it. ;)

I shan't strike you....but I do like it that you're referring to me as "Lord".

I could get used to that.

87GN,

Thank you for posting this. I have been a fan of the SERPA holster since I started to CC. My department also currently issues them so I also use them on duty. I have never had issues with them, and the accidents I have heard with them (with the exception of the design flaw recall they had on the glock 21 and M&P 45 holster) I am not sure how the people got them to happen other then bad handling.

I am just glad to see there is at least one other person around here that likes the serpa. :D

I know some investigators that love these holsters and never had issues but I am IWB myself so its not my thing but the guys I know use them on GLK 27 and 23 and one a GLK19 no issues with them
