LAPD Bans Use Of Blackhawk Serpa Holster
Earlier this week, we began to hear rumors that the Los Angeles Police Department had banned use of the Serpa Holster. We now have confirmation.

On June 8, 2017, LAPD issued a directive to its personnel disapproving use of the Blackhawk Serpa holster as well as all auto-locking trigger finger manipulated holsters. The memo goes on to add, “These holsters violate sound weapon manipulation practices and may increase the likelihood of a negligent discharge.”

PDs, absolutely. Surprises me all the time.

The average consumer/pistol owner? Well they sell their basic one everywhere for dirt cheap because it's junk. Most people find them next to the stacks of Uncle Mikes 'one size fits 57 guns' holsters and thinks "damn, retention? 30 bucks? That's pretty sweet!"

I have to admit, I still own one. It doesn't get used though.
