    Doing ground work and literally ripping SERPAs off of students with my bare hands makes me happy.

    Something I've not had happen to my Safariland, Raven or Cane and Derby holsters. All of which are more than affordable for a person looking at a SERPA. Good point, F2S. I forgot about ground drills and the struggle that ensues in the scramble for the blue gun. It's an eye opener for sure.

    You mean like what happened to the SERPAs in this video?

    Good post. I have seen those types of failures numerous times. As I stated earlier, the law enforcement academy where I taught previously and the one I'm at now will not allow those holsters through the door. Look carefully folks. If you're using this holster for your duty weapon or as a CCW rig, you're doing yourself a disservice. Start shopping for a replacement. The word has been out on these crappy holsters for years. I can't believe the conversation continues.

    I am with you there man, it just ****ing blows me away these are not only still around but are as popular and vigorously defended as they are, I just don’t get it. I agree with your post above regarding ego/embarrassment being a major factor. Get over it people, these holsters are shit.

    I have never had a problem with my SERPA locking up, but I have to say the way to release the gun is counter intuitive. After not using the SERPA for a while it took me several seconds to get my mind together and figure out how to draw from it - luckily this was range time.

    Time to look for something else.


    Can someone summarize the available holster choices that come with a lock?

    We got:
    • Safariland ALS
    • 5.11 Thumb drive
    • What else?

    Go with the Safariland ALS. They have a dozen or so different configurations available. As a direct replacement for the SERPA CQC I would recommend the model #6377/6378

    Another vote for the ALS. It is available in a myriad of configurations and it's built well.

    FYI - Serpa holsters are no longer authorized in my classes

    I am in Pittsburgh this weekend ( July 9-10) and these classes will be the last with Serpas allowed as the students did not get the word in time to change - I have 3 LE students in the class with them

    I am not the first to ban them (Gunsite already has) and I am sure I will not be the last

    Please pass the word to anyone planning on attending one of my classes in the future

    Be safe
