It is interesting. The head firearms instructor (same guy that helps me teach classes) is a very switched on dude with lots of training under Hackathorn and Vickers. This directly influences the policies he establishes.
I can talk to an SO or PD firearms instructor and within 5 minutes know if they have a clue or not.
Another PD local to me is the exact opposite to my county SO. They use Glock 19's and are not allowed to use anything other than the plastic "space holder" sights that came with the guns (read NS's are not allowed and not needed). They also are not allowed to have weapon mounted lights.

Are they even allowed to go on calls at night.....tthose could be dangerous you know....
Not uncommon.
Sometimes, it's based on the opinions and predisposition of an agency "gun guy."
Sometimes, a lack of willingness by the agency to provide or regulate individually purchased gear within a quality standard.
Often times, such a prohibition is made after an initial or trial fielding during which troops had their clown shoes on and created justifiable concerns. Seen, many times.

Thanks to all you guys for a thread like this. Seems like a good place for a first post. I've been around for awhile reading and soaking up info. I'm still huge noob when it comes to separating tactical from tacticool stuff. And to me the Serpa looks like a great little holster. I had never thought of the finger curl issue at all til reading this.

It happens when you're under stress. I practiced a lot when I was at home and never had it happen.
Put a person on a line with other shooters, induce some stress, and require them to perform to either a timer or a sudden shouted command and sometimes people do funny things.
I remember Pat saying, "Ok, shooters, on my command, turn to face the targets and moving forward from the 10 to 5 yard line, put two rounds center mass into the first target, two rounds center mass into the second target, then one to the brain of #2 and then one to the brain of #1"
Followed by a pause......"UP!!!"
Then me, trying to concentrate on turning correctly (we were taught a certain way to move), not drawing until I was facing downrange so I didn't muzzle sweep anyone, drawing quickly once I was oriented properly, and trying to remember the drill sequence, promptly attempted to draw the gun a fraction of a second before my index finger fully engaged the SERPA release, and successfully gave myself a wedgie three times before I got the release activated.
And this wasn't the only time it happened....

The problem is they are so readily available and many people recommend (wrongly) them. I had one and thought it was great. I practiced drawing from in and felt confident with it. That is until I took my first class. My reloads with my AR went flawlessly mostly due to my redi-mod but every time I transitioned to my secondary I could not draw my weapon first try. Fortunately my life was not on the line just my pride.

i've heard of people who wear belt rigs using the safariland holster, hit the hood with their elbow while running and have their pistols go flying out. i don't know about you guys, but i can easily seeing this happen to anyone.
i think all the holster systems have shortcomings...
