More SERPA Derp

**nickdrak** · 02-25-16, 02:26

A short video clip from a recent episode of Guns&Ammo TV where the hosts dismiss anyone who claims that the SERPA design is unsafe as "not being able to internalize keeping their finger straight and off if the trigger" or "don't understand the four safety rules".

Watch what happens when we slow down Pat Sweeney's draw from the SERPA with his Walther PPQ....

Since I posted up those two videos two days ago, they seem to have gone viral within the gun community: https://www.google.com/#q=patrick+sw...+guns+%26+ammo

Here is the full SERPA segment where the two hosts talk about how great the SERPA is and dismiss anyone that believes the SERPA is an unsafe design....

This really is hilarious. What a crappy, crappy holster.

I am thankful that by the time I decided to buy OWB holsters the SERPA was exposed for the huge piece of crap that it is.
Releasing retention via thumb lever (a la Safariland, G-CODE, etc.) is a far better option.

Look at the comments justifying Serpa's because themselves or someone they know has not ND's with one. They completely ignore the SME's cautions with red herrings and anecdotal fallacies.

What I can see is shooter placing his finger inside triggerguard a bit to early (however very popular in sport shooting, to cut on time). I do not know of holster that prevents shooter from putting his finger on the trigger to early, if he wish to do so and prevent from shooting oneself in the leg.

But... The mechanism by which the pistol is released will have one doing exactly that during a fast draw. What about a HURRIED draw?

I'll pass.
