serpa holsters

Don't feel bad, at least you have enough clarity to have researched the issue and not become emotionally attached to bad gear just cause you bought it before knowing better. I too have a Serpa that I bought at one point, and even used it for a class before the issues with it started to crystalize in the expert shooting community; It has been residing in the box of bunk holsters that every shooter seems to have since around 2007 or 8 . FIDO!

You might be seeing the SLS system which does tend to run around 100-200 bucks. I picked up an ALS 6377 for my Sig for $38.

Hope this helps.

It might be because I was looking at the tactical ones.

Yeah, there's lots of ALS holsters on the "Concealment" Will-Fit list.

Mistakenly so, many would reasonably argue; most of those things are about as concealable as a cinder-block....

I use 6378s, never paid more than $60 for them, retail. Granted, I had to buy the UBL w/QLS plate and 1ea QLS fork/holster to mount them; still worth it, in comparison to either a hole in the leg OR a repeat of my pistol = Excalibur (sword-in-the-stone) incident of 2006.

Even my light-bearing ALS holster was about $85.
