Blackhawk SERPA Level 2 Holster

Got my new Serpa last week and I have fell in love with this thing. The only problem I have had has been when taking it off at the end of the day the little hook on the paddle will catch on clothing so you have to kind of hold it out a little to get the holster off. But having said that this is what keeps someone from taking it away from you in the event of a struggle. I didn't think this was enough not to give this a 5 star rating.

Oh Boy (or Girl) here we go... I have read several reviews regarding the danger of this holster, and have seen it outlawed from some groups because according to them it was unsafe which to me is total B.S. I believe (and this is after about three years of using the holster regularly) that the fault lies in both the reward system these groups have in place and the ineptitude of the shooter! These groups are centered around speed (who is the fastest) with little true concern for safety.. As anyone who has learned properly, you start slow and progress slowly as far as speed, with SAFETY being Paramount. Many shooters I see really push themselves into the danger zone and will continue to have ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES AS LONG AS THE FOCUS IS AS IT IS.NOW. There is a good Flash Video on the topic of drawing from this holster on YouTube should anyone care (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u1LhUvAouY). As the video says, it is the improper action of the shooter that causes the problem. Another secret to the speed issue is to avoid being tensed up, Again these groups let the shooter "Get Ready" before the "Buzzer" so to speak. Right now the scenarios are bogus in my opinion, and when real stress is added , the results are obvious. But then again, we blame the equipment instead of ourselves don't we. I would like to know how many people who have done the requisite 3,00 to 3500 repetitions for correct muscle memory have had this issue appear.

Works great with my Springfield 1911

I've carried my Kimber 1911 in this holster for about a year and a half. I agree that the lock is clumsy at first. Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.

great fit,works great with my s&w m&p9, secure

they didnt have one made for my gun do to it was new and they help me find one that fits and i just got it in the mail and it fits perfect just so you no my gun is a 9mm s&w sd9 ve and if you have one this holster is for you

I have been checking this site if they will ever produce anything for CZ 75/85 pistols. in right and left hand. Gret holster, but, very limited selection.

Left handed with a SR9c unfortunately for me Blackhawk doesn't feel the need to include us lefties in the SERPA clud, at least not when it comes to the SR9. With that said, I LOVE the SERPA I've gotten for my G23. Just a bit miffed I can't get one for the SR9. Hoping this will change with the popularity of the SR9.

I have a S&W Model 59 it fits perfect and easy draw when needed at work as a Security Guard.

My wife and I both use this holster for concealed and open carry. After searching for the perfect holster for over fifty years, this is our favorite so far.

Great solid holster,I like how it locks in so no worry's about losing it or someone snatching your weapon.Comfortable to wear,the only down side is there is no compartment to hold your extra magazine,which arguable some might say is unnecessary,But to me its a must.Its one of those things that if you needed it you would want it at quick access. Fits my Ruger sr9 perfectly.

The holster is all that it is cracked up to be but the assembly instructions have a lot to be desired. I have a part I still don't know what to do with.

Carried my Beretta in it for 7 months in Iraq. Worked Great. Easy to use. Never fumbled or bumbled drawing it.

Great Holster !!! BUT: You MUST practice your Pistol DRAWS by smooth, consistent Release Button technique. Nice Locked-In-Pistol feature for weapon security AIN'T SO GREAT during adrenaline dump when you go All-Thumbs-a-Bumblin and experience total loss of your fine motor skills... Personally I don't favor gadgets that complicate matters when an imminent threat appears. I want NOTHING between me and my pistol in private citizen/concealed carry mode. On-Duty In-Uniform where a dirtbag may attempt a Gun-Grab of my service pistol is a whole different equation. What is your application for this holster ?? is the relevant question here.

The Blackhawk Serpa 2 holster will NOT fit a Sig P220 COMBAT.

Fits my Taurus 24/7 Pro 45 ACP perfect.

I use this as my primary conceal carry holster and love it. The paddle makes for an easy on/off. Have not had to worry about the weapon and holster silhouette being an issue either. Highly recommend.

I recently bought this holster as a gift for my boyfriend. He is thrilled with it. I had to wait for a very long time to get the one that fits his gun, but he absolutely loves it. He especially likes the fact that his gun is "locked" in. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great holster.

Sig P250. Fits Perfectly!
