Blackhawk SERPA Level 2 Sportster Holster

This is a GREAT holster, if they would just make it for my gun, I have been waiting for 4 years now. It IS made for some guns that I have never heard of but not My Ruger,

My solution to the loose fit for the level 2 Glock 19 was to put a strip of soft VELCRO at the base of the trigger inside the holster. It still had a little wiggle at the end of the barrel so a 3/4 wide by 1 1/2 inch piece inside the holster where the bottom of the barrel touches and a 1/2 x 1 inch piece where the top of the barrel touches near the front site. Both inside the holster frame. This simple fix will prevent scratching, provide much less wiggle and protect the Glock's finish.

This holster is a bit bulkier than my standard daily IWB carry -- but it fits great. I had never used this type of holster. I can draw quickly and easily with it. The design has it set off of my hip a bit more than I'm used to, but my "inside waist band" holster is obviously going to be very snug against me. I can easily wear a jacket over this and not have a noticeable bulge. I have seen no evidence that this holster is marking / marring the gun or rubbing funny. It fits very well... not too tightly, not too loosely. It doesn't shake as I walk or run, but it slips right out without any effort (as long as I am pushing the button). Regarding the paddle-type holster. I had never used a holster that clipped like this. I'm amazed how well it stays on and stays in place without a belt restraining it. I clip this over my existing belt (or jeans with no belt) and it stays up pretty well. I thought it would sag or pull downward MUCH MORE than it does... it barely shifts around. In a close-quarters struggle, this holster seems like it would take a lot to be removed accidentally. Based on the button and the angle required to draw the weapon, this appears to be a great setup to avoid losing your weapon. A LEO told me that the most important thing to him is to be able to hang on to his weapon in that situation. He carries a holster like this and was impressed at this one-- especially for the price.

Just a caution as with all serpa holsters, they eventually will scratch the gun. I lined mine with a bit of fleece. It's amazing what that can do for you.

Well, i got the Blackhawk Serpa Level 2 Sportster with the paddle, and LOVE IT already. Just for an idea of size and all, i carry a Beretta 92. *The paddle seems to take some stress off the belt line which is a plus. *It is adjustable on the paddle so you may change the angle of the weapon which is another great feature. *It has an adjustable trap, so you can customize how easy the draw is ( i have mine fairly loose and its still locked in there super tight ) *the release button is very easy to control and while drawing i notice my finger is at the stand-by position along the slide.
