Re: Just Say No To Serpa?

IMHO, if one wants a retention holster for cc, go right ahead.

There have been issues with deployed Soldiers and the holster getting jammed orthe snap breaking off. That means pistol "no come out". No, I have no links.

Do not look at what is bought for use over there as any recommendation. These holsters are not in the US Govt supply system, they do not have a NSN (unless it changed within the last year). They are bought by units with a Govt CC from black hawk. The guy buying them may be buying them becasue they are known item and he has no idea about holsters. He may have seen someone else with them. It is not because any tests where conducted by Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

When deployed, the least number of things to break the better. You want one, fine, use one. But do not assume it is combat approved, tested, or endorsed by Soldiers or the Military.

I have no doubt people know Soldiers over there who have one of these holsters. They may be happy with them. But many folks over there use the holster to carry a pistol so they can get in the chow hall, in that case, there will never be an issue. No insult to anyone over there, that was my purpose on my second trip over.

To each his own.
