Yes I have Sir
Exultant video, on assembly and proper use. Dispels all the negative videos and comments. All comes down to a little training, drawing from this holster is now second nature, don't even think about it. Thank You for the video.
Picked one up for my M&P and it fits absolutely perfect. It is an oustanding design and allows for an amazing fast draw and the gun automatically finds itself nicely going back into the holster. You CANNOT make this gun come out for any reason without pushing the lock button. As this video demonstrates, if you keep your trigger finger straight it finds itself perfectly aligned for the master grip. I recommend this for EVERYONE!
Nicely done video, Sootch. I'm a retired 25-year retired LEO. I've been using and carrying handguns for over 30 years. Even with all that familiarity and training, every 3-4 years, I would start putting my trigger finger in the guard on the draw. It would get to the point that I would be concentrating on that instead of just making a natural draw. I found the SERPA holster was a great and affordable "rehab" for my lapse of muscle memory. As for the paddle latch getting dirt in it a jamming/locking the gun into the holster? I've had my original SERPA so long, I can't even remember which LGS I bought it at. I've never had ANY type of problem drawing my weapon from it. But then, I'm not a lazy slug when it comes to cleaning and inspecting my equipment, either. I give the Blackhawk SERPA holster...a thumbs up. :)
Thanks for the great review. The silicone spray was a great tip. I purchased the CQC Carbon Fiber for my SW99 and Matte Finish for my M&P Shield and sprayed both before use. Thanks again!
I've used these holsters with several of my handguns and they've all been great. Good review as always.
Great video showing all the features of the Blackhawk Serpa holster. Thanks Sootch
Thank you for the demonstration it was excellent as always your demonstrations are always 10 stars
Well, after watching seven videos on the Serpa holster I just bought for my Springfield XD Mod 2, your video answered all of my questions. I'm glad you showed how to put it together. No real instructions came with my box. Also, I want to point out is because of your videos, your review over the Springfield XD Mode 2 Grip Zone pistol, is in fact the reason I bought mine. Thank You.
I have had the same holster for years with no problems, "Love it"
Blackhawk thought out this holster system very well. All bases covered. Good video!
I bought a Serpa Holster for my Glock 21 SF just over a year ago. I got it in the firearms dept. of a fleet-farm store. It was under 50 bucks. I not only like the solid retention and quick draw ability, but I especially like that it comes with both owb belt and paddle capabilties. You get a good holster, with versatility, and at a very decent price. the Serpa and my Galco black leather 45 degree cant high-rise holster(which I bought with my Glock), are the two holsters that I use the most for EDC. Great review as usual!
4/2019 Love this holster. Many people knock it but remember folks.. train train and train

But we all know that, if we don't want to shoot, we should keep our trigger finger out of the trigger guard, right? One can certainly train to have the finger in there and not to shoot, but it's easier to fail that way, it's proximity. Introducing trigger finger movement during the draw cycle, when we absolutely don't want to shoot at that time for sure, is looking/asking for trouble. Training helps, but why play with matches when we don't want to start a fire? :)

And hope that the ”training, training, training” would kick in, when you face a sudden life threatening situation. If not, you would have to deal with the threat, already seriously injured. So, why taking such risks? Because you ”love this holster”.

Got one of these for my M&P before they made one for the M&P, before they were available in stores, when you still had to order from Blackhawk... It's actually for a Glock 21. The person I talked to at Blackhawk actually walked around until they found someone with an M&P and tried holsters until she found the one that fit. Carried it while contracting in Afghanistan, Africa, and South America. Never a problem. Had to change paddles last year, but the rest is still going strong. It also fits my Canik SFX.
I love my Blackhawk holster, it has always carried my Glock 30sf. Great holster.
Thank you sootch for putting this reveiw up.
love the holster...have always wanted one just never got one. so thank god its Christmas ! long live the republic!
Thanks for the video and explaining all the adjustments, I just bought one for my Glock 20SF and love it . I gave you a thumbs up and Subscribed.
Thanks sooch just got my first Glock and you help me decide what holster to get I know you would never steer me wrong
best video of this holster I've seen,,especially the parts about the holster having no seams & using the silicone spray
The best holster i ever bought. Got one for my smith and wesson m&p.
Love those outtakes!!!
Nice job explaining things Sootch. I just got this holster and it seems like a winner.
Excellent review video. Much appreciated. I've been looking at conceal carry holsters and this video is really helpful and informational. Thank you.
Thanks for posting, I just bought one yesterday.
Great review Sootch. I am looking at different options now for concealed carry and this really helps.
Really enjoying your videos. Thanks!
I picked one of these up today , really like it.
Great tutorial you really helped me out a lot thanks
These serpa holsters rock, I have 2, one for my usp compact 9mm and the other for my glock 19 !
Great review, thank you!
Superb video, as usual. Very thorough on details. This looks like a very nice holster. Keep up the excellent videos.
I just got my first one in today. And I have to say its the best holster I’ve had. Solid.

I've got a Serpa for my Glock 19. Great option for outside the waistband carry. Comfortable and versatile and carries pretty well cross-draw as well. Great review Sootch! For an inside the waistband option, you should give the Crossbreed Supertuck a try. I have this also for my Glock 26 which is my EDC gun. Love it!!! Thanks for posting.
thanks for this video. Very informative.
Thanks for the great video. You explained the functions even better than the salesman at the gun shop.
You videos are getting better and better Brother. Blessings! Larry
I have one and it is awesome. I have practiced with it and when a stressful situation does arise muscle memory will take place.
Great info! My SERPA holster is modeled for a Springfield XD, but it fits my Taurus 24/7 Pro quite securely and snugly without any modification. Got it mainly as a range/open carry holster, but surprisingly, it conceals pretty well (and is comfortable) under an open button-up shirt at the 4:00 position. I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the SERPA quick-disconnect kit, because removing that hooked paddle in a hurry (restroom break or getting in a car) can be really tricky.
Hey Sootch, great review. I have that exact set up. Gun and holster. Works great. Belt is still very important to the system. Haven't tried the nylon belt you have. I'm looking at the Bull belts you talked about. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Excellent review Brother. Thanks for sharing. God bless you!
another great top notch review
Excellent review!👍🏼
Another great video!
Thank you for the tech tips on the serpa holster. I wasnt aware of putting silicone spray on the locking mechanism .
Another great video brother, all my handguns use these and I also use it for my CCW / EDC
Awsome video, The 1st video I watched so far, don't feel the need to wat h any other. Thanks again.
I was training with this holster, weapon retention, hand to hand combat. When he grabbed the rubber gun from the grip he quickly got it out, no buttons pressed. Might just be a flaw on that specific one but I’m now using a safarieland 6260 tlr1.
Used this holster for years on active duty it works well
great reveiw sootch, keep up the top work, take carebud.
Great review....Thanks !
I can tell you are a survivalist with the para cord on your wrist. Nice. All of us needs those just in case of a survival situation.
i have one of these but with a leg panel for 1911 :) this is an awesome holster!
11 years later, with all the experts saying never use it, training schools banning it, and all the haters saying throw it away, have you changed your mind? I still everyday carry my Glock 17 in the serpa strong side outside the waistband
love the bloopers.
Great review!
great job on the info in this video.....
I've had a SERPA since 2004, used it a lot while in the navy. I loved it so much I replaced an Uncle Mike's holster for a S&W40 with one.

Dang ... no need for me (or anyone else) to do a review on this holster system now. Nice work!
Yeah Serpa's are great. When you're coating them in addition to the spray Armor All makes wipes impregnated with the same solution if you want to wipe down the whole holster, the effect is the same.
you are one of the best on youtube
I have one for my Glock and LOVE it. It is way easier to use than my Galco! Not as concealable, but it WORKS great! Thanks for the video SOOCH!
Good review. Thank you
Great review Sootch! I've been using the SERPA Level 3 (with the hood) light-bearing for my duty belt for a couple years now, I'll never go to anything else unless required by the PD. Amazingly, the Level3 is just as fast as the Level 2 Serpa's. I have a level 2 for off duty carry also, just like the one you reviewed. I prefer using the paddle over the belt slide though.
great review
Spot on review
I have used the serpas for years, love it. The high top serpa can not be used to reinsert the gun backwards for the reload when you have lost use of an arm, it will make the weapon get stuck in it, only use the low tops for this drill. It is not the best concealment because it sticks out from the body alot. They are a challenge to draw weakhanded. Other than that I love it. I've never had a "jam" some folks are talking about. To the others quit touting the quals you don't have please. Be You!
Curious if you still feel the same way about the serpa...
Excellent review. A very good holster. It is secure and quick to deploy your weapon. Muscle memory is key in using this and using your weapon. Despite that video of the guy shooting him self in the leg that was on him for not using his weapon and holster correctly. Some guy is putting out a video saying this is a bad holster. He is full of it. Serpa is the best holster. Lever 2. And lever 3 are good ones.
Thank you ..from Thailand :)
Yes sir--Love my serpa--best holster on the market in my opinion...nothing comes close--Good review as always--didnt know about the silicone spray--thanks
Have used the server holster before I have never had any issues I see a lot of KZread videos calling this holster hot garbage I've never had any issues with this holster I love it
Great review, I especially like the bloopers at the end of the clip.
I have one for my SIG P226. Excellent.
Good review.... I have the serpa level 2 for my G27 and Beretta 92F. I also have the blackhawk quick detach/attach and I love it. With the quick detach/attach you can go from hip mount to leg drop, or chest mount very quick and fast. as long as you have the blackhawk system already.
Been thru a few holsters, this is the best by far. Draw and shoot is quick but thats when adrenaline and craziness isn't around. Under pressure you'll find if you didn't get the release depressed in time, it wont depress after you have upward draw on the gun. You'll have to push the gun down depress or keep depressed then redraw. Another issue I have with practice is my hand is always where it needs to be. So I can be quick, but if my draw hand comes from a different direction, everything changes. More practice I guess.
Thanks great video
bought one the other day .......very sweet luv it. also made in the USA
Can you comment as to whether you think the Blackhawk Serpa will accomdate a Glock with a GHOST extended mag release? My current Fobus does, just perfectly - but I'd hate to find out after getting one that there isn't clearance.
The fit of my Sig P226 in my new Serpa level 2 CQC holster was tight enough to make the holster ride up with the gun during the draw. The adjustment screw did not help. Very annoying and potentially dangerous. The solution was silicone as Sootch mentioned. I wiped the interior of the holster with a silicone rag (I don't have a spray). That added enough slip to fix the draw problem. Works like a charm now. Love this holster!
wow verry nice holster
Youre right again! Thank you
Fantastic holster, I currently own 2 one for a G27 and one for S&W 642.
Excelente, gracias!
Great review, .. but as always I also enjoy the out takes.
I love my blackhawk holster
Good video thanks
LOVE IT. !!! HAVE IT!!!!!
Everything I needed to know... thank you!
I have this hoster for my glock 17 , very good.
I have one for my PX 4 and was looking for different options for a Glock, but I'll probably end up with another one these.
Love this holster. I must say the paddle is much better than the belt mount.
best and most info by far,, thank you!
THANKS!!! GREAT INFO!!! I
Best holster review I've seen. Very thorough! Thanks.
Just ordered Serpa paddle for j frame. Is there anyway I could appendix carry with either paddle or loop? Thanks. You do a great job Joe
