Please reconsider SOB. If you get slammed on the ground or up against a wall you could do some serious damage.

Gotta agree, plus SOB is difficult to wear sitting down, and easy to print bending over.

I have to agree that SOB holsters are very dangerous to wear.
But hey, it's your spine and your future possibly in a wheelchair. So good luck with it.

Hope they both work for ya. I have a SERPA in pebble for my 1911. It seems to work really well.Originally Posted by kittensrtasty

Another word of advice, some knowledgable folks in the gun world didn't like the SERPA. Apparently a few LE officers had AD's drawing during high stress situations. Accidently pressing hard on the release and then the trigger. These were with Glock pistols specifically.
We had a thread with a link to this issue, might be worth reading if you are gonna use a Glock or similar non manual safety gun and a SERPA.

i will keep it in mind thanks, you can also move it to the strong side and if i get into a strugle that the blade i carry may be used due to the easier access...

SOB is a seriously bad practice. I would HIGHLY recommend that you reconsider your decision. If you need the firearm while seated (ie a carjacking) you're just gonna die with a gun stuck in your butt crack. As previously stated, if you fall or get body slammed, you're running a high probability of losing a kidney, or sustaining a serious spinal injury. Further, in a close quarters situation, all a BG has to do is rush you and pin you to a wall, and you'll be unable to draw your gun. Again, you'll die with a gun stuck in your butt.
A strong side has it all over an SOB in every catagory - speed, safety, retention, concealment, comfort, etc.

Ok I have taken to the great advice and have changed my order to an IWB instead…thanks for the look out.

Don't sweat it - that's what we're here for. I'm glad to hear that you aren't gonna die with a gun in your butt

Kit:
As someone who already HAS spinal damage, I'm glad you've reconsidered your holster choices. I wouldn't wish this kind of life on anyone, I'm sure many others here would agree. That IWB you've got coming is a nice holster and it should serve you well for a long time to come.

BTW kittensrtasty, Elf Kitty says you're gettin' a stocking full of poop for Christmas!

SOB does LOOK extremely cool... humans just like things to be centered and symmetrical.
