I have one for a 1911 not a bad holster for what it is the retention im still not sure if i like

I will say they are not as tough as black hawk claims 2 mins with the dog well it aint pretty

Yeah, but dogs are tough on anything. I saw a coyote bite off a frozen piece of dead deer once. One bite and it had a good chunk of frozen dinner.

I have one for my Glock 23 and I LOVE IT! It is the best holster I have ever owned, but I am a die hard kydex/polymer guy.

It conceals pretty well for an OWB holster and it is secure as all get out.

I recommend it highly.

I'm actually NOT a polymer guy - I like a good quality leather so that says even more about the holster. The minute my 1911 snapped in there, it felt right. I think the 1911 Serpa is designed better (shape-wise) than the one for my XD. When you draw the 1911 your finger stays in a nice concave grove all the way out. For some reason, my XD Serpa does not have that groove and the finger drags across a relatively sharp edge on the way out (thanks dremel). Maybe that's a reminder to keep your finger straight

Bucket seats are definitely your friend....

I'd hate to be wearing that holster if I was in a patrol car with a bench seat.

How is the draw from way down low like the Serpa Duty holster is? It just looked awfully low down to me.

Sergeant Mac

I find it very natural, comfortable, and.......the absolute FASTEST security holster I've ever used!! The thumb automatically finds the top shroud release, and the index finger automatically finds the SERPA thingamabobbie. Basically, you're just taking a firm grip on the pistol and drawing it up from the holster. The rest takes care of itself.

A bit noisy, though. Especially popping the top shroud, though I have experimented with easing that one off and it CAN be done silently. Otherwise, on a fast draw, there's a loud SNAP! followed by the usual kydex draw sound.

Also, you'll spend a few minutes of trial and error adjusting it on the belt, because the belt attachment doesn't slide AT ALL. Plan to spend some profanity-ridden time with a phillips screwdriver.

I've got 4-5 of them they work real well. I Like them in the drop leg the most. Not that I would ever use a drop leg, unless it was for zombies.
