All above are decent..but look at blade-tech, side armor and comp-tac

I use a blackhawk on duty, and for concealed carry I use the blackhawk as well. both have never failed and work reliably (even after rolling around in the mud, blood and grime). For a short while I tried the als system as a few of the older deputies swore by safariland, but I found that the als didn't always reliably release, and if I didn't pull perfectly up the gun bound up in the holster.

Although as a note, the blackhawk cqc serpa concealment holsters are technically level 1 as they have an open front.

The Safariland 6378 ALS holster is by far the fastest and safest OWB kydex holster I ever seen. The locking lever is between you and your weapon, not on the outside where a BG can get to it. The Serpa holster with it's retention button on the outside, activated by the trigger finger is a AD waiting to happen. Go to your nearest LE supply and see the Safariland 6378 for yourself.
I believe the part# you want is 6378-283-411-K15 for RH.

Thank you guys :)

My choice is Serpa CQC holster. Just came from the fire-range :

Excellent draw and good level of retention .

so you like it eh? I'm either gonna get it or a safariland...can't decide though.

Yep, very smooth draw . Safariland ASL was to complicated for me :)
Also a belt loop/paddle interchangeable option serves my certain needs.
