It's NOT rubberized but it fits LIKE A GLOW. NOBODY can "yank" it out. I carry it EVERY with the paddle. LOVE the Serpa. Just finished of my Serpa Shoulder Harness today for my S&W 4006. I gotthe H&K P30 that fits for it. I carry my Kimber strong side in with the Paddle.

GET IT cuz YOU will LOVE IT

It can indeed be adjusted, but it is not a "roto" type adjustment. You must unfasten three screws that connect the paddle to the mounting plate on the body of the holster, then adjust the can't. All in all, it's a wonderfully stable and secure system that I think you will enjoy. Every single person that I have ever met/heard from that has bought it, loves it (myself included

)

Your right, vmathis12019.

It can be worn as an FBI cant, straight cant and as a crossdraw cant.

I like mine. I use the belt loop attachment rather than the paddle, though. The paddle is plenty secure, but I find the belt loop more comfortable, and I like the fact that it allows me to slide the holster forward on the belt to position it in front of me where I can see it when I'm standing and to slide it back out of the way when I sit. The good thing is that the holster comes with both, so you can use whichever you like.

The other posters covered the adjustability.

Both of my primary carry weapons have those holsters. I usually carry them with the paddle attachment with an FBI cant as that adjustment makes it pretty much vertical when seated and comfortably canted forward standing, but either way, the firearm is always easily accessible. I'm planning on purchasing a CQC shoulder holster platform for them as well. Obviously I like them.

Thanks.

Sounds like a good holster then, would still prefer the paddle to be rubberized though.

The new paddles are more flexible and somwhat smaller than the previous paddle design. Obviously others agree with you.

We have three of them, the paddles are really comfortable and hold the gun very close to your body. I'm not sure what you call rubberized, but these paddles are flexible, strong,and have three great retention features. The gun retention in the holster is excellant too!! With a good belt these are great holsters!!!

Are the ones on http://www.botachtactical.com/ the real and full SERPA at BlackHawk CQC SERPA Holster - Active Retention - Matte Finish ? I've seen them mentioned a few times before but I'm wary considering they're selling them for $33 and the official site has them for $50+... I know there's manufacturer markup but that's quite a bit.

Either Parts of or the whole paddle being covered with rubber to aid in grip of the clothing it's attached to, and sometimes increase the comfort.

They are the real ones. I buy my ones at the local Police Equipment Store at $33-40 dollars a piece.

ANY "Official" manufacturer sales their stuff at a higher price than dealers.

I saw this thread today and happened to be in the market for a Level II holster. I was previously using the Galco Matrix MX5 which has only a tension screw for retention so it is Level 0. As I have been doing more open carry, I have felt less and less comfortable with that rig. I wanted to avoid a gun grab.

What I like about the Galco is that it holds the gun very close to my body and has the FBI cant, also it's one of the few holsters made specifically formy CZ P-01. From reading the CZ forum, I know that most holsters that are made for the Glock 19 are a near perfect fit for the P-01, so I stopped by Diamondback Police Supply on my way home from work. I popped my CZ into the holster and sure enough- perfect fit. :celebrate

As I speak it's on my side with the FBI cant set up on the paddle- WAY more comfortable than my old holster. So far as gripping the clothing- that's the only downside I see so far- It grips too well- I have to practice taking it off. Damned thing is almost impossible to pull off of my pants. :cuss:

Keep in mind, these holsters are not actually level 2. They're level 1.

Try a Blackhawk CQC Serpa holsterand you won't be disappointed - they are very comfortable with the paddle configuration, we got ours from: www.impactguns.com .
