I just recently bought a cqc serpa and I love it. I really like how comfortable the paddle is. I haven’t tried the belt attachment but love the paddle. I would recommend it. And I like where the weapon release is. It doesn’t slow down my draw at all. I even draw faster than I did with a thumb break.
It's quick, but I'd highly recommend that anyone who carries a Serpa practice with it. A lot. (I'm sure you have, but I think it's worth mentioning). Try practicing a really fast, almost "panic grab" draw.
I found that until I'd done it a couple hundred times, about one time in ten I'd start to yank on the grip before my finger disengaged the release. If you're already pulling on the grip, you cannot press the release (I can't, anyway), so it's crucial that you train yourself to get that finger down before you start to pull.
I didn't have a similar problem with a thumb brake, partly because you can disengage the snap while pulling but mostly because the brake released before I got a good grip.
