The only serpa that will work is the one that works with the blackhawk tactical light. So if you want a serpa, you have to buy the blackhawk serpa tactical light to go with it.



Fortunately for you, they only make it for glocks at the moment.

Safariland makes quite a few holster designed to accommodate tactical lights. Most of them are leather thumb break style, but they also have an ALS holster as well. The ALS similar to the Serpa design, in that a mechanism locks the handgun into the holster and requires a simple push of a button to draw. The difference is that the ALS locks onto the ejection port, and is bypassed by pressing down with the thumb as you pull with your fingers to draw. It is a very natural motion, and the whole system is superior to the Serpas IMHO.

Notice the SLS hood (looks like a thumb strap) and guard. Both of these can be removed (or you can just order the holster w/o them). If you're lucky enough to have a Safariland dealer around, go check them out. I ordered one blindly off the internet, but have been nothing but impressed with it. I personally carry a standard ALS model with no SLS hood or guard.
