Both are quality holsters that will serve you well. You might as well have a Ford vs Chevy debate.

Try them both...see what works for you.

I will ask--in what kind of environment are you going to be using the holster. The reason I ask is--the drop leg holster (as a whole), sucks when you are in a seated position a lot of the time (either in a vehicle or at a desk).

Just my 2 cents...

Both are excellent holsters in my experience, I've used the Safariland drop leg when I was in the service, but I had it for years and it finally cracked, then the Serpa came along and I gave that a try and absolutely loved it.

Just because the Safariland holster cracked doesn't mean its a bad holster, any gear will have its wear and tear, both have been proven well in the battlefield!! :)
