There was once a group of 4 guys having dinner. Three had ALS, one had a SERPA. The SERPA guy had ALS envy.

There was more envy than just holsters that night, but that won't be spoken of!

The I just Fing shot myself guy.

I went to Tex Grebners youtube channel, and asked him what he thought about the serpa. He responded.

ME

I feel bad about your leg. A lot of people keep blaming your mishap on the choice of holsters. I was wondering,do you blame the shooting on the holster or holster mechanism ? People are using what happened to you as a justification to hate on the serpa design.

Tex

I do not like Serpas I gave them a chance and I shot myself while using a sepra, I am not saying that the Serpa is the reason I shot myself but i dont like my trigger finger doing anything but making the gun go bang. i believe a Serpa is a holster of Murphies law. but I dont say dont use them but i dont recommend them to people i like.

The duty one is probably level III retention.. it has the SLS hood which means there is a flip up hood or "arch" that goes over the gun... and the ALS retention system. you push a button, that hood flips forward and out of the way, then you push the thumb retention button and draw normally. The one I posted is level II.... just has the thumb retention button.

See the red picture towards the left... shows the front of the holster.... you push button 2 down and flip the hood forward..... then hit button 1... and gun will release...

On this page there is a sweet video that shows how it works.

The 6378 that I carry does not have the SLS hood, but still employs the ALS locking system.

Thats the one I had, but only paid 38$.


I liked the suede liner though. Took some felt and some epoxy, and lined the inside of the blackhawk with it to accomplish the same thing.
