I have a Serpa holster myself. The really nice thing about the way the unlock works is once you draw, your trigger finger is in exactly the right position. Outside the trigger guard pointed down the frame and at the ready. You don't use the point of your trigger finger for the unlock. Your first knuckle does it just fine.KBCraig wrote:As I arrived at work the other day, I reached the front door at the same time as one of our area Deputy U.S. Marshals, and we did the "No, you go ahead!" dance.
I noticed that he was wearing a Blackhawk Serpa (empty, of course, since he was going inside). I was running a bit later than I like to be (15 minutes early, instead of 20-30), so I didn't stop to ask him how he likes it.
I've noticed that several area DUSMs and FBI agents wear the Serpa. They don't make a version for my current main carry pistol (Ruger P97), but when I (eventually!) get a good 1911 carry pistol, I will definitely have the Serpa on my short list.
My only concern is using the trigger finger to engage the release. I believe the trigger finger should have one function, and only one function, when a gun is being deployed. Muscle memory can be a tricky thing. I'm willing to try out and train with a Serpa, but if I notice the slightest tendency for my booger hook to go anywhere near the bang switch after it's just hit the holster release, then that holster will be deep-sixed, never to return.
