Name one holster that has even half the reports of jamming/breaking/injury that the Serpa does.
It doesn't take a brick wall falling on me or a bullet going through my leg for me to get the message.

I'm not betting my life on a electrical tape fix applied to a very poorly made holster. No thanks.Beiruty wrote:De-activate the trigger guard lock tab.

No more SERPA phobia.
I have a Serpa. When I started reading about it's failings, I examined mine. They're right... it's junk.

The SERPA Stinks, And That’s Just All There Is To Say About It
This is a subject that is near and dear to Andyc's heart.
https://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2017/04/0 ... -just-say/Let me share with you a brutal truth that is going to hurt the feelings of a lot of people: the BlackHawk! SERPA holster is one of the worst holster designs currently manufactured.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) Field Training Directorate (FTD) launched an investigation of the design after “four incidents.” The resulting research discovered that the user’s trigger finger ended up proximal to the trigger on 25-percent of the draw strokes, and that 13-percent of attempted draw strokes began out of sequence. They concluded (PDF) that the basic design of the holster was likely to greatly increase the likelihood of an “inadvertent discharge,” and concluded that it should not be used in any of their training.
