Problems with a Serpa Holster | Homestead Security | Forums

For some unknown reason, the administration at my agency saw fit to interrupt my four day weekend to qualify some of the reserves and constables. I wasn’t very happy about it, but I will never turn down the opportunity to shoot ammo I don’t have to pay for.

I always try to make the best of every opportunity to train and today I learned I have some lightly used Blackhawk Serpa level 1 holsters for sale.

One of the Constables was wearing a Serpa level III duty holster. Half way through a volley that followed a prone position volley he raised his hand to advise he was having trouble. His holster had locked up and would not release his weapon. As seen in the photo below a small rock had slipped in behind the index finger latch. This prevented the latch from releasing the weapon. It appeared as though the rock had become lodged in the holster while he was in the prone position. The index finger latch is the same on all the Serpa’s regardless of the retention level. Not a good design.
