Black Hawk Serpa Holster
I bought my first pistol not too long ago and so far its been one of the most enjoyable hobbies I have ever had (along side tomato gardening) [:D] I grew up with guns but mainly I was shooting skeet and things of that sort.
I just recently ordered a black hawk Serpa paddle holster for my gun and was wondering what others have to say about this product.
I had a choice between the fobus roto paddle holster, a blade tech holster, and the black hawk...those are the only paddle holsters of that style I could find and it seemed like the black hawk had most of what I wanted.
(note: I tried a nylon holster and the family friendly description is that it sucked. I had to holster it with 2 hands and it really wasn't comfortable at all on top of that. I got a refund on it already, but the bad experience did kick me off researching 900 holsters of which I am only through about 100 of them)
I am primarily going to use the holster for tooling around the property doing stuff or when I am just shooting around or maybe at a range or something. So far I don't have my concealed carry so that is not a concern yet but I do plan to take the class soon. (I was actually considering getting the crossbreed super tuck if I do concealed thing, so you can comment on that one too)
I don't know if you can use the serpa holster as a concealed holster or not, that is unless I wear a big jacket or something, but any comments about the concealability of it will be extremely welcome. If you want to look it up the product number is #410029BK-R. I am shooting a taurus 24/7 pro ds .40.
My reasoning for buying the blackhawk vs the others is that it had several features...
1. It seemed like it attaches good to the waist and hopefully its comfortable.
2. The button feature locks the weapon in, but the retention is still adjustable. It will come out only when you want it out but its not 'stuck' in the holster requiring a hard snatch as I heard happens with the fobus.
3. It is adjustable for cant and other things as well as swappable for belt carry as well as paddle carry.
4. Above all I tried on a paddle holster once and it was very comfortable. I am hoping the one I bought is the same on the comfort level.
The fobus looked very comfortable, but it looked kind of cheap...that being said it was adjustable in every way known...which I liked...but for that one it came down to the retention.
The blade tech and the fobus both were passive retention which I don't know if I like as much although I can only judge from the looks and maybe a youtube video. Everyone so far says the fobus holster has really tight retention and I don't think its adjustable. That being said the button thing on the serpa might be appealing if I am working outside and dont need to worry about it being snagged or whatnot. Again, I am not concerned about quick draw unless its on some rattle snake or some rabid dog out here in the country.
