I’ve done various training over 10 years I don’t consider myself a pro at all but I’ve carried for over 10 years multiple different calibers and pew pew models and sizes. Some with safety’s some without. Never had an issue until I didn’t get proper sleep went through extreme dieting and didn’t hydrate myself. Was in a car with no a/c window up locking up the pew pew and had a heat stroke passing out. When I jolted awake I ended up shootin myself in the leg then through center dash and then passenger door. Accidents happen. I don’t remember any of the shots just going deaf vision blurry then seeing blood. After that adrenaline kicked in I ran inside building had them call cops tied a belt around my leg and elevated it. Didn’t get in trouble with the law. No one else got hurt but I hit a small artery and shattered my fibula bones with a 9mm hollow point. Please listen and take care of yourself mentally, physically and spiritually. I let my guard down and pushed my body to the extreme and paid the price. Also make sure you insurance covers accidents with a firearm or you will not get paid like me

Ive been using a serpa for 7 years as an armed guard. Idk how many times ive unholstered it and not once was my finger guided toward the trigger anymore than a normal holster. Seems like most of the gear queens complaining just dont know what theyre talking about

I own a Serpa holster and usually have an ND every couple of months.

Every Taser sold comes with a Serpa II, how many ND's nave occurred? MY Agency actually mandates the purchase and use of the Serpa while carrying our issued weapon while in plain clothes. 16 yrs, same Level II and III Serpa's, never had an issue. And OMG... I live and work in a sandy environment. Actually wearing one right now. Any ND's or injuries are completely user error and anyone saying no to them has no experience with them and is just parroting the BS they've heard. They're one of the few that actually cover the entire trigger guard. Way too many ND's from gun grabs or children touching an Officers gun and sticking their fingers in there. New vid's are out, instructors are bringing this to students attention. Safariland my next go to choice. Y'all ever carried a triple retention reverse clamshell? 😮

Many ranges will not allow non law enforcement to wear holsters at all "No holsters" do to the danger of one shooting themselves or others. So one can say holsters are dangerous.

I got a few of these.. these got fan-boyed unfortunately. They are just fine.

I use one with my Beretta 92fs, absolutely no issues. A longer DA trigger pull also works as a double safety feature. Striker fired, is definitely another animal.

💯 agree you nailed this! Great educational content.

My favorite holster. I've tried to purposely get my finger to go into the trigger guard, it ends up on the frame. It's people trying to draw faster than their skill level. You have to use tools properly.

Great job. The Arkansas Dept. of Correction use them.

I've got a serpa holster I use a lot, I press the button with my finger fully extended, like you would extend it to keep the finger away from the trigger when holding the gun normally... It's not rocket science.

The retention feature is critical for carry. Many people get knocked down in serious altercations. I don’t want my striker fire gun to go flying outward if I go down. If I go down, that gun is coming with me and staying with me with a Serpa. No brainer!

Most people dont no technique

Missed opportunity at 0:45.

I really hoped he would fart when she pulled his finger.

Very well said it's all about training thank you so much.

Thank you for the teaching and demonstration in this video because I own 2 serpa holsters and every time I look up a video on it All other guntubers wants you to hate the holster. I love this holster it does its job and does it right

The most straightforward explanation I’ve seen on this holster. Nice work man. Subscribing!

Of course they're dangerous. The number one cause of death (or injury) in the USA is SERPA holsters.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I do it the right way naturally. I’ve used one for over fifteen years.

Uhm …you forgot to eject your spent casings.

Well you've never met me, I'm unprogrammable. I don't do anything as expected.😅 I hit buttons with my thumb, knuckles, finger, palm... you name it.😂 Sometimes I knock on them.🤣 I like to be unorthodox and goofy.🤷😢 p.s. I can't believe you didn't cut one when she pulled the finger, that's a shameful once in a lifetime missed opportunity.

Always remember, it is the poor carpenter that blames the tool. Know your equipment, practice with your equipment and maintain your equipment!

A Miscarriage of justice

Ill add it is their only resort....those who special access....

In miltary law it is hand to hand 👌 this is domestic soil...

What un(sic)reasonable mindset would place themselves in the way of harm and overpower those who act in in fear of life and limb ...by definition heinous....cold....barbaric...cruel... unnecessary...impostion...moral torpitude

Whats next? I cannot fathom....

Pen =\ sword.....power in the word...there is....

Their story changes too if you care just..i.fiable...homicide=/ self def. It is agg..assault...36.06 whathaveyou... Id call a spade a spade and charge them with intent.

Verdict =/ plea nor are those who special access able to make nor place apphrenend nor subdue....moral torpitude....the accused has a right to not only 1. Life and the Liberty and Pursuit 2. 6th amendment protections provide for hastly fair trial of the accused to stand trial. Open and shut use it as a confession. Furthermore who is the aggressor? 18 USCA 16 as law is law This video is a risk of violence? I'll continue thank you. 18 USCA 51 1117. Is as it is law.... Not necessarily the 8th Amendment protection? (Death as a form) why grant (un)[sic]civilian(s) the privilege to co- conspire with some? Those who grant themselves special access and special privilege? or if it is law that cannot be reconciled... how is open carry not free speech? Unlawful Assembly and by definition not only is it reckless endangerment, yet it might as well be defined as agg. assaul(t) Sec 11 B 1 b Tex.a(s) State Constitution

Thank you for making this.

This was actually really helpful, thanks!

My finger always lands of the frame every time, no problem whatsoever. It is unnatural for me to curl my finger when I draw, but I tried drawing gun with my finger curled and it still lands on the frame nowhere near the trigger. So people must have bent fingers. Go figure, I really like this holster.

Godzilla!

You can accidentally put your finger on the trigger too soon drawing from ANY holster. I have a Serpa holster and my trigger finger naturally goes to the frame when drawing.

Any holster that facilitates negligent discharges without use of proper technique is inherently dangerous. Competing designs don't have this issue regardless of whether your technique is good, so there is no reason whatsoever to even bother using such an inherently dangerous design in the first place.

I own a Serpa for my Glock 19. It's my favorite holster. If you shoot yourself using this holster it is not the holster's fault. keep your dam finger out of the trigger until you're ready to handle business. Pay attention when you draw your weapon. This is a great level 2 retention holster. I have other ones, but this is my favorite cause it's really quick. Like any product human error is real. Pull the trigger gun goes off. That simple.

A great explanation! BTW… Don’t pull my finger! 😉

Outstanding demonstration and explanation of proper serpa holster technique. The best I have seen. Thank you. As an instructor I also strongly refer everyone to the excellent little blackhawk instruction booklet that comes with each holster. It clearly details proper and safe use IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD STOP AND READ IT. Again thank you for a great video.

...

Serpa holsters show how far too many shooters have crappy technique.

In all Fairness, you don’t need no holster to shoot yourself if your dumb from the start

There is other problems with the serpa holsters th-cam.com/video/a9xIFdCVNOI/w-d-xo.html explains them far better than me. That button with sand or dirt in it is just as deadly.

Nope. They are if you don’t train ever with it then yes very.

2:03 indexed.. perfectly explains how a shooter should be regardless of holster. The Serpa's failure is when using it in the field under dirty conditions. For that reason, the ALS system wins.

Excellent explanation.

sound very copium

Roy Rogers taught us the fishing motion on TV. In every gunfight, they used this motion, possibly because it makes it easier to cock a single-action Army revolver.

Makes sense!
