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.
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!
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.
The best shooters on earth prep the trigger as the gun comes up. This is just an unsafe holster design. If you aren’t putting your finger on the trigger until the gun is on target, you are the one that has to train more. get a Safari land if you require a level two holster the only way that these are safe, is if you are running a double action gun.
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.
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
Think about why the people who shoot more rounds than 99.9999% of people on earth tell you why to hate the holster. It might be because they know a little something they are universally hated, they are the only holsters banned by name in top level competitions. That means the people who train more than anyone else on the planet all universally agree that it is an unsafe design.
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.
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.
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.
Not only that but when people are trained but never was trained under stressful situations and draw and shoot them selves its because they grab the gun and with the fight or flight reflex hit the trigger. Also if you are open carry with the serpa you finger naturally goes to the button and now if you have to fight for control of the gun your finger is on the button while fighting for it. This video better explains it and demos all the things wrong with the serpa. th-cam.com/video/a9xIFdCVNOI/w-d-xo.html
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.

@@Philmoscowitz Some holsters do absolutely nothing whatsoever to facilitate that. Serpa holsters do, in fact, operate in such a way to facilitate that. You don't know more than shooting copetitions, law enforcement agencies, government agencies, etc.
@@Philmoscowitz It's not my usual practice, and the point is that agencies, both public and private, that constantly deal with holsters almost universally ban this style of holster. They do so because of experience. Also, the name is just that, my name. I'm actually named Lawless; the irony goes beyond just that, lol.
So if you go down hard in a serious physical altercation you’re ok with the risk of your striker fire gun flying outward and potentially going off? I slipped on ice today and went down hard. There’s not a holster out there that would have retained my gun except a retention holster like Serpa. It’s all about tradeoffs my friend. LEOs are notorious for negligent discharges and that don’t have Serpa holsters so what’s your point?
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.

The most straightforward explanation I’ve seen on this holster. Nice work man. Subscribing!
Excellent explanation.
Very well said it's all about training thank you so much.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I do it the right way naturally. I’ve used one for over fifteen years.

Makes sense!

Most people dont no technique
I agree
Always remember, it is the poor carpenter that blames the tool. Know your equipment, practice with your equipment and maintain your equipment!

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

Come on man that's not a spelling error.
The firearm is dangerous if not properly used
Nope. They are if you don’t train ever with it then yes very.
sound very copium
My boy ODed on the copium
