holds up well to everyday use.

I use this holster for off duty carry as it has the same mechanics as my Serpa 3 duty holster without the hood.

Great off duty holster, easy access to weapon but still provides safety retention

Great holster for off duty, and I also use this for secondary duty use. I would reccomend this for everyone!

Very comfortable. Affords quick access to my weapon while still providing good weapon retention. Very durable, holds up well to daily concealed carry.

I have always been a little worrysome about carry a holster with any signifigant retention. I spent a very long time going through a lot of paddle holsters for off duty use, as I carry where ever I go. I purchased the this holster and could not be happier. I use the paddle with this and like it because it comes with features which allows the holster to remain secure and not move at all. The finger release on the side is very reliable and haven't found any problems of when I draw the finger going "into" the trigger port. It actually positions the trigger finger almost exactly where it needs to be following the "Finger off the trigger rule."
I have had people test the ability to remove the weapon from the holster or even get the entire paddle off my belt, and have not seen anything that concerns me. I actually have difficultly simply removing the paddle from my belt at times because it is so secure to my belt. There is also no problems of the weapon accidently coming out of the holster when running which is due to the SERPA feature. Lastly, it does not stick out as far when carrying concealed off duty, which is always a plus.

Love this Holster

I have purchased too many holsters in my time that have fallen entirely short when it comes to form and function. After purchasing this holster for my FN five-seven and carrying it for over a year in this rig, I purchased one for every other pistol I own....which means I have a lot of them! I LOVE this holster and so will you.

Best CID/off-duty holster to have. Love it and am about ready for another as I have torn mine up pretty good. I would not recommend getting the one with the carbon fiber look. That one only has some plastic like material attached to it which tears really bad.

I have the thigh set up with mag attachment and cant say enough about it. The draw is easy and right there. Stays with you on the run, and attaches right to my regular patrol gear. If your going hands on the gun drops in with out effort.

I own several Handguns & have CQC holsters for ALL of them. Holster comes w/ Paddle and Belt Rig, easy to interchange and Concealable even when I wear a Sports Jersey.

Absolutely love this holster use it for off duty carrying.

Unless you get on the range and really spend a concerted amount of time drawing your weapon, you may miss the draw when necessary. I had one. I invested in a tactical pistol course for the heck of it using this holster. It took quite a number of draws for it to become just one step closer to muscle memory. You gotta practice a lot with this one.

I have this holster in the level III. being a K9 handler, I worried about the level II especially tracking in a thick wooded environment. The level III has been flawless, great retention. quick draw. When and if I replace this holster it will be with another SERPA Level III

I just bought this holster. I love the locking feature.

I’ve utilize it both for on duty and off duty, its a great holster for smooth draw and great retention. I got the duty holster first and loved it so much I got the concealment for off-duty and when I work a plain cloths bodyguard detail. I had the fobus concealment holster and was dissatisfied with it performance and was unable to smoothly draw from it.

Good holsters,except we are finding out the hard way here in Iraq that if dirt gets in the release button you are screwed it is almost impossible to get your pistol out! But they hold up very well !
by the way its the thig holster that we are having problems with. Other than that i have 2 of these same holsters at home and they are awsome.

Have used on it on duty working security and when ever I go out off duty. I love it

Great holster, use it to carry when not on a mission. IT is essential to keep it clean, as it will make it difficult to draw when needed most. Conceals well under the duty unifrom (if your not a fat body).

this product is dependable , light weight , sleek in the design and most of all very durable

Excellent Holster! Holds the firearm pretty secure. The only downfall is that it is somewhat bulky, so conceled carry is difficult. But I guess thats why they make IWB holseters.

I love the fact that this holster comes with a belt slide and paddle attachment. It give you a carry option. It's easy to get the weapon out of the holster and into the fight.

Great holster! I use this in Iraq and it is a good holster that makes it easy to get out when needed, but secures it. The push button allows for another layer of protection to secure the weapon when running, unlike other "snap in" holsters.

this is awsome protects well easy to get weapon out when ready and light weight.

This is the best off-duty holster I have ever used. I can't imagine wearing anything else.

Great holster for officers in an administrative position or for training bureau officers that wear their firearm exposed. I have worn my Glock in this holster while off-duty, but the weapon tends to stick out a bit more than I would like for off-duty carry. Pancake-type concealment holsters or in-the-pants hosters work better for concealment. I like the retention system, and it is very confortable for all day carry.

I have the olive drab verison of this holster for a Glock 23 (it also fits my Glock .45 Slimline Single Stack) and I have found it you be the most practical and comfortable kydex holster that I have ever owned.

This is a GREAT holster. With either the belt slide or the paddle attached it is very secure and once you get a little practiced on the draw they are very fast and reliable. I'm hard on equipment and don't usually rate very high but these holsters are great for off duty or plain clothes asignments.

Solid and secure holster with a lock that falls naturally at your index finger

Great holster, I used the same version on a drop leg holster while Iraq. Natural draw and ease of use.

This is the holster I use off-duty for concealed, carries very close to the hip and almost impossible to detect. Plus the added retention button adds an extra little bit of security.

By far the best holster I have found for plainclothes work. Fast, secure and lightweight. I carry this model back home and use this model and the thigh rig version here in the Afghanistan desert. The dust doesn't faze it and it wears very well.

As an investigator, my department issues a different holster than this one. The issued holster is far more complicated to draw from. I actually purchased this holster on my own, which proved to be the best law enforcement investment I've made in a long time. It allows you to smoothly draw your weapon, is VERY light, and durable. It also can be worn with a dress suit for investigators.

it took some time to adjust to it, but after a little practice it is a smooth draw without the worry of losing you gun. i even use for IPSC matches now just so i don't get complacent and there isn't much difference in my times.

We tried this holster out in the level III for duty use and got one from the Blackhawk sales representative. We put a Sig p229 DAK in the holster and could not get it out. It was the correct model and make for that gun. We had to take the holster apart to get the gun out. Blackhawk replaced the test holster for evaluation. The representative said some guy at the factory screwed it up in the process of making it. Needless to say the first impression had an impact on our department's choice of duty holster. That being said I do have 3 of this model I use with my P220, P229R and 1911 Reveloution. They work fine, however I did check them over really well before putting them into service, practice religiously and put time in on the range with them.

I carry this holster for both my duty and off duty weapons. Simple and secure. The belt loop version is much more stable than the paddle.

I carry this on duty and in detectives. I wish they had a smaller one for my Defender.

Used for off-duty carry, I find it very comfortable.

This holster is awesome! I wear it on a daily basis as a off duty concealment holster. The locking device rocks. It's super smooth to draw your weapon, retenion is awesome. The paddle stays put without trying to remove itself from your belt line. It is the best concealment holster I have ever bought. I highly recommend this product.

This is an excellent holster with a smooth draw and instant security upon holstering.

great fit for concealment

Own this, great to use for training classes. Like it so much, carry it off duty as well. Using it with a Glock 17 and Glock 19, works great.

This is one of the best off duty holsters that I have ever used in my 34 years, I have been using mine with a springfield xd 9mm

Pretty good holster, great for the cost. Would be nice to be able to set the cant (tilt).

I use this product for both on and off duty. It works great.

Great Holster its is easy to use holds your weapon very nicely no complaints

Great off duty holster, easy access to weapon but still provides safety retention

This holster holds up very well. I like it mostly b/c I have a sig and it greatly reduces visability when you carry with it concealed on your persons

I got one today because i am getting into IDPA, i used it with a friends Glock26. I think its great. Its not the easyest holster for me to conceal, Mostly because im a big guy. But i love it.

Love the auto-tension, and I didn't find it hard to conceal at all.

Very good product for the price!

Affordable, reliable and easy to use. Has good retention, and an easy draw. There is no snapping up when you reholster you slide back into the holster and the gun is secure. Great product.

Like the way it fits like a glove, you sense the power it carries just by the look. Always need this baby just in case

When I worked armed security, I chose my Spriendfield XD .45 Tactical. Unless I wanted to pay over $100 for a holster, the only other option was an Uncle Mikes Universal nylon one. I bought a serpa holster for the XD and I haven't been dissapointed. You can adjust the holster so that it cants forward to your preference, this helps a lot, especially if you ever want to draw while sitting down and it helps greatly for weapons retention.

Although the holster fit a bit loose, a few adjustments with a heat gun and it molded into a tight fit.

Once you trasition and become familiar with this holster as opposed to a thumb break holster the draw stroke seems more fluid. but if you rush it you will have problems. It takes some good reps to be comfortable with. If you get one watch the screw below the release when it backs out the holster still works but it holds a small tensioning piece and the pistol will rattle around. In the drop leg set up that makes a hell of alot of noise. Heard some people talking about the release locking up in dusty environments. Been in Baghdad for a few months now and have had no problems with it. Definately would spend my own money on it.

Great rig. I have this for my 1911 and it feels and works great.

I know a few bad thing have been said about this holster,but I have found no fault with it.

This is by far the BEST holster I have used in 21-years. I use this for my off-duty Glcok 26. It comes with both a belt loop and paddle option. The weapon locks in perfectly, and with a swift touch of the release with your trigger finger the weapon comes out smoothly placing your finger right on top of the trigger or trigger guard. Get this if your tired of hard to remove weapon holsters or thumb snaps.

Not only do i have this holster for my glock 23, I also have this holster for my Beretta 92F series for military carry as well for when I deploy again here shortly. It conceals my 23 perfect for me. Couldnt have asked for a better product.

i really like this holster,I use it for my XD and Glock 21.I like the idea that the release button is where your trigger finger is suppose to be and you dont have to fiddle with alot of retention devices.

This is by far the best holster on the market. I have one for all of my sidearms.

Comfortable and lightweight, security is easy to test. Worn daily in plain clothes and off duty.

LOVE IT!!!! I use it for my XD-9. Very concealable and very secure.

I just bought one of these about 6 months ago and I love it...being female, the hips usually don't agree with the typical paddle holster. But the paddle on this one is wider and very comfortable, even after a 12+ hour shift. I also really like how the retention system allows a quick, smiooth draw.

My whole department is isuued these. I really like mine. Very comfortable and secure.

I love this holster. I haven't had any problems with it. The belt loop is just a little more secure in my opinion, but the paddle has it's advantages also. Great quality! I've thought about getting the thigh rig, but I think it has to much going on.

BEST HOLSTER I HAVE EVER OWNED.

works well, no complaints.

This is a very good product especially if you are in tough enviroments that is hard on your leather holsters. I use mine off duty and on duty on lake patrol.

This Holster offers great protection I love the fact that I have a double retention. I prefer the closeness of the paddle but it dose make the gun stick out more. All around great of duty holster

Easy access especially with the added option to have it where i need it on my TAC Vest!!

Good holster, the only complaint I have is, it makes it a little harder to conceal a full size firearm

I just purchased two of these holsters, one for my Sig P229 .357 and the other for my Glock 33. These holsters are comfortable, secure and allow for easy unholstering.

The release mechanism works great and falls in line with the trigger finger perfectly. The holster feels secure and the fit and finish is nice. The only problem I've had is one of the belt width adjustment screws seems to be stripped and I cannot adjust it to fit a smaller belt. It was like this when I purchased it and I found it when I initially tried to adjust it.

Great holster. Bought one for off duty and plain clothes details. Easy to get used to, fast draw.

I really. like this product. It serves me will

I use this holster for plain cloths, and off duty carry. Adjustable retention. Low profile. There are not cons to this holster.

I USE THIS HOLSTER EVERYDAY. BLACKHAWK IS MY TOP PICK WHEN IT COMES TO A HOLSTER. IT IS ALSO A VERY SAFE HOLSTER.

I have the dropleg & I have the chest rig for molle straps...great for drivers as a drop leg is not optimal while driving. The push button on these holsters leaves your trigger finger exactly where it needs to be, right outside the trigger well. I've heard some say that the spring in the release button goes bad but I've had both of mine for over a yr & a half with daily use & no issues.

The screws loosen very easily. Must always check or use lock tite. Other option is to get a real holster.

The Serpa is a poorly designed but well marketed holster that has a user to press in with the finger tip as they draw their pistol.

Some times the finger ends up right on the trigger pressing inward well before it would be safe to do.

I have also seen seasoned operators unable to draw from a Serpa holster under stress. I have also seen debris accumulate under the release button and "lock" the holster.

I love mine, I agree with sarge in that you do have to practice your draw with this holster but it becomes second nature. Some of the older guys (no offense Sarge) are not used to the new stuff and fine with the old school strap and are probably better off staying with it. But I purchased this holster practiced my draw with an unloaded weapon, adjusting tention and so on. i had to draw under stress the third day of owner ship and was out and focused faster than everyone on the scene. Re-holstering is great and easy while making an arrest

One of the best holsters I have ever used. It is the only plain clothes holster I use.

I use it off duty. Great holster.

I love this holster, I use it for off duty all the time

a must have

The best holster I have ever carried! Comfortable, practical, secure, and easy to use.

Great retention holster.

Awesome

I swore by my Bianchi paddle lock until I went to my DT instructor recert. I was in my duty gear and weapon retention (was stressful folks) told me that the paddle lock, that I normally would wear, could be removed from me. So I needed a holster that would stay on my belt and was secure. A thumb snap was easy to release and the weapon could be removed so that was out. This is the one. It's durable, gives the protection needed, and secures to my belt for weapon retention safety. I am very happy with this holster and recommend it highly. Peace, Ice

The comfort of knowing that my gun will not be taken from me, that is awesome! I lve it!

This is my off duty holster and I really like it. Great compliment to the Serpa Level 3 which is my duty holster and the one I recommend to all of my trainees and coworkers.

I use this holster a lot with my secondary weapon, a Glock 27, and it just flat out rocks!

I have one of these holsters for each of my sidearms. I've thrown away all other holsters.

great holster quick release

Grate holster.

I just got three of these holsters... one each for my .45's and one for the .40. I like the way they ride and the ease of draw they present.

Great product. I love the retention device. Quality is second to none.

I love this holster. I use it on and off duty for both my Glock and my Taurus 1911 AL.

I use this holster for my Sig P228 for regular carry and cannot find a single bad thing to say about it. I have on order in the duty configuration and can't wait to get it and use it. I intend to get one for my Glock as well and now that I see they came out with one, for the Smith J-frame.

I wear this everyday it is very comfortable and its very secure but fast and it rides at a perfect level for me, I wished thay would had this holster back when I was working.

it seems to be perfect for on duty but not in plian clothes

used it in iraq and here on the streets

This is really better then any other holster I have carried Makes Concealed carry better in every way

Perfect! This holster, in combination with my Glock 23... Can't be beat. Recommend for all!
