Editor of the video either left that in deliberately or has no idea about the subject matter.
Actually, "left that in" is probably the wrong way to put it. He intentionally used that particular draw footage for the slow-motion example shot. |

Are you being critical because the angle makes it look like he 'might' have swept his support hand?

That was close
Couple years ago at a USPSA match my squad rotated to the next stage. They still had 1-2 shooters to go. We heard "load and make ready. Holster- BAM!" 20 year shooter. Bullet went in his thigh and down to his knee cap. I saw him last year waiting for the match to start and asked how his leg was- first thing out of his mouth- "I still don't know how it happened." Funny. I knew as soon I as I heard "BAM!" |

I don't get it. How is the holster junk?
It's no different than any other holster. It does its job. If you have poor trigger discipline, you're gonna have problems, and it has nothing to do with the holster. Know how to use the damn tool. Flame away. I give zero F's. |

You posted this in the same thread as the video of a dude pressing in with his trigger finger to release the pistol from the holster in a hurry and then with fucking crystal clear slow-mo video of that action leading directly to his finger going inside the fucking trigger guard you say that it has nothing to do with the holster. Contemplate your failure upon the Tree of Woe. |

Nothing like grabbing that trigger just as the pistol clears the holster. It seems strange to me people would wear a holster that requires you to use your index finger to remove the gun. IMHO the only time your index finger should move is when you have your pistol pointed in the direction you plan to shoot. |

I bought one years ago. When I actually used it, I could see where this might be a problem, especially under stress. I returned it.

Design flaw seems pretty obvious. Anyone not seeing it probably shouldn't handle loaded guns.
I've also heard (but not seen in person) foreign debris locking the mechanism closed. That'd be bad, too. |

Honestly, IMHO the design isn't even the worst part of the SERPA. They're just built like shit, with shitty plastic and lousy fasteners. One good tug and the holster body snaps right off of the belt attachment. They just suck, because they're cheap and shitty. As for the retention concept, Safariland took the idea and made it 87 times better. |

My finger is indexed correctly when I draw with a Serpa.
Retards were retarding on draws long before serpa came along. An idiot can put his finger on the trigger like the video on any kind of holster as soon as the gun leaves the holster... that isn't unique to serpa per se. I don't own stock in Blackhawk. Just saying... |
