In a day where MOLLE gear dominates the market, where every new pouch and device that comes out is dependant on PALS webbing, it allows one to utilize said pouches on their belt, as well as a drop leg holster/sub load/thigh rig/etc,, without the need for a big padded war belt, something I'm not a big fan of. It's like a war belt without the giant padded part, and in turn, makes it like a molle version of my gunbelt at work that I'm familiar with, only lighter and not as bulky as a war belt. Grab one and check it out, you won't regret. And if you turn around and feel like you want one, it's war belt pad compatible. Awsome man thanks much! Now I have to go emtpy the wallet some more |

Question: Has anyone run a Crye "lap panel" with their Crye JPC ?
http://www.cryeprecision.com/P-ARMUP902000/Lap-Panel%e2%84%a2 Also... I am 6'6" .....does the Board think XLarge will be adequate on Crye armor products (ie. Plate carrier, JPC, Armor Chasis) ? Thank You. |

That looks darned good for a home made rig. Can you do some layout pics?

Making up schoolyard names and hyperbole doesn't help your position I have two EOTechs and Six Glocks. I do not have any "brand name" hate issues. I have "product failling issues" and "product design issues" with the Serpa. For instance, when a former partner and I went to arrest an individual for an outstanding warrant, my partner carried his G19 in a Serpa holster on his right side hip. As soon as we approached the individual, he began to run. Once we caught him and tried to handcuff him, the fight was on. We were rolling around on the ground for about a minute or so when my partner yells "GUN". We both rolled off the Suspect and went to draw down on him. I drew my gun, my partner... well he realized that gun on the deck was his. During the struggle, we both believe that the holster's retention mechanism had gotten pushed as we were rolling around on medium grade rocks in someones front yard. That was issue number one. Issue number two was when I was working in the Arizona desert. I saw a USBP Agent that we were working with slip and fall in the sand. Nothing big or major, but it was a decent amount of sand and pebbles due to it being a dry river bed. Anyhow, as he was wiping off all the sand and dirt, he tried to draw his weapon and get the pebbles out of his holster area. Didn't happen. The gun was wedged in the holster and we were unable to get his gun out until the Patrol Agent took out his Gerber and pried the lock up. That was issue number two. The third problem I see with the SERPA is the simple fact that, IMHO, the only thing your index finger should be doing if you draw your gun is pulling the trigger. To require a person to use their trigger finger to put any kind of inward pressure on anything during the drawstroke is absolutely insane, to me. On top of that, to have the shooter putting any kind of pressure on a retention device within an immediate area around the trigger of a weapon, in a high-stress situation, is bad JuJu. That, is issue number three. Again, these are my personal opinions and situations that I have seen which could've ended much, much worse for everyone involved. So yes, I have an issue with shit that doesn't work and was built with inherant design flaws. Don't care if the name is EOTech, Glock, NcStar, Safariland, or whatever, if it fails when you need it, it does not belong on your person anymore and you have a duty to advise those that carry the item of your experience(s). If that's what you want to carry, please go right ahead. But at least think about the situations I had, and the hundreds of documented situations others have had. -SS ETA: The whole "each is recv'd well outside..." comment has little merit with me. No disrespect whatsoever, but I'd bet a few boxes of doughnuts that you'll find more people that know what they're doing and BTDT who carry a Safariland over Serpa for real world use. I have seen a huge shift in holsters from Serpas to various Safariland models for many reasons over the years. Again, carry whatever you want, but just do it with an open mind and best of luck.

Making up schoolyard names and hyperbole doesn't help your position I wouldnt put Serpa in the same category as EOTech and Glock. Serpa holsters are known to fail (sleepershooter brought up 3 good points). Sure, it works for some folks, but a Safariland will do just as good, if not, better.. Safariland > Serpa PS. I know its a gear porn thread so sorry for the hijack. |

Can we keep the serpa banter out? I think most folks are familiar with the pros and cons to the popular holster types.

Any holster can fail, and his points are easily countered. If he doesn't like it fine. Plenty of people have used them with great success. Does that mean they're wrong? No. Use what you want. Disagree with someone's section, fine. But leave biased opinions and emotion out of it.

How I'm gonna go for a while Exploded Left to Right- MORA Knife, Pressure Dressing (top) Radio and Bottle of MP7, 3 mags and a CAT I've had to make room for the radio- lost a magazine and added some trauma stuff. Befrore all I had was a BOK on my belt, but I figure I'm just as likely to run this with my CCW rig which has no trauma stuff. I need to add a sharpie and pen or two and maybe a lightsticks |
