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

    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.

    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.

    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’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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
