Well, I guess they won't be banned on USMC ranges for the time being.

I'm just waiting for someone to ghetto-rig a SERPA into an AIWB rig... whoever does so will earn a well-deserved Darwin Award in a fairly quick manner.
In case you hadn't heard, we are reporting today that the USMC just bought 27k SERPA Level 2 holsters. One for every M9 in the arsenal.
No joke.
Simultaneously showing that just because .mil buys it doesn't mean its good, and giving every knucklehead who thinks SERPA's are totally rad a lot of reinforcement.
"You can't ban it! The Marines use it! 'Murica! Fuck yea!"
At least the Marines are deployed in environments that don't have lots of rocks and dirt and sand and stuff to clog up their cool new holsters, so I can't really see this decision coming back to bite them in the ass.
This strikes me as reasonable. I've not heard of any Serpa horror stories with Sigs (or any DA pistol) and Serpas. Memphis PD issues the Serpa for their DAO and DAK Sigs and haven't had any ND's that I know of. The holsters apparently fall off of the mounting plate but no ND's with a long trigger pull weapon.
