I don't need a really high level of concealment with this holster. It will be a fall/winter rig so I will have a cover garment over it, a jacket, coat or vest most of the time. In this instance, comfort is a high priority. I don't want the pistol or holster digging into my ribs and etc.

I’ve personally helped treat a couple self-inflicted gunshot wound directly resulting from use of striker fired guns with Serpa holsters. The offer was less for yourself and more to see that thing destroyed so it doesn’t bite whoever might wind up with it after you. Like destroying a cursed object in a fire.

Thats why I am replacing it. Maybe a video of shooting it with a 12 guage would be better .....

That will work.

Done! Found one on sale at Optics Planet. Had to buy a few ammo boxes to make the $49.00 minimum for free shipping.

Good stuff!

Don't feel too bad. I carried a SERPA on duty for a while. :p

Good work!

Note that OpticsPlanet sometimes takes orders on items they don’t have in stock, leading to long delays. If they give you any trouble, it appears Amazon has it in stock now.

They say it is in stock so I should be good to go.

You will certainly be GTG with the 7378. When I worked a plainclothes detail, I used it with our issue G23 (and later issue G45) mainly with the belt loops. It just felt more secure and comfortable. But it’s very much GTG with the paddle attachment.

Thanks for the input. I'll probably try it both ways.
