One of the new kids at work was considering buying a Serpa holster for off duty use. I referred him to this discussion.
He actually read part of it. He read the FLETC report on the problems with the Serpa and decided to buy something else (he's still researching I think)
I have to give him credit. Most of the time when one of the kids asks my opinion about something they don't pay attention to what I tell them nor read any material I refer them to that explains my conclusion . . .
I took LFI-2 in 2005. Part of that course is a block on weapon retention and disarming. I saw three Serpa holsters destroyed in two days during the weapon retention drills. That was enough for me, never mind the potential issues with an unintentional discharge.
