    Well, this isn't exactly correct.

    First, there is no such entity as the "Georgia State Police".

    They were banned by the Georgia Public Safety Training Center, but someone higher up the GPSTC food chain than the director of the firearms training ordered that they be allowed; so, now they are.

    Thanks for the correction, it's been a long time since I read it, my memory must have been cloudy.

    So now my initial post was almost entirely worthless/incorrect, LOL.

    One small department got a sweet deal and started issuing Serpa Duty Holsters. When they sent guys to GPSTC, the stink started.

    its on the line, NOVA
    I see enlisted guards and base civilian police using them at the gate all the time. (this is at a US Navy base)

    I assume they are issued to them, sadly.

    I will never use a SERPA again...
    I think many folks are coming to the realization that the SERPA sucks, and in time the only folks that will be extolling it's virtues will be the uninformed, the Youtube celebrities and folks who think it's okay to carry w/o a round in the chamber.

    Was talking to a instructor buddy of mine and the put into words what Ive always thought of the Serpa.

    "As gun men our trigger finger should only have One job on the draw stroke, Working the trigger!!! Not pushing a button on the holster or operating a light switch or ordering a pizza, just working the trigger" ( Of course this is providing that the trigger needs worked on that particular draw stroke)

    Most every instructor I know either hates them or puts up with them, but NONE recommend them!!

    I think Steve Fisher banned them over a year ago, there was a video of a shooter in his class whose gun was locked up in the serpa (he hadn't even rolled around in the dirt!)
