The U.S. Forest Service LE has also banned use of the SERPA:

We (my agency) had an ND involving the SERPA about 3 months ago on the TX - Mexico border. It was during qualification with, a Glock/Serpa combo. Guy was really yanking the gun grip outboard. The round entered low hip right side, traversed leg and exited low inner thigh. No bone hit. He actually nicked the femoral.
Range staff had TQs on hand. First TQ applied broke being applied! (CAT TQ, not a counterfeit. But several years sitting in a hot car in Texas may have made plastic brittle enough to crack. Not sure which part broke, but nylon held). Second CAT applied directly below first, it held and worked as advertised. Agent fully conscious and aware, will make a full recovery.
And that boys and girls is how we are finally getting IFAKs for all gun carrying LEOs.
Talked with an acquaintance today who mentioned he's taking defensive pistol classes. Has been going to them for a year & has been using a Serpa holster with his Glock 19. Hmmmm . . .
Opinions please - - Knowing nothing else, what does this say to you about the trainer ?
