Fantastic Holster! (LONG REVIEW NOTICE)
Okay...I have been a long time user of the Blackhawk SERPA holster. I saw this one and for the price I was extremely skeptical as it outwardly appeared to resemble a SERPA. I have always loved my SERPA and, despite the number of claims that this style of holster lends itself towards a number of accidental discharges. I have never, ever had a single issue in over 12 years of carrying one. Ever.Fast forward to this one. I bought it for the low price point just to see how bad of a copy it was of the SERPA.If you are considering buying this one and have any reservations about how well this holster stacks up to the BH, I can honestly say that this holster delivers. And I honestly was not even considering doing a review when I bought this as I had a preconceived opinion that it was not going to be a good holster.It IS a good holster and I am still incredulous that this holster setup is pretty much the same as the BH CQC which sells for at least 2-1/2 times more than this one.As these holsters are not supposed to be pretty to look at, there is always an expected level of fit and finish. This one is spot-on. No weird mold lines or extra polymer "flash" around any of the edges. Everything was clean, the hardware is solid and the holster does let you know when you have fully seated your handgun with a positve audible "click". The one feature that I was kind of concerned about when I saw this in the add was the additional "shield" or "shroud" on the outside of it. I was worried it may be just a ploy to make it simply look like more polymer was added when in reality it would simply be a flimsy and unnecessary addition.Again. My mistake. It serves an honest purpose and is not unnecessary at all. It affords added protection to the handgun and I discovered it actually helped my jacket to keep from snagging when I draw it from concealment. In my humble and professional opinion, this is a really nice addition. I know some will probably not care for it but to each its own.The belt slide attachment is very solid. It doesn't flex at all and, again, the mounting hardware is very solid.The only little con here, in my opinion, is the paddle attachment. It seems to flex more than what I am used to. And the 3 "teeth" that do the grabbing to secure the holster to the inside of your pants and over the top of your belt don't seem aggressive enough. It was relatively easy to slide the paddle off of my side with not much effort. In fairness though, the paddle did stay where I put it on my hip and never accidentally slid out during drawing my pistol. I guess I am used to what I call the "death grip" of the BH's paddle. I mean you could completely lift someone off of their feet as long as their belt would support the weight and the "teeth" would not let go. Great for holster retention but can be a real pain in the posterior when trying to take the holster off at the end of the day/shift.This one comes off easily, but not so much as to make me worry about an attempted holster grab or that I may draw the pistol one day and the holster not staying on my hip. Just maybe. a personal quirk that I just need to get used to and no fault of the manufacturer.Sorry so long with this review. But I am passionate about this holster. It is an unbelieveable price for a holster system that works this good.*NOTE* I am aware of certain schools that have banned these type of holsters from their training classes. The FBI, Thunder Ranch and Larry Vickers (former Delta Force) to name a few. While I DO understand why, I also feel that it simply a matter of inattentiveness and/or lack of trigger discipline on the shooters' part. I am not a fed or a former Tier 1 operator but I am a street cop who has drawn thousands and thousands of times from this style of holster and never, ever, ever had ANY accidental discharge when reholstering. I practiced and practiced with an EMPTY handgun AT LEAST 200 times before I actually started carrying it with a live pistol. If you are new to carrying or have not used a holster like this before, please, please, PLEASE DO NOT hang this holster on your hip and start carrying until you have practiced like I did!!! If you do not pay attention and get the action of reholstering committed to muscle memory you are playing a seriously dangerous game!!! This is in no way saying this holster is a bad idea, because it isn't. It's the ideology behind the design that not everyone understands.Be mindful of your trigger finger when reholstering until, again, you can do it without even thinking about it safely and consistently!!! Please!!!

Fits all Glock17,18c,19x Airsoft perfectly! Best Desl!
Fits All my Glocks so perfectly,the18c,19x,17g4 In both VFC and KWC perfectly! They are not a tight fit either so I’ve had no issues with any of my pistols finishes. I’m seriously not getting scratches or wear marks at all. Great holster! Great price! Cannot beat it!You need to grab these quick I’ve bought three of them and they fit all my Glocks no matter if they’re real steele or Airsoft! They’re perfect with great retention and release,they also come with belt and paddle attachments!The only con I can think of is I need mole or belt attachments that can attach differently for my load outs but hey I’m not complaining and I’ll find a way.Regardless I can buy an attachment and still have gotten a great price! In this economy that’s what I’m looking for and these holsters are great quality at a very fair and non greedy cost. Those are companies I want to buy from for everything! Honesty goes a long way and integrity means everything!

Fits my girlfriend's Glock perfectly, retention is awesome with a button
I love these button release holsters, and find they are easy to train with. I bought this for my girlfriend's gun, and she loves it so much she sent one to her mom. She'd never seen one of these, where you have to hit a button or you can't pull the gun out.I had one of that design at times when I was a Ranger, and the retention is just fantastic. You never have to check to see if your gun fell out after you dive, roll, flip, jump out of an airplane, or whatever.I've also seen a video where somebody tried to steal a gun right off a guy's belt while he open carried in public. The bad guy grabbed the gun from behind him, and yanked and yanked, but didn't get it. A fight ensued for his wallet, and the good guy drew his weapon and won the fight.More common, these holsters keep you from dropping your gun in the bathroom, or when you do something athletic.

Cheap, fast, or good - pick 3
Usually it's pick 2, on this, it nails all 3! This surpassed ALL of my expectations! I have several Blackhawk holsters, and I really like them... I'm building a shoulder rig and wanted another one... For the price, I didn't expect much, but putting them right next to each other's the only thing missing is the adjustment screw...

Excellent holster for glock 19/44
This holster fits the glock 19/44 perfecly. It secures the glock with a click, and ensures retention. Material is of great quality, I have a serpa for my vp40 and the overall thickness is very similar, withe the serpa beng thicker. As previously mentioned, the paddle is a bit on the flimsy side but still holds on to the belt exceptionally well. The included belt clip can take care of that if it really bothers some.For the price you cannot beat it.

Great customer service
As stated in previous comments the paddle part is a little flimsy. But the belt loop assembly is good. This company however is fabulous to buy from . I received the product and it didnt come with the belt attachement like it was suppose to. I sent an e mail to the company and they sent me out another complete holster. I got it within a two days. Great customer service. Fits my glock perfect. I would definitely buy from them again.

Surprisingly Good!
This holster is not bad for what you get, my Gen-1 Glock 22 locks in with no wiggle and no markings on the weapon. The construction with the plastic used seems durable, not too thick but this should be expected at this price point; the only mod I did was Loctite on the screws since I didn't want to over-tighten them.

It looked like it
It looked like it would be a great holster but the 2 little tabs that hold the paddle on are real flimsy. They bend real easy with barely any pressure. To me it felt like it would break with my gun in it. I would hate for that to happen and damage my gun when I'm out and about. So I returned it and went with my regular Blackhawk holster.
